Fillings!

For the next month and a half, myself and the rest of the dental team will be training with a dentist from Pucallpa! We are going to be learning how to do fillings and getting a few more pointers on dentistry in general. We went today to meet with him, and I think we understood most of what was going on, but I’m pretty sure some things were lost in translation. Lol. It’ll work out. I think we are going to be working in schools in Pucallpa, checking kids’ teeth to see if they need fillings and/or extractions, and then the dentist will teach us how to do fillings by showing us on the kids that need fillings. It should be a very interesting month and a half. We will be going to Pucallpa five days a week for 2-3 hours in the morning.
It’s definitely gotten a lot colder down here since the rainy season started. Being cold at night is a new sensation that I haven’t felt for a while, it’s kind of nice.  Jenessa and Hanna went to Lima today to get Hanna’s passport, yay! They’re traveling with an SM from Southern who is working in Lima and just came down over the holiday to visit us. Hopefully everything goes smoothly for Hanna! Please continue to keep us in your prayers!
