You know what I did today? Well, I’m sure you know already. I and many others suited up and faced this cold. It was soooooo cold! And windy, too. My gloves felt useless, so I took them off. At a point, my hands and toes were so numb that I had to go back into the car, warm up a little bit, and come back stronger. It was all worth it. I pray that what we did today will make a difference back home. That said, I’m still waiting for Boko Haram to claim responsibility for today’s cold. It could not have been natural!
