Sunday in Central America

We are at the church this morning with the dental clinic and VBS. Kyle, debbie, drew, stacey, Paige and I are with the dentist and the rest (tommy,wade, Vince, Aaron, Chloe, and jojo) are with the kids.

No monkeys this morning, but we had french toast for breakfast. We got around quicker today in order to set up by 8 o'clock.

There are about 35-40 people waiting to be seen with about 10 extractions. We've got our system down now, so it should go quicker today. We're rotating in and teaching Drew and Kyle so they can learn and help out when we get to the island. Stacey is our "triage" nurse and is very good getting all the patients sorted and organized. I can't report on VBS yet since I'm not there, but chloe and heather worked out a good program last night.

Speaking of heather ... Bart, heather, and Eden are doing great. We've seen bart every day and heather twice. Eden acts like she's been here forever. Nancy is good as well. You can tell she's happy to be with her family.

We've seen 6 already since I started this blog... One man just had 5 teeth pulled. I can't even imagine what its like to be missing that many all of a sudden. God is working. This is obviously a needed ministry. One little girl (about 4) left without treatment for a painful abscess - she was too scared to treat. Breaks your heart! Did you know GPBC helped pay for the dental system? Very good job! I love our people. I'll try and send some pictures.

VBS has about 20 kids - I've been told. Vince, bart, and Aaron got schooled in soccer and need chiropractic assistance now. They played in the downpour and are soaked. The little ones are making playdough things.

That's it for now. More later.
