In my last update, I told you we were on our way to Phoenix, right? Well, we arrived in Phoenix and discovered they were experiencing record-high temperatures. The closer we got to Phoenix, the more our air conditioner and refrigerators struggled to keep up. For the first time since beginning our deputation journey, we couldn’t get cool enough. By the time we arrived in Phoenix, it was 118 degrees outside and nearly 90 inside. It was ridiculous! I don’t remember ever being so hot. It was so bad that we had to bring our extra refrigerator/freezer (that we keep in one of the bays) inside to keep it from the penetrating rays of the sun. It didn’t help. We’re pretty sure it died that day as we haven’t been able to get it to work right since. Of course, we lost all the food that was in it, but at the time, that was the least of our worries. Our biggest concern was getting cooled off enough to sleep. It took some effort, especially since the nighttime low was 90 degrees. Good grief!
