LDS leader Eyring tours Caribbean devastation from Hurricane Irma
The leaders visited with members recovering from the storm that damaged businesses, uprooted trees, ripped off roofs, took out power, caused nearly $11 billion in damages and killed more than 40 people in the Caribbean, the release said. None of the people who died was LDS.
“The rebuilding in some of these places may take years,” Eyring said in the release. “When you lose infrastructure, it takes a long time to put it back. I don’t know what part we’ll play in that, but we ought to be as helpful as we can to the [government] agencies that are responsible. We can’t do it [all], but we can help wherever we can.”
