Hello Everyone, before we jump into the general updates and pictures we all love to see, I wanted to let you know that we are looking for your help. Pat’s Place is entering its 15th year of service. Over the Past 5 years, we have been able to make some amazing and very needed updates to the house. We want to make 2021 a year to remember by finishing off the rest of the house by updating last remaining items. Below is the list of items we are looking to replace or add to the house. Please note that the Van is on the list because it is something that we are in need of. We currently do not have any private transportation for our families. While it is not the most important, if there is anyone out there that is willing to help us get a 18 passenger van, we will not turn it down.
The past couple of months have been very busy at Pat’s Place. While Peru is not on a major lock down anymore, we are keeping the outings from the house to a minimum right now to keep our families safe. The computer lab we installed in December is in full use all day long. Between the kids that have classes in the morning and then the kids that have classes in the afternoon, lab is in full use all the time.
We had Laura come to the United States in April to have a little break after a year of not being able to Leave Peru, and being on the job 24x7 for a year. During the Month of April we were able to spend time in Georgia, Texas, and Alabama. We did a lot of driving on this trip, and we all had a lot of fun. This was Laura’s first 3000 Kilometer (round Trip) drive to Texas. While in Texas, my family and Laura spoke at The Prayer Room Church, road horses, the ladies had a little spa time, and spent a lot of time relaxing for 6 days. After that, we had an amazing dinner with our Briarwood Church family in Birmingham, Alabama. Although it was a quick couple hours, it was great catching up with everyone in Alabama.
Here is an updated picture of our families. We want to say thank you to all of our sponsors, families, missionaries, and everyone that helps Pat’s Place run every single day. Without you, this home would not be possible, and these families would have no place to go. Thank You from all of us at Amor Real for helping us have a place Where Families Matter.
