Wow what a first month in the philippines? Crazy! So quick update on the past few days. We were all told that the storm would hit friday and to prepare by getting extra food and water which we did. We stayed in our house all day friday. They said that we were expecting winds up to about 200 kilometers per hour here in Bohol which was crazy and pretty scary. We weren't too worried though becasue we felt like our house was solid. If i knew how much damage that kind of wind can doi wouldve been more scared. Anyway the storm never hit here in Tagbilaran. I don't think it really hit too hard anywhere in Bohol. I heard that the storm shifted north and just missed us which is such a blessing especially after hearing what happened in Tacloban. Oh man I can't believe how hard Tacloban got hit. So sad. We heard that 78 missionaries and the mission president have been found and they're okay but that means there are about 120 missionaries that they havent been able to locate yet. Please continue to pray for them and their families and the people in Tacloban. I think northern Cebu got hit hard too. But yeah so we are all safe down here. We went a couple days without power and people are scrambling for water but other than that there wasn't any damage. So I'm safe and there's nothing to worry about! When I heard a typhoon was coming I didn't know it was this dangerous or could do this much damage. I'm sure you all know from the news but Tacloban got hit with winds up to 315 kph so about 200 mph. Thanks for all of your prayers and emails! continue to pray for those in Tacloban because they need it. i love you all so much!
Love, Elder Fox
