The January wildfires in Los Angeles County brought damage and destruction for people living in a beautiful part of the United States. For thousands, their world turned upside down as strong winds enabled ferocious fires to destroy trees, homes and neighborhoods.

Members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints from Pasadena, Palisades and Altadena, California, who were impacted by the recent wildfires, gathered in a chapel on Saturday, February 22, 2025, to hear from President Jeffrey R. Holland, the Acting President of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles.

“[God] loves us,” said President Holland to a capacity gathering of Church members and their friends who continue to experience excruciating loss. “I don’t know whether a meeting like this means anything to you, but it means a lot to us that we want you to know. We cry with you. We pray with you. You’re not isolated. You’re not forgotten.”
