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!.
