Dear Pat,
     You and Vernon certainly have been through a lot together;
but hang in there, and remember that the Lord has promised
not to put on us more than we can bear.  It's about time when
He's going to pour you out a blessing that you won't be able to
contain; and it will overflow to this entire fellowship!  Father in
Heaven, please be with Pat and Vernon right now, and help
them cope with the current situation.  Please remind them that
all things work together for good to them that love You, and are
the called according to Your purpose.  Give them the comfort
and peace they need at this time, and assure them that brighter
days are right ahead.  Help them to be thankful for all of Your
goodness, and to rejoice that they have each other.  I ask this in
the name and authority of Jesus.
David

Subject: Some prayer requests


Dear Loving EChurch Family,

I have a few prayer requests and some info to share with you.

First of all, I'll share the info with you.

Last tuesday, our lawyer came over for coffee and to talk and to have 
us sign some papers.

These were eviction papers for our renters, Gary and Janet Aplan.

We talked about them, and he red them to us, and we both signed them 
and he noterized them.

They were delivered to them that day by the Sharriff.

It basically said they had to be out in 4 days unless they contested 
the letter.

Then, the florist delivered a beautiful plant to me from my loving Vernon.

Then, we went and got some hamburger in Iroquois at the meat locker, 
and then we went to Lake Preston to get some cheese at the cheese 
place, but they were closed, so then we went to lunch.

We saw Gary and Janet's truck in town, and Vernon said they followed 
us to Lake Preston. We had no idea they were going to Lake Preston.

You know, some times, you just run into people like that. They saw 
us, we know they did, but they did not speak or even look at us.

Well, the day went on, and on Thursday Gary came over and said they 
were trying to find a place to live in Lake Preston, and that they 
had packed, and that they were moving out.

Friday he called and  said he would try to get us some money.

Saturday he called and said they were moving to the low income 
housing in Lake Preston, and that the Catholic Priest here in town 
helpped them find a place.

Sunday, Vernon thought that Gary was home by himself and he went over 
to ask him when they would be out, so he could clean the house, and 
no one answered the door after he knocked several times, so he went 
on in. There he saw Janet and she said something snotty to Vernon. He 
asked her where Gary was, and she didn't answer, so he just left.

Later on that night, he saw that the kitchen lights were on, and this 
was around ten PM on Sunday night. He went over to the house, and 
went inside, and no one was there. He found the keys to the house, 
and he found the box of curtains that she was suppose to have hung 
up, and he found a bunch of notes with the curtains.

He came back over here to ourhouse and read the several pages of 
stuff she had written.

I will just say this, that they accused us of things we wouldn't 
think of doing, and one of them was spying on her, and Janet accused 
Vernon of following her to the little store one day in October. 
Vernon had gone over to the little store for Michael when he was 
here. He had no idea she was there, until he went in the store, and 
he saw her there. She also accused him of peaking in the garage 
window that goes into the house and watching her, and also she 
accused him of standing in the bathroom with her and watching her put 
on her contacts when she was naked. Oh, the stuff goes on and it is 
horrible. Of course, I know with out a doubt, that Vernon never did 
any of that stuff. She accused him of going into the house when they 
were gone. None of this is true at all. Oh, there were pages of 
stuff, and then on Monday afternoon, he found more notes with more 
accusations that were not true.

The house is filthy and there is some damage done.

Nothing was ever said about the money they owe us. They owe us now 
almost $2500.00 with this months rent and utilities up to yesterday.

Oh, another thing that she said that is that even the police and the 
ministers, and priest here in town thought that it was horrible that 
we evicted them in the cold weather. And of course, did we really 
know it was going to be cold when that letter was written and 
delivered to them? We had no idea what the weather was going to be.

We found out that no one ever said such a thing to them.

Then, because the cheese place was closed on Tuesday, Vernon went to 
Lake Preston on Wednesday, and he saw them. Here again, she accused 
him of following them. He did no such thing, as he didn't even know 
they were going to Lake Preston.

All these things that she said about Vernon really hurt me, because 
they are not true at all. One of the things that hurt me the most 
that she said, was that the reason why we survived the tornado was 
because we had "means" and that we were greedy. That really hurt me 
and I cried for a long time yesterday afternoon.

Our lawyer called yesterday afternoon to see if they had moved out of 
the house, and we told him they had moved out. We also told him about 
some of the notes, and that we would show them to him. He couldn't 
believe the things she wrote.

Vernon took all these notes over to our lawyer today, so when he gets 
a chance to read them, he will get in touch with us.

I don't ever want to see or hear their voices ever again. I know that 
they need prayer, so I will pray for them, but I am very angry with them.

Please pray for me, as some times I can't stop thinking about all the 
horrible stuff she wrote, and I just cry because it hurts me so much.

I've been praying to God and asking for peace about this situation.

We are not going to sue them for slander, unless our lawyer feels we 
should, but I don't think he will want us to do that, so we won't. 
God will punish them.

We do want our money what is owed to us, though, but we'll probably 
never see it.

Gary has had 3 jobs in less than a year, only since he lived in the 
rental house.

We know for a fact he has been talking about us, because he is 
working for Wendell Schubloom, who messed up the cement job we had 
done in Manchester in 1996.

Oh, I feel so horrible and I know deep down in my heart, and God 
knows that none of the stuff that Janet said is true. It hurts me so very much.

Please pray for Vernon and I. He has been so very sweet and loving, 
and I don't know what I would do without my loving Vernon. I thank 
God ever day for him and his devotion and his truthfullness to me.

Thank you very much for praying.

Love you all,
Pat Ferguson
