Fun Reunion and BYUH Keiki Dental Day

This is Caroline Altom from our old U of Utah YSA Ward.
So fun to see her and catch up.

We held a Keiki (children's) Dental Day on campus. These student
volunteers helped us and the Married Stake RS President
hosted it.

Dr. Woody, a pedodontist, showed parents
and children how to brush.

Sister Galloway (on left) made this great poster. Sister Edgar, a nurse
that visits all newborn babies born to students, helped
teach parents how to take care of baby's teeth.

We helped nearly 30 children.

There are over 70 countries represented on
the BYU-H campus.

Thanks to a $1,500 donation that I received
from the LDS Academy of Dentists we
were able to give all the participants a brush, toothpaste
and floss.

The students from the BYU-H Health Professionals Club had
some cute games for the kids to do.

Coloring teeth was a big hit.

Also watching toothbrushing videos with Elmo were popular.

This boy loved brushing this egg until it
was pearly white after having been soaked
in Coke.

Healthy teeth snacks were provided by the Stake.

Here is the adult crew that made this event happen.
Thanks to Dr. Gary Wiest's recommendation to the
Board of LDS Academy of Dentists, this is going to
be an annual event. I feel very blessed to help
this happen. Thanks for the encouragement from
Sister Crookston third from the right. Also thanks
the Stake RS President Sister Ah Sue on the far right.

Had an inspiring meeting with Michael Ballam who spoke about
his experience with being in a temple film.  He spoke very
highly of Bill's sister Laura.

Our Saturday bike ride had to go through the tall bushes
thanks to all the rain we have had.

Where is a machete when we need it?
