I am sure most everyone has heard about Typhoon Haiyan that
made landfall in the
Philippines
and then headed toward
Vietnam
this last Friday. Well I have a friend there named Arjhon and his parents
Arlene & Josue. His parents live in
Iligan
City and he lives in
Cagayan de Oro City, both in the Mindanao Province.
I have yet to have word from them and I have yet to hear how bad their cities
were hit, though communications are still mostly down. I am praying they are
fine and I am also praying that the Brother’s and Sister’s at the local Kingdom
Halls are fine or soon will be. My prayers and thoughts are also with all in
the country who were affected in some way or another by this most powerful
storm. The pictures and video do remind me of America’s Super Storm Sandy and
Hurricane Katrina, but Typhoon Haiyan was even more powerful and destructive.
I think if I don’t hear from
Arjhon by this Friday I will try and get in touch with his Aunt Gemima and
Uncle Keith who live in America,
maybe they have been in touch with them over there.
Again my thoughts and prayers go
to all in the Philippines
and Vietnam.
May they all get the support and help that they need.
