A 20-year-old missionary serving for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Brazil was killed in a tragic bus and semi-truck collision on Friday, May 26th. Elder Izaak Orion Card from Anchorage, Alaska died in an accident that occurred near the city of Tibagi.
According to a press release issued by the church, four missionaries were on a bus when it was hit by a semi-truck. Unfortunately, Elder Card did not survive the crash while "the other three missionaries did not sustain serious injury and are being cared for by local members of the Church."
“We send our love to Elder Card’s family and friends and the missionaries and members in the Brazil Curitiba Mission,” said Sam Penrod, spokesperson for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. “We pray that each will find peace and comfort as they mourn this faithful missionary and reflect on his Christlike service.”
The Church is headquartered in Salt Lake City but has missions all over the world where young men like Elder Card serve as full-time volunteers. This tragedy serves as a reminder that even those who dedicate their lives to helping others can be taken too soon.
