This week has been calm. On Monday some parents didn't send their children to school just to be cautious, but everything was fine. In fact, the huge potholes in the roads on our way to school are being fixed! How nice.
More directly in response to the protests, I've heard that the price of rice is supposed to go down by 15%. I think that means that the government will subsidize it.
In addition, the prime minister of Haiti, Mr. Alexis resigned and the President, Mr. Preval, said that the government will pay for the windows that were broken (although I don't know where they'll get the money from.)
The cybercafe has been open all week, but has been very quiet.
Just this morning (Friday, April 18), I was able to talk to a man about his faith when he came in to make a photo-copy. He said he used to be a Christian, but even though he knew God could forgive him, he said he couldn't forgive himself. I told him the story about the theif on the cross - how he had sinned right until the last day of his life, but Jesus still forgave him. He was in a hurry, but I gave him a tract that clearly explains the Gospel and encouraged him to come by again and talk.
Please pray for Euwin!!
