"But the
end of all
things is at
hand: be ye
therefore
sober, and
watch unto
prayer"
(1Peter4:7).

"The signs of the times tell us that the end of all things is at hand. Prophecies fulfilled have become facts of history, clearly defining our position. We are standing upon the verge of the eternal world. . . ." -That I May Know Him, p. 355.

We all know about the terrible news of the last few weeks regarding the flooding in southern Mexico and Central America. We would like to inform you about some messages we have received:

1. TheGoodSamaritanDepartment ofthe Mexican Union

"San Luis Potosi, S.L.P. Mexico, Oct. 18, 2005

May the Lord fill you with His blessing and give you peace.
I am responsible for The Good Samaritan
Department ofthe Mexican Union. I
am sure you already know what has
happened in the southernmost part ofthis
country. Fortunately, we have not lost
any ofour brethren in thefaith.We have
lost material things. Many homes were
swept away by theflood, as well as many
ofour crops, which we used to sustain
ourselves. Because ofthe situation, many
do not have a job. People are taking
advantage ofthe circumstances and are
making a business, for we lack supplies.

The Mexican Union, as well as The Good
Samaritan Department, have already
sent some money; however, as you well
know, there is always much need in these
situations.
This all I can tell you, for everything else you have already seen or heard on the news.

"Never does God's truth put on an aspect of greater loveliness than when brought to the needy and destitute. Then it is that the light of the gospel shines forth in its most radiant clearness, lighting up the hut of the peasant and the rude cottage of the laboren Ángels of God are there, and their presence makes the crust of bread and the cup of water a banquet. Those who have been neglected and abandoned by the world are raised to be sons and daughters of the Most High. Lifted above any position that earth can give, they sit in heavenly places in Christ Jesus. They may have no earthly treasure, but they have found the pearl of great price." -Counsels on Stewardship, pp. 162, 163.
