It has been a great week at Pat’s Place. Spending time with our families is always the highlight of the trip. During this trip I was able to fix a few things around the house as well as spend some quality time with my kiddos. We had a couple issues with the computers, Wi-Fi, printers, doors, windows, and a couple minor things in some of the rooms. While Laura and Pamela are here running the house, I was able to be the handy man which is very needed. It is a full time job for sure as something would happen each day. Sometimes before I would leave a room, Pamela would say, Alexcito, can you fix this or that. I want to say thank you to all our Sponsors for making everything we do here possible.
Here is a great picture of our kids in the Computer Lab that we installed in December. This lab has been such a blessing to them as they have been able to do all of their school work in here. Pamela is doing a wonderful job with teaching them, and helping them through out the day. This is a full time job, and she works 10 hours a day here at the house. We are blessed to have her as their teacher. Not only is she helping them with their school work, but she also helps them with their spiritual and mental health. Having Pamela focus on the kids, allows Laura the time to run the house, take care of the women’s needs and their mental health without having to worry about the kids.
For my last night here, We had dinner brought in from a local restaurant near the house. Everyone had a great time, and they all cleared their plates. The kids can really eat. We think that our kids in America are hungry, these kids act like this is their last meal and tomorrow is not coming. They are truly taking the scripture that says we are not promised tomorrow to heart (James 4:13-15).
