Dr. Sherwin and Dr. Iris

Yesterday was absolutely the best trip I have EVER had to a dentist... The Dentists were named Sherwin and his wife Iris.... Both are amazing people who love the Lord... They clean the teeth of lots of missionaries here as well as have their own ministry with children from Compassion International... Over 1000 kids they see....

You will see on Matt's video that the cost of the dentist over here is REALLY inexpensive...200 pesos... that's about $4.50..that is a special rate they give to missionaries... the regular rate is 400 pesos... which still is just shy of 10 dollars...

Below you'll see a video of me in the chair.... The doc. informed that I had a small cavity... I WAS DEVASTATED!!!!!! This was the first one in my entire 29.5 years.. The good news.. He said it was very small and did not need a filling as of yet... He said my immune system may take care of it with his help... Lets pray so...

In the video you will notice he is cleaning my teeth just like at home.... They kept apologizing for having to do it that way but there cleaning machine was down.... Who knew there was such a thing??? It apparently is some advanced technology that is really easy on those of us who hate that metal pic and scraper.

After the visit we hung out for about 30-40 minutes there in the office.... These 2 dentists are amazing followers of Jesus... It was a very encouraging morning!
