Growing frustration among families waiting to return home, while others turn to faith in aftermath of fires.

The wildfires raging outside of the Pacific Palisades have left families in a state of uncertainty as they wait in long lines for hours to find out if their homes have been spared by the flames. The Eaton and Palisades fires have wreaked havoc on the region, with fire crews making some progress in containment over the weekend. However, with winds expected to pick up once again, the fire danger remains high.

Despite the devastation caused by the fires, some families have found solace in their faith. Houses of worship across Los Angeles have been destroyed, but worshippers are finding ways to come together, singing, praying, and finding comfort in their communities. In the midst of chaos and loss, these acts of faith and unity offer a glimmer of hope for those affected by the fires.

NBC News reporters Tom Llamas, Ellison Barber, and Morgan Cheeks have been on the ground to capture the stories of these families as they navigate the uncertainty and devastation caused by the wildfires. As the fires continue to rage on, the resilience and faith of these communities serve as a powerful reminder of the strength that can be found in coming together in times of crisis.
