Hola amigos, we’re back again for another update! Another day, another stellar breakfast, what more is there to say? Just kidding, we’ll give you the full update you’ve been yearning for. After our morning worship and quiet time, we headed to eat some delicious pancakes to energize us for the activities of the day. After a short travel, we arrived at another village and set up in a small church with a pretty blue cross on the front. The town was known as the “green village” because most of the houses are painted green. There were many great stories from the morning and afternoon, we wish we could include all of them. Some of us have a touch of PTSD from encounters with crying children today, and might even be more scared of the children than they are of us:-) A boy from yesterday who we were unable to treat completely was able to come back to the clinic today, and our amazing Dr. Claire (who will never stop receiving shoutouts) was able to get that tooth out!! We had some other kids who also came into the clinic today who Claire and some students were able to comfort and get treated so compassionately. Also, Griffin got his first extraction today, yay!! Optometry station was especially special today, as Natalie and Malia both got a chance to step away and get a turn at the evangelism station. Shoutout to Jennifer and Hannah to getting out of their comfort zones so selflessly, and stepping in for the Optometry students so they could get that chance. Speaking of evangelism, Bobby and Dr. McClenny and their teams today were able to lead an 80-year-old man to the Lord which was incredible to hear about. A very interesting update from today was the exciting power outage that occurred near the end of the afternoon due to heavy rainfall. Doing dentistry in the dark was a new venture. Who knew you could take out a few teeth with only loupes lights? The rainfall was a unique experience, and honestly a peaceful and refreshing way to end day 4. Now we are reenergized enough for some Catch Phrase tonight and our last day tomorrow!! Overall, it was a great day with the people in the village. It was truly amazing seeing the Lord move in ways that we will never forget. ` Over and out for today, Sarah Jordan and Halle
