Typhoon... and Korea

A Typhoon is passing through Taiwan. During the middle of the night it started to rain incredibly hard and the winds are crazy. I can visibly see wind...I don't think that is supposed to happen! And, the rain is flying sideways from the wind. It isn't flooding yet in the city we are in but that is because we are not right on the coast. I have no idea what the conditions on the coast are. The news says that the typhoon should be past by later today and is heading north. However, this morning the Korea team is supposed to leave for Taipei to get to the airport. Our flight is this afternoon to Korea. The weather is horrible and we don't know if everything planned will work out. The storm tracker also predicts the storm moving north.... right over South Korea! That is where we'll be! So, needless to say: prayer for protection is always needed, but right now it is very very important. Please pray for those staying here as well as the five of us girls who have to travel to Taipei and to S. Korea later today.
... what an adventure, right? I think it's an adventure I could live without! This morning we read from Philippians and I was convicted: if Paul can praise God from jail then why not praise Him in themidst of a typhoon! I miss you all! See you in about a week!
