Dear Family and Friends;

Please be advised that I have moved. I received a call the other day from God, the Chief Architect and he informed me that my new room was completed.

You all know that I had been working on my residence, sending up my timber, packing up and getting ready to go. I knew my house needed some finishing touches and that the Chief Carpenter, Jesus Christ, had to inspect it and give me the final approval. On December 1, 2016 he let me know that my home was completed and that it was ok to move in. So, he told me to go ahead and change my address.

Well, my new home is finished and what a sight to behold! It is located in an exclusive estate area behind a beautiful pearly gate. Of course, you know that the streets are paved in Gold and every day is Sunday.just like you've been told. Trees of twelve manners of fruit grace my garden here and I can walk and talk with my Master with not a worry or care.

There is a peace here along with joy and happiness and no pain or heartache, no doctors needed, no discontentment, only sweet serenity. I can dine at the Master's bountiful table while listening to a heavenly choir and best of allMy heavenly Father is here with me in all His Glory and, oh yes, I have my own designers here who have fitted me with my very own robe and very own crown.

I could go on and on about my new home, but instead I am going to pray that you get to move here yourself one day.But before I go, let me give you my new address:

LaVonne Joyce Chamberlin

1012 Heavenly Circle Rm 1201
