Last winter was, to say the least, extremely frigid! It was cold everywhere we went - church, stores, and even at home. And though this summer was hot we were enjoying the non-frigid temperatures. A few days ago autumn finally arrived with some extremely cold nights. Since two quilts and winter PJ's haven't kept us warm enough at night, I put our caliente de cama's (heating blankets of a sort) back on our bed today. But I'm really looking forward to using our new AC/Heaters, a gift from our home church.
Concerned that we not freeze again this winter our home church sent funds for us to buy two AC/Heaters. Our new split model air conditioner/heaters are awaiting installation. They look just like the one above - which is in our LR right now. The plan is to move the one from the LR into a bedroom and put the other two in bedrooms so all of us can sleep at night instead of freezing...or baking, whatever the season may be.
This is a tremendous answer to prayer for us. Living with the extreme heat and cold, without relief, has probably been one of the hardest adjustments to life here in Uruguay. Thanks so much Pastor Wagner and church family at Macomb Baptist for taking such wonderful care of us!

I'm so jealous - heat and AC! Wow what a blessing. I survived this summer though there were days when I was unable to do very much because it was SO hot! The heat is a blessing for winter - people in America don't understand how cold it can be in your home when there is NO heat at all. I'm excited for you all! Next summer will be a "breeze" for you! (As long as you never leave your house!)
Hopefully our cement walls will do a good job holding in the heat. But I'm especially happy about our not having to suffer this winter. Last winter was really rough on us. CHurch will still be cold but at least we'll have a warm house to come home to.
