Update from the Legoh Family Hello again Pioneer, we just want to give you an update on how and where we are now. Today, we are starting to move into our temporary house.

We want to take this opportunity to thank you again for the gifts you sent us. All those items will be a reminder for us of your love. We are thankful for the gift cards and the
monetary donations, which helped ease the burden of worrying about how we will meet our immediate needs. To those who provided food for us, thank you, they were all delicious and comforting. Those who anonymously graced us with their generous gift, we are truly grateful. We hope to be able to pay it forward in God’s perfect timing.
