We were once again privileged to have Dr. Larry Payne and Dr. Brett DiSalle here to put on a H2H dental clinic. This year the clinic was held here at the team house. We focused on Transition kids and graduates as well as some kids from Rosiori. This is always a different kind of ministry for me, as I fill the role of dental assistant and translator for the week. In addition to the dental clinic we had 15 other team members here do a Vacation Bible School in Rosiori, Peris and Voluntari. It was a busy week!!

Ruthie came to the dentist for the first time. Mommy had to sit in the chair with her, but she was able to be brave and get her one cavity filled.
Dr. Larry and I in action!
One of the most important jobs of the week---holding someone's hand!
If you spend must time with me (have sat through my orientation), you know that I don't put much importance in numbers defining success of ministry. But, dental week is a special week, and here were our numbers: 69 patients, 1 bridge, 1 crown, 10 sealants, 142 filings, and 62 extractions.
Thank you God for blessing the work of our hands!
