Baby it's cold outside!

Hi friends! For some reason people always think that it never gets cold in Mexico. Well I am here to tell you it is cold here! I am sitting in my bed, with flannel sheets on, long very furry pjs on and socks and I am still cold! I would say it is about 50 degrees in our house. We don't have central heat here, and with tile floors and concrete walls it feels like an ice box. I am only setting this up so you will understand how my neighbors must feel.

Adolfo, who is still hangin' in there; is all bones. He truly looks like someone from a concentration camp. He is always in his bed and just doesn't want to eat. But he is always cold. They live in a wooden home with concrete floors and some of the cealing is open so the air comes in pretty easily. It literally hurts me to think about. So tonight I brought over an electric blanket. You would have thought I brought over a million dollars. It was so fun to watch as they touched it and saw that it actually got warm. So after about 15 minutes he stopped shivering and went to sleep. I felt so much better just knowing he would sleep a little better. Please pray for them. There are so many just like them that are cold. Really cold. The kind of cold that you can't make stop. We don't know how good we have it. I complain when I am cold and I at least have tons of blankets, pjs, a mattress, a space heater and plenty of ways to get warm. They have nothing.

Thanks for praying!
