One of our responsibilities is to support the younger missionaries, particularly in their temporal needs. This responsibility provides some unique opportunities.

Yesterday, we went to the store owned by Walmart (named Lider), bought a mattress, tied it to the roof of our car and drove an hour south to deliver it to the first Haitian missionary to serve in our mission. He is a bright young man who has only been here two months but speaks excellent Spanish.

We had heard of the volcanoes in Chile so Mary did research on line to see how many there are. Wikipedia says, "Chile has about 500 volcanoes considered active, 60 of which have had recorded eruptions in the last 450 years."  As we drove to deliver the mattress, we stopped and took a picture of one.
