“Our purpose is to reflect the light and love of the Savior in our country. We invite everyone to experience and share the light of Christ through service to others. This year, the focus of the national day of service is to radiate love and compassion,” said Elder Hugo Montoya of the Mexico Area Presidency.
Church members and friends in the Tultitlan area visited two hospitals, delivering food to family members of patients who spend nights outside the facilities waiting for updates on their loved ones’ health. In Mexican states Chihuahua, Torreon, Mexico, and Queretaro, volunteers cleaned and painted schools, migrant shelters, and public squares to foster a healthier, safer, and more pleasant community environment.
The national day of service was part of the global Light the World initiative, an annual campaign inviting people of all faiths and beliefs to perform service and kindness during the Christmas season. This initiative encourages following the example of Jesus Christ by engaging in small but meaningful acts of service.
