The weather has been cold here. Tuesday as I caught up on this blog, I was sitting on our bed working with a blanket around me and I was still really warm. I had previously shut all the windows, but the house was cold. We have no way to heat the house, unless I turn on the oven and open the door. I decided to see what the temperature was. It was 68 degrees. How could I be so cold at 68 degrees? My favorite Utah weather is between 60 and 72.
Tonight all the S&I guys came to the Suva Stakes Institute class at the stake building. That is where I teach Prepare for Eternal Marriage. When some of them walked into my class I was teaching to two students. Everyone else had stayed home because of the rain and the cold. FYI, I had worn my warmest outfit, a cotton T under a polyester 3/4 length jacket. I was even wishing for nylons which I did not bring to Fiji. After class we walked out with the S&I men. During the conversation I said something about them being mad that they had come to Fiji for the warm weather and had been met by the cold and the rain. Wayne from New Zealand wanted to know what I was talking about. "This isn't cold", he said.
I held up my arm and said, "Even with this jacket on, I am freezing."
"You are from Utah. This is just like your weather at home. How can you be cold? You must have adjusted." I really had not thought about it, but I guess I have, because I am cold.
