The Typhoon

This was a crazy week!!! We did hit pretty bad by the storm this last week. We got hit by the one yesterday as well. It didn't do much. We are safe. We have no electricity and no water!!! It is rather fun and makes life so much easier (can you hear that sarcasm)!!!
We did very little work this week, as you can tell. We haven't had to do that much service because a lot of what happened is the trees fell down and a few roofs flew off. We didn't get hit that hard. If houses were destroyed, it was because trees fell on them. Otherwise there is minimal damage. We will be without power and without water until December. I have heard 4 and 14 so I don't know when. It will be alright. We use candles and there is a water pump a few houses away that we get our washing water and then the couples come and give us clean water to drink. We are just happy we have cellphone signal now. At first we didn't so we couldn't contact president. He thanks you for having me here and staying updated.
I thought we would have gotten more but it was small. We are just working hard right now. We are trying to get more investigators and help out the people that we can right now. We are looking for service opportunities to help people listen to our message. Not much to say. It was cool to watch the storm. We had a good view of it out of the back of our house. The major damage was to the banana trees.
Love you all,
Elder Nielsen
PS I am good. Not a scratch from the storm.
