Last week Cox and Dougall, and 43 other big-hearted Utahns, traveled to hurricane-ravaged Puerto Rico to deliver badly needed supplies. They paid their own way, barely slept, in sleeping bags in a crowded home, were oftentimes without electricity or clean water and generally had the best experience they could hope for.

Dougall said, “While the work was physically demanding, the conditions were very challenging and the days were extremely long, the opportunity to serve our fellow citizens, our Puerto Rican family, was incredibly rewarding.” Dougall lived in Puerto Rico for two years from 1985 to 1987.
