The dental hygiene program at Seattle Central Community College provided us with 300 sample tubes of toothpaste to take with us today. A big THANK YOU for your contribution to our mission.

All is secure with the fluoride varnish and other supplies. Randy is having some challenges getting the glass ionomer preparation as this specific one is not used in the U.S. Only the World Health Organization (WHO) uses it. We will know next Tuesday if we are able to secure it.

We are ready for the orphanages and now have Santa hats to wear to keep the children (and us) entertained at Christmas.

The dental school in Saigon is going to provide Randy an interpreter for his lecture. Since My will be Jolene's interpreter for her presentation to college students, they will be getting together to do a dry-run (maybe on the plane on the way over).

It' s beginning to feel very real now with only 5 days left until we leave. Everyone is so excited!
