Letter from Santiago, Chile mission president0
My father and stepmother are serving missions in Chile. Attached is a letter from the Santiago temple president and matron, Ted and Cheryl Lyon.
Thanks to all of you who have emailed your concern for us. We can state unequivocally that we’re fine. We can also state with the same emphasis that riding through that quake in our rocking fourth-floor apartment was for me the scariest experience I’ve ever been through!

We didn’t even have the presence of mind to get out of bed during the quake. I felt paralyzed, staring at the ceiling and wondering when the earth would stop rolling.
