OK, what next?

OK, we are still trying to get our utilities turned on.  We are waiting for some bids from electricians and plumbers.  Right now the bid to fix the water line is at $3300.  Not in the budget.  We will continue to look for options.

Joyanna's car died about a month ago.  We got Katie's old car running hoping it would last until after we move.  I towed it home today.  Not cool.  We need to find another car or truck now, maybe even one with air conditioning that works.

We may have a temporary place to stay until we get our utilities straightened out.  Starting Monday, I'm in a full out blitz to make this all happen.

Please pray.

Today I am going to order a city inspection of my electrical and water.  They were converted into two meters and now they are back into one (each... the water doesn't flow through the electric).  Anyway, we can't get our utilities turned on until we get through this and any improvements they require.

Please pray that this goes well, that our utilities will pass the inspections.  We need to get our utilities on this week so we can move in the next.

Always an adventure.  Thanks.

August Newsletter

Here is our August newsletter.  Click on it to enlarge.  Thanks for your love and support.

Sorry, wrong address. Duh.

Oops!  Not a good way to start a new ministry.  I used the wrong address on my support return envelopes. The correct address is:

Lee & Dana Trotter
Prescott Community Outreach
c/o Desperation Church
Box 259
Liberty, MO 64069

If you sent your support to the other address, it should be returned to you. You can either resend it or I will be sending out new envelopes with our August newsletter in the next week or so.

Sorry for the inconvenience.  I suspect there will be more surprises in store for us over the next few months.

Thanks,

Nostalgic

Got done with camp Saturday at noon and moved a load of stuff to the house and worked on installing a new breaker box.  Spent Sunday morning packing up some stuff and then enjoyed the Wizards vs. Manchester United game with the whole family (w/o Jeremy who was moving, bummer).

 I ran across a lot of old pictures when I was packing and had to take the time to look through them.  We've never been real good about taking pictures and not real good at organizing the ones we have.  I was overwhelmed by how blessed we have been over the years.  I am glad for every moment of my life, although some were hard as hell to get through.  God has been watching over us and I'm so thankful to Him for everything!

Now back to the task at hand.  It's week 8 at camp.  Only 3 more to go.  I suppose every spare moment in the evenings will be packing and getting all my dead vehicles running.  Then Sat and Sun will be back at the house.  My goal is to get the utilities on before we move.

Thanks for your prayers.  Stop by the house this weekend and bring your gloves and tools!  (or just stop by)
