CC Woodland and CC Florida

Hi Everyone.
Even though we have had several cancelation, we do praise the Lord for those groups that did come down, listened and obeyed the Spirit and serve the Lord here in Mexico.
I know that they also were blessed to have come down seeing first hand that it is safe to come down and serve the Lord here in Rosarito.

So we start off with C.C Woodland with Pastor Doug and his team. We took the group to visit and orphanage where they were ready to do their puppet show, play with the children,
feed them, and of course alot of love, hugs and kisses.
The next day victor took the guys to Hacienda Martin to help build tempory bathrooms for the Church services.

As the men were building bathroom, I took the all the girls and headed out to the women shelter for some cleaning. Making it ready for Marysol and Guille to move in. They did alot of dusting, cleaning bathroom, puttong on fresh sheets etc. They worked very hard. What a blessing. Thank you girls!!!

After a day of cleaning, they got ready for the next day as they prepared themselves for the outreach at . There the group again did their wonderful, funny puppet show, which not only did the children enjoy but the adults as well. They also did a powerful drama about how sin (enemy, pride, drugs etc ) seperates us from Jesus, but how Jesus is there always to reach out to us if we want it. It ended with the person finally realizing that she wanted Jesus and not a life of sin and so she reaches out to Him and Jesus, taking her sin to the cross, delievers her from a life that was headed to death not to a live of joy, peace, love and eternity with Jesus. The drama was so powerful and everyone was so attentive and I know that it made them really think about their life.

After the puppet show and drama, We did some worship songs and the Youth Pastor shared a message of hope in Jesus for all those around. We then were blessed to feed them, give them something to drink and give out clothing, shoes, blankets etc.

After a long day, we took the group to Manuels tacos. The guys were very excited. I didnt know why at first, but later found out that they were going to have taco eating contest. And sure enough they did. The winner was actually Pastor Doug with 14 tacos. After tacos we headed out to ice cream. Can you actually believe that they ate ice cream after that contest.

They last day here in Rosarito they helped us wash all the cars, bus etc., even my grandson Elijah had to help. Laster they packed got ready and left back to the U.S. We were blessed to have them come down and serve the Lord alongside us.

We then were also blessed with C.C Florida (5-18 thru 24) as they come down every year with they school. This year we were also blessed to have all of the parents come down except for one boy, whom I adopted for the week since he didnt bring his parents. We had a full, blessed week ahead for them as they visited 2 different orphanges and participated in an outreach.
At the orphange not only did they play, did crafts, and feed the children, but we had some of the youth help clean windows, the Kitchen, refrigerator as well and the men helped prepare the inside ceiling in the main room. What a blessing this was for the directors. They also helped continut to buld the temporary bathroom for the church at Hacienda San Martin.

On Friday, we took the group back to San Diego Airport and said our good-bye. They were a blessing to have come down and stay with us for a week serving the Lord together.
Thank you CC Florida.

CC Grace 4-24-2009

We continue our group report with CC Grace who came right after Florida left on the 24th. A small group but full of the Holy Spirit to serve, share and love.

We took them to an Orphanage in the morning where they played with the children for awhile; Then one brother from the group did a small bible study with the children, followed by a craft which they enjoyed while watching the group do a drama. Then we fed them food, drinks, desert. Making sure their tummies were full! A fun and wonderful visit with the children, boosted our energy as we got prepared for the outreach later on that day. But before heading for the outreach we went out for a little taco run.

After the taco stop, we headed out to Colonia for the outreach. It was nice to go back at this Colonia, since we have not been there for awhile, it was really nice to meet up with the people again. Seeing so many happy anxious kids, we got the games set up; ready to play and receive a small gift. As time went by, one of the brothers from the group again gave another message of hope and salvation though Jesus. Soon after the message we handed out physical food, clothing, shoes etc. Always a blessing to see how God provides!

After CC Grace left, Victor, Marysol, Guille and myself took a nice trip to San Vicente to check out, visit, get vision, insight, of how the ladies were running the women shelter "Casa del Pastor". So we meet up with Juanita(who is one of the wonderful ladies that takes care of the place), she gave us a tour, answered all the questions. Even though Marysol and Guille have a totally different vision for CCM's women shelter, It was a wonderful trip in which we got a better understanding and insight on how to run our women's shelter. The Ladies at San Vicente were so helpful and generous in giving up their time for us.

Our next group we received for a week was CC Plaouse Washington. A group of 12 which was lowered due to the fear of the swine flue. But for the rest of the group, the trip was a blessing. Do to the swine flue, the goverment was not allowing us to gather in public places so we were not able to do outreaches, however we did have several trips at different orphanages, ministering to the childdren, playing and loving on them.

We also went out to the Mens Decipleship home at Valle de Guadalupe where Jaime is the director there. The group had a wonderful fellowship with the men there, encouraging them, feeding them spiritually as well as physically and even played volleyball with them. The group also gave out personal hygiene packages to the men which was a blessing for them. it was a really nice time to go out there and see how these men are growing in the Lord.

CC Langley (Vancouver, Canada)

Hi everyone.
This is the third year that we have been blessed to have with us Calvary Chapel Langley (Vancouver, Canada) with us in Mexico. Pastor Brent Smith brought down his family (wife Michelle, 3 boys and his daughter) as well as another couple with their children, and two other boys. We picked them up in San Diego on Monday, took them to Costco to buy their supplies and headed back to Rosarito. We started their trip on Tuesday to an orphanage in La Gloria called "Alcanzando la Vision." This orahange has 55 children and all sooooo adorable and lovable. The group did face painting, crafts, played games and soccer with them, fed them spagetti, fruit, and drinks. Our goal is to make sure that all the children are full in their tummies and sure enough they were. The children from the orphanage even did a drama for the group which blessed everyone as we watched. After the group handed out baggies of candies and a toy to each person. This bags were made by Cole's and Colton's teacher at school who wanted to bless the children in Mexico (thank you teacher). Of course, the children enjoyed getting these baggies of goodies. After we spend around 4-5 hours loving, playing and fellowshipping with these children, we prayed with them, said our good-byes and headed back home to LP.

The next day (Wendesday) we visited another orphanage in Buena Vista in Tijuana with 80 children this time. The children were so happy to see us, some of them ran to greet us as we started to get off the bus. We started off by spending time with the kids and loving them . The group brought down marbels and so again the adults and the children were playing and having fun. Actually the children from each orphange were teaching the group how they play marbels their way. After a time of fun, the children sat down to have lunch and again making sure their tummies were full. Later came the crafts, which they really enjoyed, a board game which the the director's wife, myself, and Alex who was from the group played.

It was fun. Later Cole and Colton gave out some more of the goodie bags that they brought down from their teacher, prayed, said our good-byes, a lot of kisses and we, sadly, had to go. The group were blessed as they had the opportunity to be with the chidlren.

Thursday was a half-day off day for them. The first half of the day they went to Los Volcanes to pass out invitations for the outreach that we were going to have on Friday. After the group went down to the boulevard for a time of shopping and buying gifts, souveniors, seeing the different Mexican culture, going to the beach and even eating delicious Autentic Mexican Food.

Friday was the day of the outeach in Los Volcanes and even though it was a very very cold day, so many people came out, Prase the Lord!!!. We set out games booth with gifts of toys and candies, face painting, food, worship, the message from Pastor Brent and praise the Lord that 10 people came forward to receive Jesus Christ. It was a great outreach.

CC Pomona Valley

Hi everyone,
Greetings from La Posada. Last weekend we hosted CC Pomona Valley with Pastor Jeff Steward, his wife, kids and about 45 of this sheep over at La Posada. The last time they came down was about a year ago, so it was nice to have them again. The group wanted to take advantage of having a full day of ministry so they wanted to visit an orpahange in the morning, spend time with they children, feed them, play with them, etc. and then after at 3:00 pm go out to a Colonia and to an outreach. So first they headed out to the orphanage, where they did spend many hours ministering, playing, doing dramas for the children, crafts, giving out bagged lunch for everyone, as well as goody bags, gifts. There was also some girls women who spent all the time cutting the kid's hair. Even the directors took time to cut their hair as well. It was a wonderful time for the children as well as the group.

After the orphange we headed out to the outreach at Colonia Alcatrazes. There the group set up a mini-festival with game booths. They also did dramas, songs, face paint, balloons, food (hamburgers for 250 people), bible study seperately for the adults, youth and children.etc. Many received bibles, prayer as many came forward to receive the Lord. It was a wonderful outreach, praise the Lord!
After the outreach Pastor Jeff took his group to Hacienda borego to eat a delicous mexican meal. After dinner, half of the group of Pomona Valley left Saturday night and half of the group stayed for Sunday.

CCM and CC Fullerton

Hola Everyone and Blessing to you,

In February we were blessed to have our own CCM (Adults) come over and do an outreach in a new Colonia "Los Caracoles." After one year having them serve at Colonia Hacienda San Martin, we believed it was time to move on to another Colonia. Yes, we were being blessed with making new friends, seeing and being able to meet some of the needs at Hacienda San Martin, but we believe that the Lord was giving all of us a new direction and confirmation to this new Colonia. So we were excited as we took CCM's group out to Los Caracoles for the first time and it was amazing. We were so blessed to see so many people come out to this outreach, men and women and of course so many childdren.

We set up game booths for all the children and they were having so much fun. The adults were so open at this Colonia to talk to and to share the word of God with and what a blessing to see so many men that came out. At the end of the outreach a local man with his horses was giving rides to several of the sisters in the group for free and so they had fun riding the horses. One young girl from the group shared her experience of how the Lord brought her out of hatred, anger, resentment as she was abused as a young girl by her step father to a life of peace, joy, love and forgiveness as she learned about God and received him as her Lord and savior. Her testimony was powerful and I observed of the adults were so attentive to hear her story. I know that this gave hope to adults that are going to rough situations.

We also were blessed to give out clothes to the adults as well as shoes to the youth. Several people came forward after the invitation was made. It was such a wonderful outreach. You truly felt the Spirit of God there. Praise the Lord!!!

We also had CC Fullerton over with a group of 18 people. We set up to do an outreach here a couple of block down from La Posada at an basketball court. The group was ready to do a puppet skit as well as a drama, crafts, balloons, as well as it was fun to teach a couple do worship songs in spanish for the outreach. We also did some game booths for the chlidren with alot of candy and prizes. The leader of the group (Manuel) preached the message. The group gave out 300 hot dogs, chips, and punch. We then were blessed to give out clothes and bags of rice and beans to the adults. It was a wonderful outreach. Many of the people who came with the group were first timers andd they shared how they heard about their previous trips but as they expierenced it themselves, they now know what a blessing it really is. To exprience it themselves was trully awsome and memorable. They praised God for allowing them to come down ans so do we.

October Recap

Good morning Pastor Pancho, and our family in Christ,

We left of with CCM (Oct 17-19th) as they left back home we received on the 19th CC Grass Valley. An adult w/ family group with 14 in all. This group brought down dental equipment to install in one of our children ministry room. A brother from their church had a dentist office and so he donated all the equipment to LP so that when Dentist doctors come down, they have the right equipment to work with. So we were blessed to have them install this equipment which also included the compressor, dentistry vacum, cabinets with sink. This took them around 4 days to install everything. They worked hard.

CCGass Valley also did an outreach here close to LP, at a local basketball court. We had games for the children, balloons, face painting, puppet show, worship, and one brother fixed the swings for that court so the children were really happy that they were able to use the swings again.

The group also went to visit an orpahange in La Gloria where the group played different games, loved on them, fed them, did a bible study, worship with them and even cut their hair!

CC Grass Valley left on Friday the 24th and we got ready for the big event (Womens retreat) with C. C Moreno Valley. As every year we are blessed to have this group come down and do their womens retreat in Spanish for the ladies in Mexico which included Rosarito, San Vicente etc. This year we had a smaller group of around 70-80 ladies. Some slept here at LP and we took a bus full to sleep at the womens shelter.

This year's theme was in Psalms 46:10 "Be still and know that I am God".

All of us ladies were not only blessed with the delicious food that was served, the fellowship with the ladies, but most importantly, the word of God, giving all of us ladies a reminder that God our refuge and strength and we just need to be still and know that and the theme was such a perfect timing especially in the difficult time that we are doing through in Mexico and we needed to be strengthened and reminded of this. There was also a time of prayer and counseling as well as crafts for the ladies. The ladies left in such a different spirit as when they all came down. More encouraged and strengthen and in love with Jesus. What a blessing.

After CC Moreno Valley we had CC Childrens Ministry come over for a one day turn around trip. Now as you all know Victor and I were not here, but we did hear that their trip was a blessing. They went to visit the children at the orphanage Tribe of Jesus. They fed them, played games and baseball with them, did a puppet show, crafts, worship and a bible study. They stood here from 11:00 - 5:00pm an all day visit with the children.

After the group went to go eat tacos and they returned back home to CCM.

God bless you all!

Novemeber 14th-21st, 2008

Hola everyone and blessings to you.

I was happy to have CCM Adults group come down on Saturday, November 15th and leave on Sunday the 16th. When they arrived we headed out to an orphnage in the canon of Zion in Tijuana.

CCM has adopted this orphange for Christmas so the group played with the children as some got information from them regarding the favorite color, toy, etc. Also one sister took pictures of every child and Stephanie made sure each child had the information they needed for a desired gift. After the group started cooking hamburgers and we served them lunch. After lunch the group did a small skit and bible story and a craft that went along with the bible story. The chldren enjoyed the crafts which were cross key chains.

Below is Alex from the orphnage. He is a special needs child. He is 12 years old and he had down syndrome. He is adorable, sweet, lovable and so speical to me. I praise God when I can spend time with him and the other children.

We left late from the orphanage and took the group to tacos at La Gloria where we all enjoyed ourselves with tacos and ice cream. Back at La Posada we had a time of worship, devotions and a time of sharing. It was a blessing to meet the new commers and new faces. We had a wonderful time.

On Sunday the group stood for bible studies and they were a blessing as they participated. Always a blessing to have our home church come down to serve. Victor, on the other hand had left, to Vizcaino on Friday, November 14th and came back 21st. He took a group of 11 to do a missions trip and to visit the other missionaries down there (Tacho, wife, kids, Gary and Keri, and the churches in the areas). Victor took the group to visit 5 different areas where they did outreaches and on each place that they visited they needed to sleep over because these places are not close to each other.

One of these places was a Island called Natividad. To get to this island they need to take 3 boats and there they did a outeach and Victor did the bible study for the local Christian church. They fed the people hot dogs which for them is like lobsters for us because they do not get alot of meat over to the island. So they mostly eat fish and lobsters and when the group brought down hot dogs the people where so happy and blessed that they were going to eat these hot dogs. Wow! The little food that we take for granted.

Baiha Tortuga was also another place where they went to minister to, encourageing the local Christian Pastors and the body of Christ and also doing an outreach for the local people in that area. After the outeach we all went to the Pastor Eber's house and they cooked us fish. We had a wonderful time of fellowship.

The group also went to the sea of Cortez to a place called San Bruno. Here they also did an outreach where there was about 300+ came to this event.We were blessed that at this town Biaha Tortugo, the local police department let us use the City Hall park to do this outreach event and alot of the police officers were attentive to see what we were doing and also we were blessed they got to hear God's word. The last time anyone has done an outreach at this town was 2 years ago.

Here we are doing our morning devotions at the church in San Bruno and After the outreach the Pastor invited us to his house where we cooked hamburgers that we brought down and again they were so happy to eat hamburgers because they have not eaten them for about 1 year, so this was a big treat for them. Here we are in front of the church.

Here is a place called San Ignacio where we took a picture next to the lake. We were headed out to Punta Abre ojos (a place where there are cabins next to the beach) where we stood there for a day and a half. We had fellowship with some brothers/sisters from Vizcaino. We had a time of fellowship, devotions, worship and food. A blessed time.

We got back home to LP on Friday. Every place that we went, the churches and pastors opened their homes to us and had food ready for us to eat and partake with them. The hospitality and love that they demostrated was overwelhming. It was a blessing!!!

CC Montebello & CC East Anaheim

Hello Everyone!
We pray that everyone is well and blessed. Here is the update on what has been happing here at LP.

We start of with our home church (CCM) coming down with the adult group and taking them to an orphanage to spend time with the kids, feed them, make crafts and love the children.

The children from the orphanage had a wonderful time with our church, but I know that our church were more blessed in being able to spend time with these precious children.

After spending time with the chidlren at the orphanage we all headed out to do an outreach at the Colonia Los Volcanes. The group prepared a bible study, crafts and games for the chidlren. We also had a group called "Efesis" who came down and played worship for us. They are a Christian group fro Tijuana who come down and love to serve our Lord. Everyone really enjoyed the music. After the wonderful worship and a awsome message that one of the brothers from our church did, we fed all of the people. We made sandwiches for everyone, chips and drinks.

We were also blessed with our church because they stood until Sunday after church service and so we had more Fellowship with them.

After having our group come down, we were also blessed to have Calvary Chapel Anaheim-Korean church over for the weekend 26-28th of September. They did an outreach event in Ensenada with their group of 25.

We then had CC East Anaheim over for the next weekend of October 3-5th, a group of 35 people. We took them to do an outreach at Colonia Morelos, at a local basketball court. We had a wonderful turn out of probably 200 adults with children. The group did a puppet show, crafts, played soccar ball and we again invited the worship group "Efesis" who blessed us with wonderful worship.

The next day we invited the group to stay for service and communion, which they did. After the service we had a potluck and we had wonderful fellowship. They left around 2:00pm on Sunday.

October 5-8, Victor went with some of the brothers from CCPasadena and LP to Vizcaino for the Pastor/Leaders Conference that Pastor Bill Weldon (Cornerstone, Napa) does every year.

The Pastors that participated in this year's conference was: Cornerstone, CC Pomona Valley, CC Santee, CC La Semilla, Genesis Upland, CC Oregon, and CC Shingle Spring and CC Aptos.

I was blessed to be able to take a couple of trailers full of clothing and supplies for the Pastors in the Baja California area and their churches. La Posada also donated a Surburban to a Pastor Benito from the coast of Bahia Tortuga. We came back on Friday blessed!

Update

Hi again and blessings to everyone!

After having CCM youth leave we got prepared for CC San Mateo and first timers, CC Fremont. They were to arrive on Sunday, which we waited, but because of the amount of supplies they had they were not allowed to come into Mexico. Some of the supplies were used bunkbeds with mattresses, bedroom furniture, dishes that were donated from a university, and a lot of clothes and shoes which were all in a big U-haul rental truck (not allowed to come in without a permit). So what happened was that they had to rent two 10x10 storages and put most of the supplies there and on Monday they came over.

So unfortunetly due to all off this and time that they came across on Monday as well as being very tired we lost about 1 1/2 day of ministering. But that was okay because we knew that God was in control and He allowed all of this to happen. So our week started on Tuesday :) We went to the orphanage all day and served food, made a craft with the children, played and loved them with hugs and kisses.

Wednesday the group wanted to go to a Christian Discipleship Center where there 22 men. The group had a bible study for them, served them food, some did testimonies for the men, they saw the animals and had time to fellowship with them. It was a blessing because this center was praying for mattresses that they needed and we found out and so we took them 12 mattresses that the group brought over. We are going to take the bunkbeds later. So praise God for their aswered prayer and for God provisions.

On September 12th - 14th we had three groups together (CC Orange, La Semilla and CC Pasadena) here at La Posada. We were busy but it was such a great blessing as everyone did something different.

Here at La Posada we had the group CC Pasadena over for their medical outreach which included a chiropractor, a massage therapist, nurses, a pediatric doctor, a general doctor, three dentists, a pharmacy and an area where they gave out hygene products. The group also did a concert throughout the day as well as fed everyone. There was also a puppet show, balloons and face painting for the children. We think there were about 300-400 people who came to see a doctor. Many people had their teeth pulled out, fillings, or teeth cleaning. This was such a blessing for the local community. Victor and I took advantage and also had out back adjusted and was seen by the message therapists.

La Semilla also was here and they participated in Colonia Hacienda, San Martin as the men put in kitchen cabinets in a house as well as blinds in all the windows. The women went to two orphanages with CC Oranage. The first orphanage they went to was City of Angeles and Tribu de Jesus as they fed the children in both orphanages. They also did a craft of painting white t-shirts which they reallly enjoyed.

As we are finishing up our summer season, we have been so blessed as we were able to serve our Lord along side our many friends from different churches. We were also blessed as we made a lot of new friends with the many groups that were first timers to La Posada.

Please continue to pray for us:
*** As we ask God for His vision in continual guidence with the groups.
*** For our Lord to continue to open doors of opportunity to serve Him and reach out the Mexican Community.
*** For the children in the orphanages and the people of Mexico, to open their heart to receive our Lord Jesus Christ.
*** (personal) For our children and grand children and for us.

Thank you and God Bless.

Rejoice in the Lord always, I will say it again: Rejoice!.
Phil 4:4-7

CC Harbor, Washington

Hi Everyone
This year so far, we have had the blessing of hosting six new groups to serve in Mexico and stay with us at La Psoada. One of the groups was CC Harbor, Washington. A group of 13 came down as we picked them up Monday, August 11th at the San Diego Airport. And as a new group, we are always excited to see the enthusiam, fire and readiness to serve our Lord.

Tuesday we took the group to and orphanage Tribu de Jesus and played with the children, hugged them, and loved on them.

I did a small bible study of the two fishes, five loaves and the awesomeness of God's provisions for his family. The children

did a craft with the group and they really enjoy it.

Wednesday the group stayed here at LP making more beds for the orphanage. So a busy day of work for the group, but much was accomplished. Praise God!!!

Thursday we headed out early to the Cumbuai Indians Reservation to do an outreach. It took us about 1.5- 2 hours to get there. We usually try to visit the Cumbuai Indians around 2-3 times a year, but this year this is our first trip. Going to the Cumbuai, you need to travel up, up and up into the mountains, but the site in beautiful and enjoyable. Going up to the Cumbuai, you dont pass any villages or towns so these people are very much in solitude. With that in mind, we always try to make sure to take food, clothing, shoes, blankets, personal hygene etc. Whatever our Lord provides.

So God blessed these people with a lot of food that Victor and I picked up from our church CC Montebello a week prior. We made food packagesfor each family which included: rice, beans, milk, tomatoe sause, spagetti sauce, hot sauce and items for the kitchen like detergent, soap and many other itmes. To those who help out at DoveTail ministries, thank you!!! Your time blesses so many.

At the outreach, the group did an drama, sang worship, gave a message and fed everyone. The menu included hot dogs, hamburgers, carne asada, tortillas, corn, cookies and drinks. Later we raffled five new bicyles which were donated and several soccer balls. We had fun doing the raffle and seeing the excited faces of the children's and they waited axiously to hear their number on their tickets and then winning. We took a picture of all who won the bicyles and the soccar balls.

Friday the group went to visit another orphanage called Agua Viva, which means living water. The group was blessed to have another opportunity to play with the children, do crafts with them, love them, fed them and hug them.

On Saturday we took the group to the airport, but before they wanted to stop at In-n-Out for lunch. Many groups don't have In-n-Out in their city so when they come down to San Diego, they know it's the place to go! The group left on Saturday with much joy and blessing from the Lord. We had a wonderful time with this group. God is good and His mercy endures forever!!! Hebrews 6:10

In His grace,
Victor and Sonia Mayoral

CC Valley, Las Vegas & Harvest Christian Fellowship, Riverside

Hi Everyone!

We were blessed to have with us a new group, Calvary Chapel Valley, Las Vegas. Even though there were only 13 of them (mostly college students with 2 high schoolers), they were all filled with readiness to serve our Lord.

The group served at the orphanage for the Tribe of Jesus and their new facility which they moved into 2 days prior to the group's arrival. So what a blessing and God's perfect timing to have this group come down and help with the needs of this orphanage.

Some of the group helped with organizing and putting things in place at the new facility, some folded a lot of clothes and helped put those in their new place. Some of the group did a vacation bible school (VBS) program with the children and some did preparation of food for the children while a couple of brothers performed electrical work and put on shade tarps for the children at their food area.

On Wednesday and Thursday, the group helped with the bunk bed project for this orphanage (Tribe of Jesus). They worked here at La Posada sanding, staining and cutting the wood to their particular size. These beds that are going to be built will be over 12-feet tall. The group helped us make 5 out of the 20 that are going to be made.

The group left on Friday morning. We were blessed to have them come down and the College and High school pastor is looking forward to going back and share the blessing that our Lord did through them and bring back a bigger group next year. This is a picture of the CC Valley, Las Vegas group.

On another note, Ana, Marysol's daughter had her 16th birthday here with us and so we invited here to dinner with the family. We had a wonderful time of fellowship.

We were also blessed to have our grandaughters visit us along with my niece and for the first time we had all three grandchildren together for one 1 week. So we took them to Peter Piper Pizza and we all had a fun time.

On Saturday we received Harvest Christian Fellowship, Riverside. They invited 3 different orphanages to the beach, so we took a big bus with one orphanage and we all headed out to a time of fun. The group had prepared activities with the kids while most of them went swimming, played ball, and worshipped. Everyone feasted on hot dogs, popcorn, fruit, and drinks. They departed back home on Sunday morning.

We were able to take our grandkids and niece to the beach with the group.

Here is Ana with Makayla. Here is Victor, Elijah, Celest, Makayla, and Michelle.

Me with Makayla and Elijah.

Our grandkids having fun with the sand! Sebastian also having fun with the group and kids!!!!!

At Sunday Service, Victor dedicated a baby and prayed for Javier and his family who now is moving on to dedicate his service at Hacienda San Martin where he will serve as a local missionary under La Semilla Ministries, Santa Ana, Pastor Gerson.

So with all of this we give all the glory to our Lord for such a wonderful week with the different groups and for allowing us to spend time with our grandkids. He is awsome!!!!

Galatians 6:9-10

Love you all!

In Him,

Victor & Sonia

CC Boston

GOOD MORNING,

We just had CC Boston leave us :( They left at 8:30 am on a really nice big bus. We had a wonderful time serving our Lord with them, busy, fruitful, fellowship and many blessings.

They arrived on Saturday and met up with Victor at Costco. While some of us were shopping for the week long trip (their food, outreaches, V.B.S and orphanage food) some of them headed to the boarder. As they crossed into Mexico, Daniel was waiting for them with the bus and took them back to LP. We did take about 2 hours shopping and you can imagine with a purchase of $1,800.00 dollars. They bought a lot!!! So finally Victor headed home with the rest of the group. Arriving LP we unloaded and headed out to take them to Tacos.

SUNDAY: After Pastor Scott did the service, we took the group and they headed to the beach, "La Mission". We stood there several hours while some went swimming, did horse back riding, hairs were braded, some ate cocos and some just got sun. Daniel drove the bus and Victor and I took the small motor home and actually I took a 1 hours nap, which felt soooo good as we had wonderful weather and a wonderful breeze coming into the motor home. In the evening, we went out into groups and passed out V.B.S flyers.

MONDAY: We started our Mission week with all day construction at Sergio's house. The group did drywall, texturing, painting, and reframing. Alot of progress was done. The group also did alot of playing with the children around the area.

TUESDAY: The V.B.S program began on Tuesday and lasted 3 days (Tuesday - Thursday). We had 4 different groups going on (bible study, crafts, music, and games) The children had so much fun and after lunch was served for everyone. Also while the V.B.S program was going on, the construction project was also going on from Monday - Thursday which a small group would rotate to go every day.

Also from Tuesday - Thursday we also had a small group do some painting here at LP, which was part of the front gates, the outside of La Posada building, all around and some cleaning. So everyone was made sure they were kept busy.

On Tuesday after the V.B.S , around 2:00pm we went to Valle de Guadalupe and visited the youth orphanage. We had fellowship with the youth there, some gave testimonies, Greg did a Bible message. Soccer games were going on and we made hamburgers, chips, corn and cupcakes for everyone. The group also did manicures and had messages for the girls as well as the leaders. They really enjoyed this. We left the orphanage around 7:00 pm and arrived back to LP around 9:00 pm. A wonderful full day with a lot of blessing!

THURSDAY: After V.B.S we took the group to a pass out flyers for the outreach on Friday to three different colonias (Col. Cumbres de Rosarito, Los Ramos, and Colina del Sol). So we made sure that the group covered a pretty big area fo the outreach. After passing out the flyers we took them to visit some chidlren at a orphanage in La Gloria. The group did alot of playing with them, we took different crafts to do with them and after we served them ice cream cones to everyone. The group did not want to leave, but the children at the orphanage had to get ready for church service.

FRIDAY: This was the day for the big outreach, but before we had the group do cleaning. So a lot of the guys washed the bus, motor home, and all the cars, while some did cleaning at the children ministry, and doing other chores around the place.

After at 11:30 we all headed out to the orphange and everyone got busy as we began the games boths, food preperation, face painting, and balloons. Then Greg did the bible and another sister did the Bible study for the children. After we handed out the food as well as the Lord provided clothes for everyone. WE had a wonderful turnout as I believe 400 people came out for this event. So Jessica, John and Derek left us and we were blessed to have them serve with us. They shared how the Lord taught the many things like patience, perseverance, servanthood, obedience and the love of Jesus. We also saw a spiritual growth in them.

Another blessed week from the Lord. Also Marysol and daughters have been a great blessig serving with us.

Love ya all,

Victor & Sonia
