>Missionary returns to post-quake Haiti

>Progress made, much to be done, Holding says

>By Mary Frances Schjonberg

[Episcopal News Service] Mallory Holding's friends who met her at the
Port-au-Prince airport on Maundy Thursday could tell by the lilt in
her voice that she was glad to be back in Haiti nearly three months
after the magnitude-7 earthquake of Jan. 12 cut short what was
supposed to have been her year of service in the Episcopal Diocese of
Haiti.

"They even noticed in my voice that I sounded happier," Holding said
April 12 during an interview with ENS.
