Quick UP-DATE for Ya'll

Hey Everyone,

Life in the fast lane is just that FAST!!! We hit the ground running when we got to Stockton!!!! We have been here for a week and half and everyday we are busy busy busy or about our Father's Business. We have mailed in some paperwork so that we can officially have a Corporation "Supplying Needs" We have met with our Bishop who helps churches and groups start a non-profit 501 (c) 3 Corporation. It is a lot more work than I had ever dreamed but God is helping us through every day as we do the paper work and all of it's challenges.

We took our trucker's written California driving test to be a California Residents and passed. Both Joel and I had to take 4 tests each to get our Class B California Trucker's license. Praise God we passed on the first time.

Joel and I have been trying to get as much involved with the church as possible. And we are excited what the Lord wants to do with us there.

Because of our living arrangements as of now we go out and eat Subway Lunch and Dinner. I love it and hope this phase doesn't end too soon. Those 5 dollar foot longs are off the hook!!! Some times (once in a while) we will have pizza or a burger just to break up the routine but all in all it is those 5 dollar foot longs!!!

Yesterday God blessed us with an interaction at the Laundry Mat. It was the first time ever for me to go to a Laundry Mat and I was nervous. We accidently put our clothes into the most expensive washing machine. 6 dollars a load we later found they had washer machines for 1.50 a load. Joel left to do some work at the library and I stayed back waiting for the clothes. I read my bible while I waited and the owner's son came up to me and asked me what Church I went to. I told him Victory in Praise. We started a conversation and He asked where Joel worked and I got to tell him that God sent us to Stockton California and we stepped out in Faith to start a ministry to help churches and other Christian ministries. He was excited and asked if he could give us a donation. I said yes. He came back with two garbage bags of clothes and said I could come every week and pick up clothes from him!!! What a blessing I was so excited!!!

I talked to Joel and asked where we should give the clothes to or who to talk to in our church about giving out clothes and Joel said that this Saturday at our Church VICTORY IN PRAISE they are having a clothes give out for the first time!!! Praise God!!! Isn't He so awesome! I am so excited.

So that is about it from us. We love you so much. Please pray for us as we continue to step out in Faith and Trust in our God to supply all our needs as well as help us get His Ministry started "Supplying Needs"

God Bless,
The Butlers
