Hard Work = Steak Dinner by David White

    Today was another incredible day in Cochabamba Bolivia. Let me re-phrase that.... Today was an incredibly long day in Bolivia. This morning, everyone was told to be out of bed at 6:00 AM this morning to begin our day. We all ate as many eggs and toast as we could, so we would be ready to face our first and biggest task.
    Today was the day when anyone in the community could come and hear about Jesus, receive medical care, and receive dental care. Many of us got to be "dental assistants" or "medical assistants" but most of the time we were entertaining the kids with music, balloon animals, and of course FÚTBOL. The experience of seeing the condition that many people were in brought sadness and gratitude. We are so lucky to have the care and medicine available to us... wow. Some people may even be classified as dentists now, because they got to pull a few teeth.




    We then had a VBS activity for a kids club a few minutes away from the clinic where music, games, the gospel, and crafts were shared with the children. This incredible day full of hard work finally came to an end after cleaning up the clinic and sharing laughs.




We now are at the house preparing for an incredible steak dinner in Bolivia with all the team the workers and the Holman family. Dominic and I were to hungry so we hustled down the Tienda to grab a coke and some wafers.


    Shout out to Mrs. P! You're such a blessing, and I love you so much! <3
    I can't wait to see you Mom and Dad and Sarah and Toph, I miss you guys a lot and I love you!!! I'm doing great, I just broke a couple fingers and toes [Linzy insert: This is NOT true. No broken bones and no injuries!]. ;) Christopher you better be there to pick me up.
