From an Old Friend:
October 1, 2011
Dear Bill and Bev and all, you all amazed me, you were so generous in time, encouragement, and muscle! With the retreats and everything else going on for 1st Baptist, I thought no one could help me. Even before, there was that marvelous going-away party! I got to say my goodbyes to so many friends!
Dear God our Savior, pour out Your greatest blessings, please, on everyone's hearts! I surely can't ever "pay forward" to Your mercies for me! Amen and amen. I love you all!
A special blessing to Amanda and Jack and their junior high class: Dig into God's Word, the Bible, and spread the Good News about the real WORD, Jesus, at school, too. I dare you!
Sorry to be so slow to say thank-you. We found the battery-charger for the computer in one of the many boxes still unopened just yesterday evening. And the telephone is now working. Praise God! And bless the folks who helped as well. (And now I am spending a whole hour trying to get this letter to all of you! I'm showing my incompetency on the computer).
Love, Rita
P.S. Rob and Evelyn and Acacia say "Hi!" They've been helping me every day for hours. There's quite a bit to unpack still ... but there is daylight ahead! Love to you all!
P.P.S. My mailing address is P.O. Box 875, Napavine, WA 98565. My email address is: rsenn1@frontiernet.net. My street address is: 223 Mitchell Lane, Napavine, WA 98565.
