Well, come to South Texas and you will be....um...well...a little warmer, but not much. It has been abnormally cold here as well as around the whole country. We live by the "3" in 36 on the south end of Texas (see map below). All the Bible Institute students are freezing and thinking the end of world is coming. If they only knew what -23 felt like...
One student, named, Oscar, just arrived from Equatorial Africa (the only Spanish speaking country in Africa). Unfortunately, he lost his luggage on his trip over. He arrived on campus with nothing but a small bag and the clothes on his back. Then on top of that, south Texas is having a "cold snap". He said that he has NEVER felt this cold in his whole life. Several people graciously gave him a jacket and other items of clothing to get through the first few days.
There are so many other stories of God's people helping God's people here on campus that I could share. Thank the Lord for a bond in Christ that surpasses languages, customs, or countries.

If you get to know Oscar, would you pass along his descriptions of his country? I have always been fascinated with "the only Spanish speaking country in Africa" but know little about it!
