Today at 1:41 this afternoon (while i was in relief society) a huge earthquake of 7.2 hit the region of Van in Eastern Turkey. Please pray for those suffering from this disaster. As of right now 87 people are dead and over 10000 are injured. This is only those that have been brought to the hospital and many more lay dead and trapped in the rubble. Sweet sweet Derin was tearing up while watching the news tonight. It is a sad thing. I am just grateful that it did not hit Istanbul. It would have been so much worse in this huge and extremely populated old city. What a blessing. Please keep Turkey in your thoughts and prayers! Thank you.
