Day 2

Today we served in a little town called Los Casaves in

North Santo Domingo. The first day is always the hardest

and takes a while to get everyone used to everything. Our group

jumped right in and we were set up and running long before

we thought we would be. It was so special to see the strong

teamwork from the first minute we walked into the school we

were at until the last table and garbage bag was taken out at the

end. It was fantastic! In the end we were able to help

104 patients. We did cleanings, fillings, extractions, a

few root canals, and some bridges. It was a great day.

Our morning huddle. The word of the day was FRIENDSHIP

Justin comforting this little guy who was getting

extractions. His little tears are streaming down his face but

he was brave and got through it.

And lastly, Josie and her new little friend who she sat with

while she got an extraction and was scared to death. Josie held her

hand through the whole thing and it was honestly the sweetest thing

you have ever seen. Her dad is in the picture as well.
