My companions and I were the first health missionaries in Colombia and among the first in the world. I remember one of our leaders telling of meeting with a government official in another Latin American country. The government official said "Ah yes. Yours is the church that people become rich when they join it." Living the principles of preparedness, being more reliable employees, valuing family stability and education, and not spending precious funds on alcohol ad cigarettes changed the economic status of members.
