MISSIONARY ARTICLE

     In addition to all of the things on Cookson Hills' Christmas list that you brought to the church, $333 was given.  The missionary committee added $100 to that from the missionary fund.  When June and Nelson Stafford arrived at Cookson Hills with all you gave, the woman in the office there told June she looked like an angel. They had just had a family of children dropped off there and they had no Christmas gifts for them.  They had already given out all of the Christmas gifts they had so the woman asked June if they could use our $433 to buy those children Christmas gifts.  Thank you all for everything you gave and for making it possible for that family of children to receive Christmas presents !

     Ryan, Heidi, Hudson and Brooklyn Aikins presented their work in Manzanillo, Mexico Sunday evening, January 17.  The offering for them was $458.  Thank you !  I know Ryan and Heidi appreciate all the support you give them.  They were back in the states getting their Visas renewed and raising more support.  Ryan's blog is http://ryanaikins.blogspot.com
