Business Transaction.




Thursday Dag( the crew dentist) and I headed out on a little business adventure. We were needing to go discuss a few things with a local man who will be fabricating all of our dentures and replacements for our patients. We had been told that this man was very good and his prices were cheap. Cheap is good, cheap mean more patients will be able to receive replacements, but cheap can also mean poor quality. So for the first time we hit the streets on Cotonou in search of the denture man. Once we found the business we had a conversation through a translator of course... (the man spoke zero English) and we both agreed that Seidou would be our new denture man. :)




Things are moving rather slowly, we have not received clearance or registration yet for our vehicles so we have not been able to get out to see out clinic site yet. Which is sad and a little discouraging, we all kind of thought we would have had at least started setting the clinic up by now. Oh well what can you do, NOTHING! We are all praying the cars are cleared Monday and that things can really get rolling this week. Please keep our big screening days in your prayers. They are this coming Thursday and Friday. Pray God will lead those He has plans for to us and lead those He has other plans for away from us. We are expecting up to 4,000 people to show up.
