Here is the letter I received from Dr. Thang Bwee this morning. I have not edited it, so the English is a bit broken.
Dear Dr Bacon,
Greetings to you in the Lord. Praise His name for His marvelous love and protection. Though it was terrify typhoon which destroyed several building, mess up everything and lost thousands of lives, we were kept safe under His wings.
Of course there were some little damages such as roofs of our buildings were opened up and living room became like bath room with heavy shower rain.
All Cashew trees from my farm where we have been last time were completely destroyed by this typhoon but none of us were hurt.
Anyway, everyone of us in the Church were kept safe. Nargis typhoon visited to Yangon for a few hours and mess up everything and gone through immediately.
It was from 2:00AM to 10:00Am on the 3rd of May. That morning was terrifying morning to us all.
People are now suffering with consequences of typhoon such as public transportation, communication and trading are stopped . No light, no water in the whole city of Yangon. Yangon looks like war zone at this moment.The picture of Yangon is now different. People are keeping busy with seeking food, water and to repair their damages houses and buildings.
The prices of everything are rise up into two to three time than normal.
Please pray for the recovery which might cause us a lot and for this people to discover the love and the safety of God in the midst of this circumstances.
I hope you will surely see our situations in your daily news at this moment.
