Earthquake in Haiti

Today I arrived safely (yet red-eyed) in the Dominican Republic. As we were getting out of the car at the house everyone let out a unanimous, "Whoa, did you feel that?!...are you feeling that?!" I put one hand on the door frame of the house (not for stability but just to get a sense of the movement) as it felt the ground was slowly swaying under my feet and I looked in the house to the the lightfixture shifting back and forth. It was really a weird sensation to essentially fell the earth moving below you...and around you.

Here in the barrio everything seems to be ok but, as I'm sure you've seen on the news, Haiti sustained more serious damage as the epicenter of the 7.0 quake (and aftershocks).

Be in prayer for Haiti--a country that has so many challenges at the "best of times"--and the many people impacted by this earthquake.
