Hello,


I hope everyone is doing well today. I know it’s not here yet but Spring is right around the corner.

I went to the doctor today and he told me to come back in 3 months! So that is good news. I want to thank all of you for your prayers.

I wanted to thank the Youth of BOCC (and their sponsors) for putting on the dinner for Valentine’s Day.

The food was great and it was good to share a meal with everyone.

Also I want to thank everyone who donated money to help the people harmed by the recent earthquake in Haiti, the Youth raised $200 at the dinner and the board voted to match that amount.

So $400 was sent to IDES for Haiti Earthquake relief!!

This is a great way for us to help those who need it so much.

IDES collects money and sends it to different missionaries around the world to help with various disasters and emergencies.

You can read more about IDES here
