Our country, The Philippines, is currently encountering a super typhoon called, "Yolanda". Its recorded as one of the strongest typhoon that hit the planet. One of the three main islands that we have was smashed early this morning with strong winds and unending rain. No electricity and everything. Can't sleep because of a forceful wind outside. Please let us all pray! Love,love,love! :-) - Den
