today was great! the dental team got here at about 9 and they brought a ton of people. the dentist's office was an old rv that has been converted into an office with two dentist chairs and all the tools and stuff. it was awesome! the kids did great and most of them were really proud to show off their clean teeth. only a few kids had to be anesthetized, which is always good.

one of the guys who came played guitar and he and sergio hit it off...they jammed all day. a lot of mexican women were with the dental team as well and they were great with the kids - they played with them all day long. i wasn't quite sure what to do with myself! it was really good, though, i got to work with kids that i don't usually have the chance to be with.

i finally met jan, who i've been talking to ever since i sent that first email to ted and renie way back in october. it was great to meet her, and i'm looking forward to talking to her more at the staff retreat in a week. becky and i are taking a bus down to san vincente to meet up with the rest of the mexmed staf for a couple days.

eymi puked on me after lunch, and the first day i was here nay nay peed on me. i'm waiting for someone to somehow get poop on me to complete the triangle. ha!

before the dental team left, one of the doctors brought out his guitar and we sang some songs in spanish and english. the boys wanted todopoderoso, and teddy sang it at the top of his lungs. the ladies asked for nina de tus ojos because the sisters love that song. they REALLY love it. they smiled through the whole thing and chely laughed when i sang it to her at dinner. i'm sure it's because of my amazing voice...
it was so cool to sing with the ladies and have all of the kids together, and all of them so happy. i felt like a part of something so much bigger than just me. i hope we have more moments like that!
