As I have stated before, one of the great blessings of our mission is the opportunity to interact frequently with the young missionaries. Yesterday, I had the opportunity to interact with a companionship while helping one with his BYU application.

Please meet Elder Zuniga (Honduras) and Elder Prophete (Haiti). Both are highly intelligent men to whom you are drawn by their cheerful demeanor and contagious smiles. I call Elder Prophete "Elder Colchón" (Elder mattress) because he asked for new mattresses twice when we were new to the mission. He is such a delightful man that I couldn't tell him "no." (Also, the president told us to be responsive to mattress requests so the missionaries get their sleep.)
