Today ending the 4 days of dental work for Alex and Joseph. It is very different here then at home. The first day the dentist barely touched the boys teeth saying that one didn't like the needle and the other only wanted one tooth worked on at a time. I couldn't believe that the dentist and the translator couldn't see that dental work is really not an optional activity, that cavities do not heal themselves and that things will only get worse if we don't' deal with it now. But after all was said and finally done all dental work came to $170.00 (US) for all 4 days worth of work.
After the dentist our hosts arranged a day of fun for our family at a village about 35 minutes from the city. It was like a high end camp ground with a lake for fishing and one for swimming. It has a small zoo that was closed but the kids did see the camels, a bowling alley , and the highlight of everyone's day paintball. After lunch the kids played paintball for 2 hours. Alex, Joseph and Kevin had to go back to the Internate by 5:00 so Richard and our hosts brother drove them back and then returned. While they were gone we had BBQ- chicken and beef, alone with various salad vegetables and left overs from lunch. After dinner we ended the day with cookies, tea and coffee and a few praise songs from Josh. It was a wonderful day and much needed after our depressing week of no news. Tomorrow they are having communion at church and we are very excited about that.
