Tarapoto, Peru - Clinic Wed. 7-21-10

¡Hola! from Tarapoto, Peru.  What a beautiful day it was again today as temperatures have been abnormally cool. We were greeted today, our second day at the work site, by 100-150 people (some returning from yesterday and many new ones). Our day began with greeting, singing, & praising.  We completed approximately 75 patients and have about that many more for tomorrow.  We have shared laughter, tears, prayers and a part of ourselves.  Our dentist (Cathy) was on site today to perform dental checks, answered inquiries, extracted several teeth, showed children how to properly brush their teeth and stressed how important dental hygiene is.  Toothbrushes and toothpaste were handed out. We have experienced many new things , met many new friends, and learned much about Peruvian culture.We all give thanks for the opportunity to serve God in this capacity. We pray that our words and works are as much of a blessing to the Peruvian people as it is to us.  We look forward to our day in service tomorrow. Blessings and love to all of you who have kept us is your thoughts and prayers.  Kathy Vaughan
