This area used to be green!
The upstairs of this building was totally demolished.
Huge trees were down every where.
Chow King is no more!
We've had a chance to drive through most of the areas affected by the Typhoon. It's so sad to see the lush vegetation totally stripped and everything is brown. Even sadder was to see thousands of collapsed homes and roofs torn off.
We went past a huge tree that had someone's roof stuck in the top of it. We also saw a large grove of palm trees all down and I had heard that palm trees are rarely affected by typhoons, they are made to bend and sway with the winds. These were broken off at the base.
One of our favorite restaurants in Ilagan is Chow King, it is now a shell--all the windows were broken out and the insides gone.
Still our Tuguegarao, Roxas and Ilagan zones have many missionaries without power. We worry about them but every time we check on them their spirits seem good. They continue working in their areas doing cleanup around their missionary duties. This week are zone meetings and between us and the Assistants we will be visiting every zone. We will be able to get another update after our visits.
