    Major Earthquake Strikes Nepal

    Church determining how it can best help to relieve suffering

    "Our thoughts and prayers are with all those in Nepal impacted by Saturday’s earthquake and particularly those who have lost loved ones," Church spokesman Eric Hawkins said today. Initial reports indicate that over 1,400 people lost their lives in the magnitude-7.8 quake and thousands more are homeless.

    The humanitarian arm of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is determining how it can best help to relieve the suffering.

    One senior missionary couple from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is serving in the area and they are safe.\
