*Note: Typhoon Mangkhut (aka Ompong) was a Category 5 in the Philippines and made it's way towards Hong Kong/Macau and mainland China on September 15 and 16, 2018. China Hong Kong Mission reported that all missionaries are safe and accounted for and allowed each missionary to send a short e-mail to loved ones...
Kamusta po kayong lahat?
This is just a short email and notice to everyone. 😊 Our PDay is cancelled today due to the after storm effect so our mission president allowed us to email from our phones. Just want to notify everyone that I am safe and all the missionaries are safe as well.
Last Saturday was Typhoon 8 and yesterday was Typhoon 10 so they also cancelled church. I think Typhoon 8 is like PH's Signal 3 and Typhoon 10 is PH's Signal 4. The wind was so strong yesterday! We heard that a tree beside the temple was uprooted but luckily it didn't hit the temple or it would have caused damage to the temple.
President Phillips said he'll notify us when are we finally allowed to go out and also I think we'll do some service projects this week. He will also give us a longer time to email this week so just watch out for my next email.
By the way, transfers are this coming Thursday! I'll have a new companion and her name is Sister Frandsen. She's also [ending her mission] this coming transfer. Hmm, so that means I'll stay even longer here in my area. Maybe I'll be here til the end of the year hahaha.
