Day 109 - Sunday, October 16, 2016

Today a typhoon hit our mission.  The Philippines name for the typhoon was Karen.  Karen made landfall along the oceanside near Baler.  It was almost one year to the day that Typhoon Lando hit the same place.  The winds were about 130 mph.  Luckily there wasn't as much rain as last year.  Baler was the worst hit and many homes were damaged.  There are families living at the church in Baler for a few days until they can make repairs.  All of our missionaries were safe and accounted for early on.  We are grateful for the prayers of many faithful friends and family members.  
In the afternoon we made our way to Angeles for a meeting.  The members were just getting out of their meetings.  This couple was prepared for anything as they traveled home.  They were ready for anything that might come their way.
