October was a strange month in Barbados.
A few days after I arrived in the island, some kind of tropical system caused unusual flooding across the country.
Sam Lorde's Castle (an historical site as well as a former hotel) was mysteriously destroyed by fire. (It was in disrepair prior to this as well)
Our Prime Minister succumbs to his 7 month long battle with pancreatic cancer. Our youngest PM dies after only a short 100 days in office.
During the time of mourning for our PM a tropical depression which quickly became a tropical storm then a hurricane. It seemingly came out of nowhere... or maybe we were still reeling from the loss of the PM. No one was prepared for it, it seems. Some places have taken more than a week to have water and electricity restored.

As for me, I'm making every effort to rest while visiting people as often as I can. Also visiting cell groups.

Other possibilities exist as well. I really want to use this time at home well and wisely!
