Deflection? I did answer your question the truth is complicated. The LDS does great things all over the world to people in need. There are at least a half dozen temples today on the African continent and I'm not talking about south Africa. And more are being built. The LDS church is making a footprint in Western Africa. And there are plans for temples in India, Indonesia, even China. And countries where there is no LDS presence we are asked to offer aid to people in need. That's because we are trusted to do what we are asked and not get involved in their affairs. The ban on priesthood lasted 135 years and ended in 1978. Times are changing for the better but 43 years isn't long enough to undo 135 years.
You know most LDS are republicans. But when disasters happen we load up the semis and bring aid to those in need. Food, clothes, medical care, and whatever else. We're usually the first ones there. Hurricane Katrina, Hurricane Harvey, people who slammed doors in missionaries faces now embrace us because we were there.
So yeah your question and your weak gotcha have been answered. During the February freeze the LDS communities in Austin and Houston set up their meeting houses and brought hospice's there. It provided care to keep them out of that awful freeze. It could accommodate up to 60 patients and staff. Some members provided showers at their homes.
Did your church do that?
