The Patlan Family | Guatemala

Where do we even start…? This here is our family the Patlans.  Not our family in the common sense of being related by blood to one another, but by something stronger.  We’re connected to this family through a shared passion, conviction, and the desire to pursue God’s will.

Have you ever felt homesick for a place that isn’t your home?  This is how we feel about this small little piece of land in Guatemala & every single person that calls this place their home.

During our 8 day visit with Eagle’s Nest Orphanage back in January, the Patlan family made each person on our team feel like they were at home. The Patlans pretty much run everything that goes on at the orphanage, so needless to say their hands are pretty full, but they still made the time to connect with each of us and actually get to know us. We were extra excited when we got them to ourselves for this photo shoot, which we did pretty much in the driveway of Eagle’s Nest. (The scenery wasn’t too shabby either!)

Please pray for this family as often as you think of it. Not only are they extremely busy with raising a family and almost 50 kids at the orphanage, but they are choosing to sacrifice themselves daily in order to make it all work.
