"Seeing children that I have grown to know and love cover their young faces with their hands when they smile because their teeth are ruined by poor diet, poor dental hygiene, and lack of dental care has inspired me to work to make a difference in their lives by helping to provide a place where they can come and receive treatment and care, and see God's love in action!" ~Ron Mashburn

Equipment

Hi, everyone, thanks for stopping by!

This week my goal is to locate the rest of the equipment I will need for the clinic, and make arrangements to collect it, send it to Mobile, and arrange a date for shipment to Honduras! I have found that there are many sources for good used dental equipment, online clearing houses and organizations that will work with me to secure the needed equipment. Sometimes the internet is a wonderful tool, and I am grateful to Dr. Weitekamp and others who have directed me in my search for the best possible donated equipment.

I am finding that the greatest obstacle to the success of my mission is.........procrastination!! Yes, those of you who suffer from it as I do know what I mean, don't you?! It is so easy to focus on tomorrow, or next week, or next month, to say to yourself, "I have plenty of time!".

Is it fear of failure? Is it fear of success? We all know the joy that is found in accomplishing a task we set out to do. So.....I am going for that joy. Will it be perfect? No. Will I feel like I could have done more? Probably. But with God's blessing and your help, this dental clinic WILL be a reality.

More on that...later :)

Thank you for reading this far, I know if you are reading this that you
are someone important in my life and in this mission.

I'll be in touch!
Ron
