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 6:10In His grace,
Victor and Sonia Mayoral

What an awesome first mission trip for me and my 3 girls. Victor and Sonia are an amazing couple and they are great servants of our Lord. La Pasada ia a beautiful place and I hope to come back again next year and serve the people of Mexico. Thank you, Victor and Sonia, for all you do to serve our God and enable others to do the same. God Bless you and La Pasada !
