Well it has been an interesting week for me. Wednesday morning I kissed Jason goodbye as he took off for a five day trip to Guam with the Cross Country team. On that same day the buzz began about "severe Typhoon Megi" in route from the Philippines threatening to directly hit Hong Kong. In case you are not as well acquainted with Megi, here is an introduction. She:
- killed 27 people in the Philippines this week
- sent 25 ft wave surges crashing into villages.
- has winds up to 260 kph
- is larger than Hurricane Katrina
- looked like the worst typhoon to hit HK since 1974
Normally I am up for a good typhoon, viewing it as the tropical equivalent to a snow day. But this is three times bigger than any typhoon I've experienced. The last three days I've been typhoon tracker. I am happy to tell you Megi has headed east and will be missing Hong Kong. Thank you Jesus! Please pray for Fujian and the coastal areas of Southeast China as they are bracing for this typhoon.
All of the windows were taped in expectation of the wind. . . can you guess what letter Josiah learned today?
Jason got to fly OVER the "super typhoon" not once, but twice on his way to Guam.

Love that you used it for a learning experience...yay letter x!
I checked this on my phone...and the icon was so tiny...it looked like he was using 2 lightsabers!
Wow...what a way to learn the letter x! Jason sure ends up being gone at interesting times...first when you watched your friends son and now during a severe typhoon.
Glad that you are all safe.
