Temples of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints

A statement was issued yesterday by Elder Mark A. Bragg, president of the North America West Area, regarding the wildfires affecting Greater Los Angeles: "…We mourn with those who have experienced loss and ask for the Savior’s comforting spirit to be with them. We also express gratitude for the acts of faith and work sustaining those affected by this crisis. At this time, the Church is mobilizing its resources. Everyone is encouraged to volunteer and make themselves available to assist those in need. The Church is committed to helping during this emergency and throughout the aftermath." Missionaries have been relocated, and the Los Angeles California Temple is safe and not affected by any fires or emergencies.

As the visitors' center at the Los Angeles California Temple is undergoing renovation, the Missionary Department is seeking artifacts, photographs, and other media relating to the construction and dedication of the temple for use in a new visitors' center exhibit. If you have such items, please contact the Missionary Department at cclark@ldschurch.org or 801-240-0467.
