so.. it is still raining

i realize that i already wrote rain in a few titles... but that is what is going on here. A lot of houses are under water and and many have water above my knee. I helped some families yesterday put up shelves to keep their electronics out of the flooding in their houses. My room began to get wet recently. The only problem is that the water is coming from the floor up... so it is not bucket worthy. no way to "catch" the water. I just have towels down and keep my things in a different place. It is ok though. I am not worried about it. The rain will pass. The weather says it will be raining for one more week. It is kind of bumming me out a little. But i bought a rain coat and boots. I wear them almost everyday despite everyones embarrassment of me. I like to stay dry. Things are going smoothly with the organization. The meeting with the president was postponed until next week because there is flooding at the college. The school hasn't had class for a week because of the rain and flooding at the teacher's homes as well as at the school. I have had a little more time to work on things for the Organization. I am going to Ormoc on Friday morning to help out with the Street kids there. Then i am staying the night with another volunteer, Liam. His birthday is on Saturday so we are coming back to Tacloban together and i have planned out a day for him here. I am planning a surprise party for him with the other Volunteers on Sat. night so that should be a lot of fun. But since he is normally in Ormoc i planned a day in Tacloban for him to see everything before he leaves back to Australia in a week. I am trying to take time for myself to stay rested. I had a bad fever and felt really sick yesterday morning. My eyes were really swollen and i felt horrible. the Coordinator of VFV wanted me to go to the doctor. But i told them to wait another hour. So i prayed that I would be healed of whatever was goign on and that i would not be sick anymore. (plus i am not to sure about a hospital here.) Anway... within an hour my eyes had gone down and my fever was completely gone. within two hours my eyes were pretty much back to normal... :) So i was able to go back to evertyhing. PRAISE THE LORD! I guess i won't be bragging about everyone else getting sick instead of me. OK... don't have much time. I will be back in three weeks. I can't believe it! I love you all and miss you much. Keep me in your prayers.
