Arrived in Samoa on the 15th. I can't believe how green it is. Greener than Ireland......that's pretty green. I'm staying in a home above the campus just two minutes from the dental clinic. I saw my first patients today. My first patient was a 19 year old girl in pain. I had to remove 3 teeth because of decay and infection. It broke my heart. The people have been so kind and appreciative. Dr. Mangum and his wife took me grocery shopping Saturday to stock up on supplies so at least I won't starve to death. Dr Mangum says if you starve to death in Samoa there has to be something wrong with you. There are bananas, mangoes, and papayas everywhere. I now have a car, an orange toyota.....very nice. Driving on the left is still a challenge
