Tampico

At the end of June, David had the opportunity to go to Tampico, Mexico for a week to do dental work. He had the time of his life and got some really good experience. We just got these pictures from the Tanner's (Thank You!!) Here are some of the highlights...I am not going to put descriptions on any of them because I don't know what they are of and David isn't here to narrate, so just pictures it is. He did say that he was so humbled by the way these people live. They literally live in a dump. They use the dump to find things to build their houses with, etc. The dental clinic was set up in a local elementary school there. David said that the people would get dressed up in their best clothes to get their dental work done. It is so sad that people have to live that way!! It makes me so grateful to have what I have and to live where I live.

I thought this little baby was so beautiful!

This picture(below) is really sweet...they brought little prizes to give to the little kids (jumpropes, sunglasses, etc.) and you can just see how happy it makes these kids!
What a cute girl!
And yes, my husband came home looking like a mexican...let me assure you that the facial hair didn't last more than 12 hours!!

What a great experience, something he will always remember helping people isn't that what it's all about. Great pics
