Hello from the Dominican Republic!
We all arrived safely with all our luggage without a hiccup yesterday – praise God! Today was our first full day at SCORE! We began the day attending a local church in the morning, with many of us experiencing our first service in complete Spanish. After church, we had some downtime, and a group of girls got together to bond and make bracelets. We ate lunch around noon, and then walked next door to the SCORE’s medical clinic to practice setting up the mobile dental chairs for our first day of clinic tomorrow. Our puzzle skills were put to use, considering these chairs were made out of huge plastic puzzle pieces. Shortly after this, we enjoyed the rest of the day at the beach! We practiced our Spanish by repeating, “No tengo dinero (no money)” and “No gracias (no thank you)” to all the beach vendors. We got back from the beach around 6 o’clock, ate dinner, and then attended a worship service led by Morgan and Kelsey. Four of our teammates, Claire, Elizabeth Anne, Brigitte, and Daniel shared their testimonies, and then we reviewed clinic flow for tomorrow. We then split up into our devotional groups and participated in our first Bible study of the week. We discussed Ephesians 4:10-20 and set our minds on unifying the body of Christ this week. We are now currently by the pool in SCORE practicing mandibular nerve blocks with plastic coffee stirrers before our long day in clinic tomorrow in a small village called Buena Vista. We’ll update the blog regularly as the week progresses. Thanks for keeping up with us! Adios!
