Spring is here, but it is not good for everyone

Hi everyone spring is here in Mongolia. The temperatures have risen to (-30 to -10 Celsius) & many of you would be happy for us & the Mongolians for the temperatures. However, this means that we will be getting more snow. Mongolian farmers have already lost over 1.5 million herding animals (horse, camel, sheep, goat) this year due to the cold/snow & the warmer temperatures will mean more will die. It may be more convent for us, but there is not enough money for the government to offer aid to the farmers. This is a case where convenience comes at a greater cost than personal comfort. Please pray for Mongolian herders this spring.
