Weather Update

Many folks have sent emails asking about the weather here and if we are ok.  We are ok but the situation is getting worse.  Belgrade (where we live) is the least effected by snow.  We have about 2 feet on the ground now.  The biggest problem is not the snow but the extreme cold.  Its -4 F as I write this.  For the first time in over 25 years the Danube River has frozen.  This has caused many problems in getting fuel and coal to the frozen parts of Eastern Europe.  Because of this cold electricity and gas are being used faster then the governement can replace them.  They are urging people to reduce usage as much as possible.  The villages and small cities in Western and Southern Serbia have been the hardest his and 15 people have died from the cold.  Please pray for a repreive from the cold and for food to reach those stuck in hard to reach areas.  The 10 day forecast calls form more snow and extreme cold over the weekend.
Thanks for the prayers and concern, keep praying.  I'll keep you updated.
