We are bracing for super typhoon Pepeng. It is due to landfall tomorrow afternoon, but we are beginning to feel the effects of it already. The storm itself has slowed, which could indicate, according to the meteorologists, that it may change direction. Currently it is heading a bit north of us here in Baguio. But the other scenario is that the high pressure system currently over Hong Kong, could block it and cause it to track more south, or across Central Luzon, which is where we are. We are praying that it will continue to track north, although sometimes you feel guilty praying for such things as it will mean much suffering for others who live in those regions. We pray that His will would be done.
I am writing this update now because I am not sure if we will continue to have electricity tomorrow or internet service for a while if the storm tracks this way. We will try to keep you updated the best we can. Thank you all for praying. It is really our prayer that this storm will spare Manila of more heavy rain. They have already suffered much. So many of our brothers and sisters lost everything and several chapel buildings are completely destroyed. This is a huge storm and will bring rain over all of Luzon. So much suffering.
Keep praying…and we will up date you again when we can.
