The LDS Church expressed its sorrow and support for victims of a massive 8.2-magnitude earthquake that struck Mexico’s southern Pacific coast early Friday morning.
Eric Hawkins, speaking for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, said the quake was all the more shocking, coming so closely in the wake of the deadly Hurricane Harvey-related catastrophe in Texas, and just days ahead of expectations of massive damage from Hurricane Irma expected to hammer Florida this weekend.
“With the rest of the world, we are deeply concerned about the many natural disasters that have occurred around the globe in recent weeks,” Hawkins stated.
