Update on Keenan

Keenan surgery went well. A plate was put in to stabilize the neck. His leg is fractured, but in a place where it will not be cast. Now that the swelling has gone down in his face, they are not sure his nose is broken. The swelling in his brain has gone down. He was hit hard by this truck, and in my view, the Burnhams are experiencing miracles. If anyone deserves it, the Burnhams do. They are the salt of the earth. As long as I can remember they have gone about quietly doing good for all of us, and teaching their children to do the same. They are wonderful people. I really love them.

Prayers for the Burnhams

Our hearts and prayers are turned to the Burnham family. For those of you who have not heard, on Saturday morning, they stopped to help someone along the road, who had been in an accident, and Keenan was hit by a passing truck. He has, if I am correct, a broken neck, on which surgery was done last night to stabilized it, a broken leg, and head injuries, including a broken nose. He is in the Twin Falls hospital.

Sharing coupons...any interest?

I spent some time the last few days cutting coupons to take to the grocery store. Many of the coupons in the paper I do not need or will not use...diapers, etc. I was wondering if there was a way that those of us who clip coupons could deposit them in a box or something each week so people could take them. Any ideas? Any interest? I bought just a few items today, but saved over $11.00. I was excited. Sarah coupons big time. I will always only dabble. Libby knows someone in Twin who knows a lot about couponing in Twin. She might be persuaded to ask her to do a class for us. If you'd like to have one, call Libby or me.

Thanks!

Thank you to all who came and helped at the soup kitchen on Wednesday. It's a busy time of year, and I realize it was a sacrifice. I kept thinking, "Inasmuch as ye have done it unto the least of these..." The soup kitchen is a much needed part of our community and your help was important.

Baptism

Sisters,
The Dudley's are a family that moved into our ward recently. They have 4 children and the oldest, Savanah, is getting baptized Saturday at 6:30. We are inviting anyone in the ward who can, to come support the family. It is a stake baptism but there is only one other person getting baptized.

Additional Soup Kitchen Help

We need a couple of sisters to help prepare the main dish for the dinner at the soup kitchen on Wednesday. We will be doing that at 10:00 a.m. It will entail browning chicken parts and making sauce. If you could do this please call or email Toni ASAP. Thanks!
