today we went on our first clinic voyage. i got assigned/volunteered to work with the dentists and it was a blast! translating is really cool and getting to help people get their teeth pulled is also kind of interesting/completely and totally disgusting, the first guy we helped had 10 teeth pulled! pretty crazy. anyway, getting to be a part of something that can give people a better, happier, and less painful life is always really cool for me. at the same time, it was really sad to see kids so young have teeth pulled, and a few my age who had to have adult teeth removed because they lacked the necesary supplies to save the tooth or take care of it in the first place. im definitely looking forward to the next month and a half, it is already a great trip and i hope yall are all having as great of a summer as i am.
until later,
parker
p.s. taking pepto before going to bed turns your tounge into a brown chia pet! kinda scary if you dont know what is going on.
Hey,
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you are having a great time. Saw Mickie MacCammond today and told her of your being gone. I told her I channeled her when you left because her boys are out saving the world, jumping out of planes and putting out fires! I can be brave too!
Have fun, make good choices and take care of yourself...drink water, watch what you eat...blah blah blah
Talk to you again in a couple of days, (unless you have something really cool to share of course) I love reading the blog and knowing what you are up to. Tell Lisa and Raphael hola!
Love ya! Mom
