This past Tuesday, a devastating earthquake erupted in Haiti. Since then more than 45,000 Americans are predicted missing. Family members of certain church groups who missioned there and family of students studying there are hoping for the best. Communications has been very hard and it's nearly impossible to come in contact with people. Many examples include 30 year old Chelsey who has been living in Haiti for two years. She's working on her doctoral dissertation in anthropology and her parents have not heard back from her yet. Another example is a church group from New Jersey who was planned to stay in Haiti for one week. Their flight was expected to leave the day of the earthquake, but since then the church has not heard back from them. They are hoping and praying for a miracle.
I hope for the best for family members and loved ones who are awaiting life changing phone calls from missing others. It is tragic when a natural disaster hits a country. Haiti had already been a poor and needy country and this was the tragic accident that gave no hope to its people. I know many life's were lost in this event and I hope that people who are missing are found soon so their loved ones can be at a peace of mind. As for the 45,000 Americans missing, most went to Haiti for a mission to help the country turn around on a positive note. To those people i pray the best.
