The cultural hall as we started setting up
We spent Wednesday and Thursday setting up the dental clinic in a chapel in the Mixco area of Guatemala City. It is a beautiful building. They use the entire building for the dental clinic...the only area that isn't used for medical purposes is the chapel...and they show videos there and do hygiene instructions.

When we arrived at the chapel it was bare. It was unbelievable and exciting to see the transformation. The technicians were unbelievable. They wired over 30 dental stations...including a complete oral surgery center with 4 chairs for the surgeons. They even had their own recovery area. There were areas for medical exams along with a lab for the basic tests needed to fill out the missionary application forms. There was an area for diagnosis complete with digital x-rays so that they didn't need to develop the x-rays. It was absolutely amazing.
Great minds at work
Air compressors for all the units
It took two full days to get things ready for the dentists to arrive. We worked all day Wednesday and Thursday until about 7pm. But things were ready for the dentists to start work on Friday morning.
