Well Hello Everybody
I am doing okay.
We did experience a large typhoon and we had to stay inside our house all
day. It was kind of hard but luckily we have four missionaries in our
house instead of just two. Many of the members of the church went to the
chapel and stayed there because they weren't sure that there houses would hold
up for the storm. Many trees and houses have been knocked down and broken
here and we didn't have electricity for 4 days at our house. We were
smart though and we had enough water and food for the four days that we
couldn't really get much support. We were one of the lucky parts of the
area. The way the storm was spinning the winds were mostly blocked by a
couple of mountains that protect the Danao valley. We are very fortunate
and grateful that it wasn't worse. Part of our mission that is very north
is called Bogo. They were hurt quite bad and we are not sure that the
missionaries will stay in that area. The damage from the hurricane was
about equal to that of the earthquake in some areas. For the Tacloban
mission they were hit the worst for the storm and all of the missionaries were
evacuated yesterday and they are now safe in Manilla but the plan for them is
not so sure. We are looking at lots of problems to deal with but
nothing that will stop us. We will continue to work hard and do our best
because we know that this is the true gospel of Jesus Christ and we can help
these people. I love you all back home. I am safe and I still have
my testimony that keeps me moving.
Love Elder Roskelley
