Outside the dental clinic

It is now early Friday morning. Thursday was a busy day as the dental clinic moved to location about 30 minutes outside of Mafraq traveling west towards the border with Iraq.

Barry took the picture during our lunch break. The mobile dental clinic was the center of attention, especially for the local boys. Barry saw 10 patients doing 13 restorations and two extractions. We got a late start in seeing patients due to the time to relocate.

We are in the desert although there is no sand. Lots of dirt, rocks, power lines, buildings and some Bedouin tents. The land is very flat and reminds us of west Texas except there is no tumbleweed.

We came back to our cottage last evening and are going back out to the clinic this morning after morning devotions (in Arabic) in the hospital lab. Remind me to tell you about our prayer meeting last night in Aileen's house, Todd who is the IT guy and travels with the dental clinic to provide support, pizza at Mafraq Pizza shop.
