Juarez, Here I come

I had the pleasure of speaking at length with my father in law , Jerry Bettendorf, last night. It was a very nice chat except he said something that kinda disturbed me. He was telling me about his dental fiasco, you know, how you have to run to 3 different specialists and schedule out 6 months for an appointment just to find out that you went to the wrong guys anyway and now you have to start all over with a new referral. Well the way Jerry tells it he kinda got fed up and found another alternative so he took it. He seemed very pleased with his experience. I, of course, was dubious.

You see, Jerry decided to place his life (ok maybe just his mouth) in the hands of the Mexican nationals. He went south of the border for his dental care. Like, no hablo ingles senor. Lo siento. On the phone he sounded very confident and reassuring that the work was done right and it looks great and you can’t even tell the difference. So I guess he could hear the trepidation in my voice because right before we got off the phone he said “Listen, I’ll send you a picture. You can’t even tell.”

I received the picture today. What do you think?

Jerry, I couldn’t get the pics you wanted today. Look for those tomorrow. :) And I think you look great!! It is an improvement.

Thanks for the laugh, I’m sure after all your DEEP discussions lately this was just what you needed, I know it was what I needed today.
I continue to pray for your sweet Jillian that the cancer will not return. Trusting Jesus is one of the hardest, but most rewarding experiences I have ever experienced, I will pray that as you continue to trust Him with all your life and your children’s lives you will be blessed.
Love in Christ,

I never dreamed you would put that picture on your blog! I always check to see if you have a new entry before bed and when I discovered this one tonight I laughed so hard I choked. I wakened JB as he was sleeping in his chair just to tell him about it. Have you ever seen such a sight? He told me he wanted to get the teeth and do this, but I did not know he already had. The real work turned out great.
XXXXXXXX’s and OOOOOOO’s to all
