Day 8 and we only worked 8:00 a.m. to 9:15 p.m.
Would you believe if I said we are a tired bunch of missionaries? Today we treated 36 patients. Many had multiple extractions – an 11 year old had 4 teeth out, another 9 year old had 3 extractions with several fillings added in. These children were calm and pleasant during their long ordeals. This will be a very short entry as we are all ready to unwind and go to sleep. Tomorrow we will close up the clinic at 2:00 p.m. so we can clean up, inventory our expendable supplies, and start the packing process. At 4:00 p.m. we will all participate in the Tejeras feeding and then bring the storage footlockers back to “the ranch” for storage. A late dinner at 8:00 p.m. is planned.
As tired that we are, each of us has been uplifted with bringing beautiful smiles to so many of God's children in Quimistan.
Praying for you all that you will be filled with God's strength today.
