Torrential rains across El Salvador triggered floods and mudslides over the weekend of Sunday Nov. 8, killing at least 130 people including four members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, according to a Church welfare report, but all Mormon missionaries are safe. In addition, between 16 and 18 Latter-day Saints are missing and presumed dead.

The areas around San Salvador and the central province of San Vicente were hit hardest by the rainfall, setting off a mudslide near Verapaz that killed dozens of people and destroyed more than 300 homes.
