Hey familia :)
So yesterday we had the big typhoon/hurricane hit HK. It was kind of a letdown--we stayed inside all day and all we could see from our window was a lot of wind and rain. There weren't any deaths in HK, just 200ish injuries (because a lot of people think it's cool to feel the real force of the typhoon by standing on the pier, exactly what they tell you NOT to do. I will reserve my comments about natural selection for another time). There's some flooding going on but nothing incredibly dangerous. Just in case though, the mission is having us stay inside all day today while the city cleans up, so we will not be emailing normally until later in the week. We're just allowed to send you a short one to let you know that we are still alive (and very stir crazy). Love you all tons! Talk to you sometime later in the week. :)

I have been following with concern and prayers, the progress of the typhoon. I understand that a typhoon would be called a hurricane in other areas of the world. Your comment is an interesting one about people doing what they are told not to do. Free agency comes with blessings and consequences! I have wondered why some people refuse to evacuate when told, (and even when given plenty of lead-time) then, need to be rescued later. Perhaps, in the "natural selection" of things, it "thins" the population. :)
