And those children were so precious - and so good. |
Even though Dr. Bob wasn't able to go on the trip, Rachel and I were really interested in being a part of this and decided to get on board. |
It was just so hot, and you had these kids you knew were hungry. So we gave our lunches away. |
People didn't seem scared. They were just very curious. |
Still, Bubba never seemed to lose his cool. He was amazing. |
These kids were so bright and mature. They had been hand picked by their teachers and were such a help to us. |
We prayed over teeth. We really did. The services also gave us a time of reflection each evening, which helped us a lot. |
We pulled multiple teeth on so many patients, probably an average of three to six extractions per patient - and these were surgical extractions. |
We were told the children would cherish even one or two crayons to draw with. We had church members bringing us boxes and boxes of crayons to take along with us. |
We weren't exactly fluent, but it did help in communicating with the patients. Thank goodness we had translators, though. |
