Honor Posted March 4, 2010 Report Share Posted March 4, 2010 (edited) Meridian Magazine : : Church Update: In Chile: The Lord's Earthquake WarningPresident Larry Laycock and his wife, Sister Lisa Laycock head the Santiago Chile East Mission and had spent the two weeks prior to the 8.8 earthquake visiting each missionary apartment and preparing them for an earthquake. They brought specific instructions on what to do, supplied water purification bottles for the missionaries, told them how to create a 36-hour kit for emergencies and how to stay in communication should an earthquake strike. They prayed with each missionary and dedicated their apartments. Why? Because of a special experience that alerted them to what was coming. They told their missionaries, “If ye are prepared, ye shall not fear.” Edited March 4, 2010 by Honor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeuroTypical Posted March 4, 2010 Report Share Posted March 4, 2010 It seems like such a FaithPromotingRumor, and yet there it is, complete with names, dates, places, and from recent memory. I guess the next thing we need is independent confirmation. Anyone with a kid in that mission who can back up the story? LM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NeuroTypical Posted March 4, 2010 Report Share Posted March 4, 2010 Am I correct that the missionaries in Haiti also were safe or protected?Yes. However, if anyone tells you that there were a bunch of missionaries who got a prompting to not go to their meeting at the World Trade Center on 9/11, don't believe them.

john doe Posted March 4, 2010 Report Share Posted March 4, 2010 has anyone else seen the article on the web about that earthquake shifting the earth's axis? Yes, and then a German scientist said that the idea is preposterous and based on faulty guesses and assumptions, not data. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ADoyle90815 Posted March 4, 2010 Report Share Posted March 4, 2010 (edited) has anyone else seen the article on the web about that earthquake shifting the earth's axis?My reaction to that was Awesome! By that, I mean that it shows how powerful earthquakes can be, and is a reminder to be ready for when the southern section of the San Andreas fault goes.I see someone else posted a link.

Honor Posted March 5, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2010 Mormon missionaries from Sonoma County deal with quake in Chile | | PressDemocrat.comThese are two elders from my hometown. They're not in the same mission as the president and his wife in the original article but interesting to hear their own descriptions of what's going on. I used to babysit the elder pictured on the right and my little sister's best friend is/was? (lol) dating the elder on the left (she's now on her own mission in Honduras).

Maya Posted March 5, 2010 Report Share Posted March 5, 2010 (edited) Chile quake didnt shift planets axis - German scientists put Earth back on track - News - Bild.deSo who is right in the end? Maybe it is the planet X approaching? Anyway many scientsista have talked about the earths axis shift in the near future... maybe it happens by earthquakes little by litle? Days also should be shortened at the end.... Edited March 5, 2010 by Maya Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm waiting for that 2nd and 3rd witness, so the truth may be established from their words.LMI wasn't talking about 2-3 witnesses. I was wondering if you really think this letter is a fake. If you don't, then why not take it at face value and believe it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
