LETTERS AND CARDS FOR BETHANY: We have discovered that it is nearly impossible to get mail to Bethany in her new location. We would love to bring letters and notes to her when we visit her in July. Additionally, her birthday is in August, and we would love to leave birthday cards with her “family” there to be given to her on her birthday. If you would like to send any letters, notes, or cards, please place them in box #10 by the end of June. Lord willing, we will leave July 5 to visit her. Thank you, Bethel family! -Ed & Julie
