Surviving the Storm

Dear All,
I just wanted you all to know that we are surviving the storm. It has rained for six days straight and the rivers have been dangerously high, but no one at the school has been hurt. The entire town has been shut down for the past three days since the rivers have been dangerous to pass. The school and my apartment are both built with solid roofs and located on one of the bigger hills in town. My clothes and shoes are perpetually wet and the wet weather is not helping my ear infection heal, but I am in good spirits and taking the opportunity to rest. No teachers or students have been hurt to my knowledge. There are numerous houses that are poorly constructed and built within feet of the river that have been destroyed and several people have been killed in the process. For the most part, living in the mountains has protected us from the high winds. The main problem is the massive amounts of water. I think I am getting a taste of what Noah must have felt like when he was building his ark. Please continue to pray for protection for the school and its students as well as the families that live too close to the river and are still in danger.
