Today is the runoff election for President of Haiti. The polls are open and the lines are long. But in at least one large tent city, there is no polling place.
Pray for safety. Last night Wyclef Jean, a rap star who tried to run for president but was ineligible, was shot in the hand. The car he and other entertainers were in was shot at. He is OK. He has been living in the US but is in Haiti to support one of the candidates. We don't really know if this had anything to do with the election per se.
Other than this, it has been very calm here the last few days.
UPDATE: many polling areas are waiting for materials, although they were supposedly open at 6am.
We're on our way to church (don't worry it's not far) to pray for the elections and worship God. Richard is worship leader this morning.
