We had a goodbye party for one of the Sister's who had come from Minnesota to help for two weeks. Spiritual-wise Father Paul is saying a Sunday Mass at the Olympic refuge center. I had First Communions in two colonies. We had to have one Mass outside due to the fact that the Church had two inches of standing water. Hopefully the process will get moving before we lose the flow of aid.
Aid is still quite slow getting to the people.
This has been a blessing and a curse. A blessing for it has given us time to get a bit more organized in developing a distribution system. A curse for many people have not had their needs met. Bureaucratic tangle-ups have slowed down releasing containers and it is reported that there is a mountain of supplies that still have to be shipped. I thank God for all of you in solidarity with us here.
