The Dentist

So we had a visit from the Dentist at Octavia Waight yesterday. I was able to assist her in cleaning all of the residents teeth, dentures and remove some plaque. I have a new respect for Dental Hygenists and a very thankful heart for my dentist and healthy teeth. Thanks to my mother and father for paying for my healthy and expensive smile!! The dentist was very informative and Octavia Waight is very thankful to have her come several times a year.


I am trying to put a picture in this post but I'm not sure if I'm smart enough.

It's a picture of Me helping the dentist clean Hilda's teeth. Hilda is a resident whose family doesn't live locally. They paid for a small house to be built attached to the end of the porch at the center. It is such a blessing to get to know all of the residents. Dorothy is the nurse that goes to Octavia Waight three times a week and cares for the 29 residents along with a very capable 24hour staff. I'm enjoying to get to know each of them. They are helping me to brush up on my Spanish, and learn a little Creole as well. Dorothy and her husband were missionaries to Africa for the greater part of their lives and have retired to Belize where she still serves as a missionary nurse.

This is Dorothy with the Medical supplies that were provided for with donations from some of you back home. Thank you so much for blessing these people!!

This past Sunday Debie and I had a great time attending the anual local (don't be envious dad) airshow. Who would have thought I'd be going to the airshow in Belize.

This is me standing by a Belizian crop duster. All that good food Debie is cooking me is beginning to show. We had a great time and got to visit with some neighbors as well. I will have to write another post dedicated to the girls night we had last Saturday.

Here is a verse Debie and I came across in our devotions last week and I have been thinking on it often throughout the week.

Remember the word to Your
servant,
Upon which You have caused me
to hope.
Psalms 119:49

God has caused me to hope and I am so excited for what tomorrow may bring.

Prayer:

For me as I continue to adjust and that I may be and light and encouragement to the Octavia Waight staff.

That God would continue to open doors for ministry.
