Missionaries in the Clinic....Three Stories

This past week we saw 22 missionaries in the clinic. It was a great week. We were able to take care of 13 that are currently at the CCM and are going to their missions next Tuesday. A funny thing did happen however. One of the hermanas who we had come got there and Wayne looked at her teeth. He said to me...."I don't see anything that needs to be done." I went over, researched, and realized that I had marked her companion to have her work done, but wrote down the other missionary's name. She was so excited that she didn't need any work....and we saw her companion the next day.

but her companion came the next day!!

We had three Elders come from the CCM who were adorable. They all wanted to brush their teeth before Elder "T" checked them. We got a photo of them brushing their teeth at the sinks. A couple of them had received limited care before their mission. This clinic is going to be such a blessing to the Church and these missionaries.

We also had a great surprise. Elder Fisher came to check and see if he had any problems. He is serving in the Guatemala City Central Mission with President and Hermana Baldwin. (also from Chandler) He just wanted to be sure...thought that he had a cavity. After checking and realizing that all was well, he and Wayne got talking. SMALL WORLD!!! He is from Chandler, AZ and is best friends with BRETT RIGGS (Rusty's nephew). Brett has just left for his mission in Dallas Spanish speaking. He is an adopted member of the Riggs clan and even worked for our son-in-law Rusty last year. We had a great visit with him. Wayne showed him family pictures....and he said...Uncle Rusty....we love meeting these missionaries.
