Today it was too hot to do anything. We managed our school work when it was cool in the morning, but in the afternoon it was too hot to move. The temperature in our room was 35 degrees Celsius. This was almost manageable with the fan on, but then the power was cut for a few hours and I was really miserable.
This evening we, along with a number of other Baha’is, celebrated the beginning of Ayyamiha by visiting an old age home for the poor. It is run by nuns, but people of all religions stay there. One of the sisters gave us a bit of a tour and showed us the good work that they are doing there. The Baha’i community bought rice to feed the residents and donated it during our visit.
We ended back at the Baha’i Centre where the care takers family invited people in for dinner. We said some prayers and then had a bit of a sing-along where Nadim remembered some of the songs they used to sing when he was here. It was fun, but the heat was still getting to me. The food was very good, and everyone enjoyed it.

Here is so cold, we do not know what to do with it. There it is so hot you do not know what to with it. In hot days,i think outside under a big tree or in the park there would be some wind and coler than inside a room. Try next time. Tons of love, Baba.
Reminds me of the modern version from Robert Palmer (With Power Station):
"Some like it hot and some sweat when the heat is on"
Gotta love Wikipedia and youtube.
Hang in there Christina. And don't hurt anyone!!!

In the mornings the room is about 32 degrees. The kids have a thermometer for math class so we're tracking how hot it is. That, seems bearable, but in the afternoon it is really hot. Outside it is around 36 degrees and in our room slightly cooler. The evenings don't cool down too much, but enough to make us feel sane again. And it's just the beginning. It's supposed to get hotter! Ahhhh
