Mexico, Brrr?
Did you know that it gets cold here in Puebla? It's because of the elevation: 7000 feet. Admittedly it was very unusual for this time of year, but the thermometer read 33 degrees Fahrenheit at 7:00 this morning. It was probably below freezing before daylight.
That wouldn't be so bad, except for the fact that no one has heat in their homes, no furnaces or anything. Indoors it was 56 this morning! Being soft Americanos, we have a couple space heaters that run on LP, though we don't let them run at night while we sleep. I had to get out early this morning to catch the gas truck to replace our empty tank.
I never imagined that as a missionary to Mexico I would sometimes say, "Brrrr!"
