Another week done at the dental office!

Visiting the baby creche! About 12-15 babies live here. Not sure about all the stories for the babies. But they either don't have parents, were abandoned or their parents could be in jail. They were so precious! Pray for these sweet children that God will provide for them in their lives.
 
 


My sweet friend and Co-worker Bene and I! :)


Finally I was able to see a dental screening! What does this mean? Well... Dental gets their patients through 2 screening days a week! Several hundred people are always waiting on Mondays and Thursday for our team leader to choose the patients we can help for the next few days. It's a hard job.. We wish we could help every single person that lines up. A lot are in pain.. Or have MANY broken teeth. Some have swollen faces. Those are the first ones taken because the problem is serious if their face is swollen. Last week was the first time I went out to screening. Not sure if I'll get a chance to see it again before I go home. Please pray for our team leader as he is out during the screening days. He asks for God's help to lead him to the patients that need us the most.




This is a photo of the dental clinic! I work here! Monday- Friday! And I LOVE it!  By the way.. Progress with my French! I can now ask more questions and understand more dental French. :D



Our dental team all dressed up ready to go out to eat Chinese food! Our two dentists treated us to a lovely dinner on Wednesday night! We had the whole restaurant pretty much to ourselves. Got up and sang out favorite morning devotion songs and had a lovely time!

 
So, obviously I'm loving my job and I truly feel needed here.
I've decided to start praying already about returning to the ship for a few months longer than 2... If God would like me to return I know all will work out in that direction. There are many things that would have to happen to make it possible..If you feel like joining me in praying about future decisions please do! I love and miss my family and friends at home.. But I'm willing to be where God leads me.
