Leaders from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints visited Nepal to offer support and love to the people after the April 25 earthquake and aftershocks. A new photo gallery from the India Mormon Newsroom website captures the devastation they found.
Elder Jim Valentine and Sister Chris Valentine, who are featured in the photo gallery, were serving in Nepal as humanitarian missionaries for the LDS Church when the 7.8-magnitude earthquake struck. The India Mormon Newsroom site shared their story of being separated at the time of the earthquake and their reunion.
President Peter E. Sackley, president of the India New Delhi Mission, and Elder Randy D. Funk, of the Area Asia Presidency, visited the Valentines and the Nepalese people recently and are also featured in the photo gallery.
The LDS Church News reported that the earthquake claimed the lives of thousands of Nepalese people, but no LDS Church members were harmed.
