Pray and Give
As we wake up this morning the sunrises over the greatest tragedy to visit our city since the MGM Grand fire, it is heartbreaking to hear the casualty numbers get higher and higher. It is just hard to wrap your head around this kind of evil existing in the world.
But we are not only Americans we are Las Vegans. We take care of our own. So let's start by doing a few simple things.
Give blood today with me. There is an urgent need for all types. The donation locations are listed below.
Reach out to any friends or families of the victims you may know and offer your help any way they need it; a ride to the hospital, sitting with them in the waiting room, looking after a child or just being there to listen and letting them know they are loved.
Check in on your friends and family that were there and not injured. They may need a person to talk to.
Take a moment when you see a first responder to thank them for their service.
And finally, take the time to hug your children and loved ones a little tighter. To let the people in your life know you love them. Eat a meal tonight as a family. Truly appreciate the people in your life. They are your true blessings.
We are not only strong; we are Vegas Strong. We will get through this together.
As Elder Ellis said yesterday, "The world is dangerous, and the Lord has commanded his people to not act out of a spirit of fear. The Lord's answer to hard times is to go forward with faith".
You can give blood at UMC Hospital, Delta Point 901 Rancho Lane, Las Vegas as well as the following locations through Nevada.
All my love,
