Weather Report
The super typhoon (hurricane) earlier
this week did a lot of local damage – including a large tree
falling on a house we were renting 20 years ago. There was only
minimal damage to the GI (steel) roofing on our house now, and
some
water blowing in through the jalousie windows. The next province had
a
lot of storm damage to homes and many landslides & one main
bridge destroyed when the foundation washed out.
The storm had a lot of wind which
washed huge waves over the sea wall in Manila and then the sea
wall
prevented it from draining back to Manila Bay – the US Embassy was
flooded and closed
Lots of trees down and power was out
from Tue to Thu. It is not unusual for the power to be out for 4-8
hrs for maintenance or upgrade or for other reasons but we learn
to
appreciate it more when it is out for 3 days, other places of
friends
might be out for weeks.
Saturday – another storm has arrived,
while the previous one is doing damage in China now
Most ministry schedules should be able
to continue, but the main university for our student ministry was
closed for most of the week – another interruption in addition to
a
4 day week-end recently, and mid term exams. Please pray for the
new
believers to continue in their Christian life.
Sally and her ladies visited some of the indigent families that they are helping on Thu, but most were not seriously affected by the storm
Ambruce and 2 of his children have
been
sick this week. Pray also for their recovery – thanks
Dennis & Sally
