Quick Little Prayer Request (by Thom)

I'm going into the dentist tomorrow (Friday) morning. This will actually be before most people in the US wake up, but I suspect I'll be in there a while. If you would, please pray this evening or tomorrow morning. I expect to be having a root canal done, and I'd be lieing if I said was was comfortable having this procedure done here in Mali. I've been in unbelievable pain for almost 2 weeks now and I'm excited to get this over, though. Thanks for your prayers.

Update!: I went to the dentist this morning. It was a pretty disappointing trip. I was expecting him to do, well, something. He looked at the tooth a little, pulled out the gauze he had placed in there last week in my first visit, broke off a piece of my already broken tooth, and put back in some gauze. He finished by taking an x-ray and telling me to come back on Monday. I left the office in considerable pain. The good news (I guess) is that I went home and took some pain medicine. About 30 minutes later I was feeling much better. Please keep me in your prayers this weekend. Sunday is my 30th birthday and getting rid of this tooth pain is about the best gift I can imagine getting (Miriam & Hannah excluded).
