Friends in the News
Milligan Valley Ward
When the Primary children of the Milligan Valley Ward, Eagar Arizona Stake, learned that a four-year-old boy in their stake was being treated for cancer, they wanted to do something to help him feel better. Each child made a quilt square, and with the help of a member of the Primary presidency, they made him a warm, soft flannel quilt.
