Once a teacher, always a teacher. I love to help the kids with their homework, especially math and English.
Nancy's son, Daniel (the first Pat's Place residents), came to visit us with his aunt. Nancy and Daniel still speak fondly and often of the many things they learned during their time here.
There's always a lot of laughs with Pastor Bruce in town!
Our kids learn the importance of helping out and being responsible. Sayra,7, is sewing her purse.
We've had frequent visits from our friend and sister in Christ, Dr. Rebeca, this month as a nasty flu bug made it's way through all the residents.
Luis and I enjoyed the benefits of our church fund raiser. Once a month we cook and sell food to help purchase the building.
My mom and I took Veronica and her children on a walk to the market. Outings almost always have a little benefit!
Yarayda, along with all the women in Pat's Place, learn to cook nutritious and economic food. It's delicious!
Lina is in her last days of pregnancy and boy has she grown!
We received many precious gifts this month from very generous people.

All children received fuzzy blankets from my sister and aunt.
One play pen was bought by a member of my mom's church, and Blanca's son donated his so we are now able to easily keep the little ones on the second and third floors.
My parents bought new shoes so Piero can now fill the uniform requirements.

The best gift we received were visits of encouragement and the knowledge that there are so many wonderful people out there praying for us!
