Update

A GREAT BIG THANK YOU!!!!

Thank you to everyone who braved the cold weather and attended the work day at the house site today. The clean up went very well. Most of the first floor has been cleaned up. There is some clean up yet to be done on the second floor. One of the happy surprises - Carrie's wedding rings were found!!!!

Chester, his brother, Simon, and his dad, Kent hope to complete the clean up on Monday. On Thursday, Dan Boman is scheduled to pull down the remaining structure, so it can be disposed of. Thank you again to all who helped and a big thank you to Letha and her family for the delicious hot meal that was served to the workers.

A huge thank you to everyone who has been so kind, generous and loving during this time of need. It is amazing to see how quickly Chester and Carrie have been able to "pick up the pieces" and begin again. This could not have happened if they had not received such generous help from family, friends and neighbors in the community. We are all so very thankful and grateful.

Chester started back to work today and Carrie mentioned that she was able to cook her first "real meal" yesterday. We sincerely thank each one of your for your prayers. Please continue to lift them up as they face the challenges that lay ahead.

We have been asked to create a blog to update everyone on the needs that the Misener's have. Below is a list that Dad sent which mentions needs that they have, as well as things that already have been provided.

If you decide to provide an item, or help out with something, please mention it on the blog. Please do not try to call my parents (Robb and Cathy) or Letha. They have a lot of calls coming in, and this blog will be the most efficient way to get and give information.
