Earthquake in Italy.

Our temple president, President Castellani, just sent me some pictures of the earthquake which took place on April 6 in a city in central Italy called L'Aquila (the Eagle).

It was 5.8 on the Richter scale. 279 dead. 1500 hurt. 10-15 thousand buildings damaged. Some of our fellow temple workers have friends and maybe even family living in that area. The Rome Stake has rolled up its sleeves to get to work. Four LDS Church families were directly affected by the quake, including the branch president. But they're getting back on their feet. Here is the site the president sent me.

Whoops! It won't work. The only thing this does is lead you to my logon site at google. Sorry about that. I'll see if I can figure out another way send you these photos. Actually, maybe you can find them by just googling for "earthquake in Italy."

Ah ha! Here is what I found. Some of the pictures are the same ones the president sent us.
