THE FOLLOWING IS A PARTIAL TRANSCRIPT OF EMAILS
BETWEEN THE WILLIAMS FAMILY AND WORLD VISION
WHERE FRANK WILLIAMS IS EMPLOYED.
June, Dawn, Pria and I left PaP at 1:30am Friday, arriving at a
US Air Force base in New Jersey receiving evacuees from
Haiti. June was immediately taken to a hospital for x-rays and
review while we received supplies, food and clothing, and
medical clinic attention for Dawn and Pria. Everyone was
incredibly nice and professional. June does not have a
broken leg as feared and is beginning the healing process.
We arrived in Connecticut at approximately 3pm. God has
done the miraculous for us.
Trevor has stayed in Haiti to volunteer his emergency medical
technician skills and is staying with the Nungester family near
Quisqueya Chapel. He may join a search and rescue team
with the Los Angeles County Fire Department that has arrived
in PaP.
Many, many thanks for prayers and encouragement from
Global Centre colleagues.
Frank
Friends,
We have all continued to pray for Haiti including praying for
Frank and his family. They left Haiti last night and are now in
the United States to recuperate. Their son Trevor wrote a
message about what happened to his family and forwarded it
through a friend. It is worth sharing it here for us to
appreciate the situation and how much we need to continue
praying:
"It's been a crazy past 24 hours. When the earthquake hit I
was on the second floor of and orphanage building,
fortunately the building was stable and I was unharmed. All
communication went down and I had no contact with
my family. I helped with medical aid and feeding. At 10:30pm
my dad found me and told me that our five story apartment
building had collapsed on my
Mom and two sisters and that they were probably dead. It was
hard not to go to the collapse and immediately start
searching for them, but all the roads
were blocked with fallen down buildings and it was too dark
and dangerous to do any of that at night.
I couldn't sleep, so I put together stuff I would need for search
and rescue the next day. The next day we stopped and my
dad's office to pick up some tools and at the same time my
mom and sisters came walking in. They had survived! They
had some injuries, but nothing major. Mom has some PTS.
Joyous reunion, but the fact that they survived is truly a
miracle. The city is devastated, many people died. Il be doing
triage and next week start training fire fighters with the United
Nations if all goes as planned. I miss you guys. Keep Haiti in
your prayers."
