The above map gives the information about the path of Typhoon Yolanda, my present location, and where we were planning to go this morning. At the present time, the typhoon is tracking slightly north of the projected path. As you can see, our schedule would have taken us into the center of the projected path. All transportation into the area is being stopped within the next few hours and is not anticipated to be back to normal for at least 3 days after the storm passes. The only real choice was to cancel our plans. I am considering and praying about another possible change of plans to fly to Masbate later in the trip after it is again safe. As usual, our plans in the work here have to remain fluid and often change quickly to adjust to the situation. The work in Masbate has a priority with me because of the great need to follow-up with the recently converted denominational preachers and many of their contacts. Please keep us in your prayers as we consider the wisest use of our time and the conditions here.
