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!!!!
Love you all!
In Him,
Victor & Sonia
