Depressed

I know I can’t have the spirit when I am depressed.



Claude and his family are being kicked out of their home. He is only one of a whole subdivision. The land is technically government property.. The man who sold it to the many Haitians so many years ago did not own it. These people bought the property and have a paper to prove it. The government has known they were building for years...and just let them build. Now they are telling them to get out. They are coming with bulldozers and knocking down everything they own. How is this possible? What will become of them? Because many of them are really illegally here, they will offer to pay for a one way ticket back to Haiti. These are people who have worked and worked and spent thousands of dollars to have something they thought was their own. When the economy was good, they needed them here to do all the jobs that were here. Now the economy is horrible and they want them to go home.



We had (Tuesday night) family night planned and no one came so we closed up everything and headed home. It rained really hard today. I think that is why no one came. Last week there were about 20 people there, so we thought at least a few would show up.



Kesner came just as we were in our car leaving for home. He had just gotten off work and came as fast as he could. We took Kesner home. He is 24 years old, was baptized within the last six months, and was just made an elder. He works for Business Solutions.....an office supply store. He gets $200 a week. He works all the hours they need him and lives there as the guard at night. He has no where to go to the bathroom or take a shower. His parents live in Haiti and he sends much of what he makes home to them.



Mike and I are having a very hard time. I hope we make it.



I think the devil is not going to sit around and do nothing when so many are getting the priesthood and building the kingdom.
