LDS (Mormon) Church Service in August 2007 Peru Earthquake

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z3Zsvml57PE is a video describing how to learn more about the Mormon Church.

This is from the October 2007 World Report.

A massive earthquake struck near Lima, Peru in August 2007 and along with other major storms in the Atlantic and Pacific, two Category 5 hurricanes pounded Mexico and Central America.

Local Church leaders responded quickly to these natural disasters to mobilize members of the Church to help in rescue efforts and in cleaning up debris. They opened chapels to help displaced victims and provided food and water. The Church also sent 80 tons of supplies on a 747 cargo plane, including medical supplies, hygiene kits, family food boxes and tarps.

Church leaders assured members that ongoing assistance would be provided.
