January, 2017
Humble beginnings. A bit of culture shock, but we are remembering that it is in the middle of the winter and everything looks very bleak. We are not used to that either since winter is the most beautiful time of the year in Arizona. The first few days were bitter cold with temperatures as low as they were in Provo. I think we brought the cold weather with us as the week before the temperatures were about 20 degrees higher than they were in Provo. The people here say they can't remember when it has ever been this cold here. Lucky us! I guess we are being baptized by fire - or maybe it is by ICE! Yesterday, January 13th, we had about 18" of snow. Everything looks beautiful now covered in a blanket of fresh snow. I'm sure glad I brought my warm coat. I'm amazed that I haven't really been all that cold - even at -12 degrees Celsius! That's about 10-12 degrees Fahrenheit.
