What's going on with Patrick and Lindsey?

Well hello there!
Its been one busy two weeks for the Ottersons!
Patrick drove a vehicle ALL the way to Florida for the flying car tour. They needed a car to tow the flying car so Patrick and Cameron had a major road trip. All went well! Cameron being from New Zealand had never see the South.
He enjoyed Bluebell ice cream & Cracker Barrel for the first time.
Mean while back in California I worked my last week out at Starbucks and had a slumber party with Larissa (cam's fiance') staying with me.
After a week Patrick returned to meet brother John at the air port!
We had a great week showing him around San Diego.
We went to the world famous San Diego Zoo, the Wild Animal Park and all the amazing beaches near by.

As of this week July 26Th was our first day in full time ministry!
What does it look like in the office here?
Well we have lots of awesome planning to do for the upcoming events!
August 15-30Th over 200 youth are coming straight from the prayer room to Orange County. They call themselves the "The Circuit Riders." We are gathering with them and the local Church's and spreading out all over Orange County to love on people, pray, and to allow God to use us. I feel like God will do something beautiful.

Mid September Our ministry has the opportunity to volunteer service for a huge Microsoft convention in LA.
Microsoft gives the opportunity for non profit organizations to volunteer service for a donation in exchange.
We will be doing helping security, hostess & greeting etc..
Food and a hotel is provided for us they will be donating $4,000.00 to the ministry.
So that's a major blessing to us as we are just starting off.

Late September Ill be babysitting for a couple at our house church (dear friends of ours) in Cabo San Lacus Its their 10 year anniversary and they found it cheaper to buy a ticket for a friend to babysit than to hire a unknown babysitter.
Everything is provided! We are still praying Patrick will be able to join hopefully by using his dad's frequent flyer miles.

So its blessing all around!
If your willing to pray here are some prayer requests:

*We still need the remainder of our monthly support goal!
We have $555.00 a month (praise God!!)
We need the total of 2,000.00 a month!
our rent is $1,065.00 a month
Food and Gas are our only other expenses.
(We commute 30 minuets everyday.)
* We are looking and praying for a base/building in Orange County.
* Patrick and I want to sale his car and get a more efficient, dependable, spacious car for the two of us. I just sold my car to my mom so we will put that money together and get one that is best for the two of us.

All this to say we have faith in God's provision! He is always faithful and we thank you all for the love and support that encourages us to make this leap of faith. Its been an amazing journey drawing us closer to the heart of God. We will in return give his heart and share his love to the unloved and fullfill the great commision. Only by his Spirit and strength which gives us joy unspeakable.
Blessings to all!
