TWO AMIGOS IN THE CLINIC

Wayne and Mike working side by side in the clinic

One of the most fun things we did while Mike and Linda were here was to work in the clinic. We saw 39 of the boys from Mi Casa Tio Juan. All but three of them need work. We figure with the over 350 children in the orphanage and all of the future and full time missionaries here we will be able to fill the schedule when the dentists start to come in January. Here are some pictures of our week:

Our first full time missionary....he brought the entire District
(It was the gringo...he had broken his retainer...but
two of the others needed dental work also)

One of my favorite pictures of the Tio Juan boys waiting
This group is between 8-10 years old

Another thing we are going to start doing is to go to the CCM (Guatemalan MTC) when new missionaries arrive to do a quick dental check. This way we will be able to take care of any teeth that could be potential problems while the missionary is serving. While Mike and Linda were here we went to the CCM for the first time and "previewed" 39 missionaries who had just reported. There were only 3 that needed any dental work. We are sure that this is a direct result of the brigadas...Wayne would ask them were they got their work and they would say when the American dentists came down. Next week there are 80 new missionaries coming....wish we had Mike and Linda here!!
