Added visuals from Steve!

Hello again from C America. We had a full day. After lunch at the church, we saw more patients - some good, some bad. We trained Tommy and Stacey as assistants so we now have about half of us ready to go help Dentist Bob. Pray that we'll have enough of the accessories once we're out on the islands. Stuff like water, paper towels, latex gloves, electricity (one island has a generator - hopefully - and we don't know about the other), soap,etc. I'm sure every single person on those islands will show up.

After seeing everyone for the day, the Americans took a quick trip up a mountain to a very scenic waterfall. Nice! Except for Wade in a speedo - that wasn't so good. The combination of work and relaxation is a good way to stay energized. Driving back, we (I) got stuck in the same place Wade did on the first day. We were able to back it down and try again and made it no problem (just ask Debbie and Paige). At the top of the section, we almost hit Wade and Aaron standing in the road. They were being terrorized by a bat and they couldn't get in the truck. They each had big sticks, but shrieked like babies - Wade called it a war cry.

Tomorrow we leave for the islands a day early. We're praying it all goes smoothly with the clinic and that there will be more specific needs we can meet. I'm sure there will be needs. But we know who can provide ...

We may be out of touch for a couple of days. We'll be in mosquito nets and tents. Fun! Really!

As we said in Russia ... "Finish strong". Everyone say it with me ...

Till next time.
Steven
