Following fires that displaced nearly 200,000 people and destroyed homes across multiple cities, President Jeffrey R. Holland, acting president of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, ministered in Van Nuys, California, to Latter-day Saints whose lives had been turned upside down by the tragedy.
“We cry with you, we pray with you, you are not isolated, you are not forgotten,” President Holland said.
In a new Church News video titled “Apostolic Comfort,” President Holland shares his feelings of love for those who are working to rebuild their lives in the fires’ aftermath.
Mike and Susan Christensen from the Pasadena Ward in Altadena, California; Matthew and Wendy Garff in the Pacific Palisades Ward in Pacific Palisades, California; Pasadena Ward Bishop Darren R. Baker and Amanda Baker, all members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, share their experiences with the fire, its aftermath and with hearing the words of an Apostle of Jesus Christ.
