Typhoon Update: La Union
03/10/09 23:13 Filed in: Parma/Pepeng
From Pastor Cedric Panis, La Union, The Philippines
Typhoon Parma's local name here is Typhoon Pepeng. Our province, La Union, was one that got hit by this typhoon. It was in our path...
No major damage, we were prepared. The wind was very, very, strong last night, with lots and lots of rain, and due to the very strong wind, the water was being blown upwards, thus getting inside our bedroom. Good thing, it just wet our flooring, even after we closed all the windows...
Our home, which is concrete, is all soaked. I did not realize that concrete can get soaked and wet... We are now waiting for sunshine, but none, so far... The sunshine never came, so it's just been raining all day long...
Good thing, we still had sunday service, and our church was also wet, and about half of our regular attendees came, I understand... so, we just praised the Lord for our safety, and God's message was so good, to be ready in season and out of season, we are still close to God, and continue to seek HIS goodness.
We thank you for all your prayers.
