As we kick off September here in Peru, we have been able to have a little fun celebrating little David’s birthday. We were also visited by the local clinic for our yearly dose of Flu Shots. While they were a little late, we are now set for the rest of the year. As you can see, some of us are not afraid of needles, while others are terrified. Franco took it like a champ while wearing one of Holly’s old New England Patriots shirts. We are all doing very well down here in Peru. Each day is filled with bible study, therapy, home school, exercise, homework, play time, sleep, then repeat.
We want to thank you all for your love and support of Pat’s Place. None of these families would have a chance to survive and thrive if it was not for you. This year has been a crazy one for sure, and we cannot wait to get down to Peru to spend time with our Pat’s Place families. As of right now, Alex has a trip in October to go and build our first computer lab. Thank you to Smooth Stone Ministries and Tim Koenning for covering the cost of the computer lab. We are going to take the time to build out the computer lab so that everyone will have a place to study, learn, print, or read while doing their daily school work.
