Haitians continue to deal with the emotional strain, joys, and grief left in the wake of the quake of January 12. A missionary sent me a text message today, telling me he had a visit from a good friend. How happy he was to know his friend was still alive after the quake!
After talking with him, he learned his friend had been rescued from the main floor of a 5-story building that collapsed on him. The good news quickly followed on the heels of bad news, as the missionary learned that the same building collapse had killed some of their mutual friends.
The miraculous part of the story was that the friend talking to him happened to fall into a space between two checkouts when the building fell. It could be he was referring to the collapse of the Palmera Market in Port-au-Prince.
