It was -9 degrees this morning when I went to start the car. It's FREEZING! I don't think I've ever been so cold in all my life. Still no snow, I'm guessing it's too cold to snow right now. I think I got all my Christmas shopping done, now I just have to put everything together and mail.

Please be praying for me and my coworker this week. Many of the girls are feeling stressed as some are looking at going home for good next week, and some aren't sure. One of the girls has been very angry the last few weeks. Many of the girls don't listen to us when we say that their behavior now affects their chances of going home. Pray for wisdom in dealing with each girl, for understanding, and for God's love to be evident in our relationships with these kids. We have a busy schedule this week, and sometimes that just adds to the stress. Pray that I will look to God for help, strength, and encouragement.

Keep steadfast in what you say to the girls - they will respect you for it. Spend a little more time in the Word- it will strengthen & sustain you through these stressful times.
I love you, Aunt P. XO

Rosanna, if you want snow you should be here in Dallas, not that it compares to some other areas of the country but it's enough for me. I haven't had my car out for a week -I'm too sissy to drive (or perhaps I'm being wise?)

I don't envy your minus zero weather - had enough of that growing up in northern Wisconsin with some -20 stuff!

Trust things are working out better with your girls. God bless you and give you wisdom.

Have a wonderful Christmas.

Love, Goldye
