February 8, 2010 — Dr. Mathew Rawlins is a trauma surgeon at Sacred Heart Medical Center. He was already at work when his home phone rang.

It was just two days after the earthquake in Haiti.

His wife Kristin answered the phone call that day. The call was from Salt Lake City - it was the Humanitarian Department of the Church. They wanted to know if Dr. Rawlins would go to Haiti with a team of LDS doctors to help.

Kristin assured them that her husband would love to help.

Dr. Rawlins would be part of a team of 14 medical personnel, most of them from the Salt Lake area. The group included nurses, family doctors, trauma surgeons, orthopedic surgeons and ER doctors. It would be the first time the Church had ever sent a medical team to a natural disaster area, the first time LDS doctors at the behest of the Church would be on the ground.

After several travel delays, the group finally met up in Ft. Lauderdale, Fla. The team from Salt Lake brought duffel bags full of medical supplies to be used in Haiti, and off they went.

The meetinghouse will be home to more than 900 Latter-day Saints who reside in the west Post Falls area. Before the meetinghouse was constructed, the Church's 16th Avenue meetinghouse was taxed with the growing congregations. With three wards at capacity in the building, members had to park along the street and on the grass, and divide up meeting times throughout the week and on Sunday.
