Haiti one year later

Yesterday Hugo and I attended a prayer circle (not the Mormon kind) held in remembrance of the earthquake in Haiti last year. We gathered on a lawn in the center of town, and at 4:53, people rang bells for 35 seconds, the duration of the first tremor.

Patches and Hugo ended up in the local paper. You probably can't see it well, but there's a conch on the ground between Hugo's right knee and the Haitian flag. I brought that with me from Haiti in 2007.

Read the news story.

Where are you, God?
Where are you hiding?
How long must your people cry out
before you will hear
and take action?

Mighty Creator—
open your eyes;
bend your ear;
be moved with compassion;
stretch out your hand;
show yourself.

(adapted from D&C 121:1-2, 4)
