The past 5 days have been rough...for lack of better words. I can not even explain the events that have unfolded and the suffering we have seen and been through. This one about broke me and I am still emotionally trying to deal with it...we were hit with 3 back to back typhoons, the latest one on Thursday did us in. I just can't even put it into words yet.. I'm trying to heal from all the tramatic things that we have just went through, and are still dealing with..
6 feet of water submerged our whole village within 2 hours after the main dam broke here. Everyone that does not have an upstairs was swept away. We live up on stilts ( the equililent of a 2nd story building..) so people began to swim here. We had 150 evacuees stranded in our home and church. We have had no running water or power for FIVE days. No way to go to the bathroom other than in cups and throw it outside.. ( that is nearly 200 people all doing this right here)... the smells, the sounds. I am just still coping through this. I am usually a strong person, but this one has broken me.
Everything is ruined in the church, the mess and filth is undescribable. this is my 2nd MAJOR natural disaster in one year's time...Im tired and sick and distraught. Please pray for me.
I'm posting some pictures now and will talk more about this when I am emotionally ready.
Just pray right now for this... 1. many church members have lost everything, 2. there is no food, no gas and no roads open for supplies to get in 3. the mess that we have to deal with now is unreal
ok, well...I'm gonna try to post some pictures.
