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
