TYPHOON!!!!

We have been hit with a typhoon.  It started last night and has continued today.  It's currently pouring and extremely windy.

Our trip to the villages has been delayed and might possibly be cancelled.  There is only one village that we could walk to and we have been told that it's a possibility if it stops raining.

We have no power but there is a generator giving us limited power.  We are so thankful for that!  We know the villagers are hungry and we are still hoping we can get to them with rice.  We shall see...  Not sure if the medical clinic can happen but if not, we can leave the medicines here with the doctor.  They will all get used!

We have been told to pray that there are no mudslides, as there is a lot of mountain above us.  For now we are safe!

The typhoon reminds me of the hurricane we had in Boston two years ago.  Soooo....been there, done that!  At least the generator here keeps the bathroom working!
