July
brings with it holidays and celebrations for both our country and state. The
Book of Mormon tells us this is a land of promise, a land choice above all
others (1 Nephi 2:20). If we serve the Lord and keep the commandments it “shall
be a land of liberty unto (us).” (2 Nephi 1:7) It is a commandment to “Be
Prepared!” Let us honor and celebrate our liberty in state and country this
month by continuing in our efforts to follow the prophet and be prepared both
temporally and spiritually.
Included in this month's newsletter:
Summer Canning: using produce from the orchard and garden.
Spiritual Preparedness: four thought provoking quotes.
Hot Tip: a variety of hot cereals to store and enjoy.

June 2012 Newsletter
Summer is here at last! Hot summer days
and warm evening, crickets and frogs singing in the night, a dip in the pool or
river, and the smell of fresh cut hay. With all this balmy weather also come
fresh fruits and vegetables. We are so blessed to have an abundance of fruit
growing on the trees. What an opportunity to fill our shelves with home bottled
food. Let us enjoy the work the gardens and orchards bring and pray for a
bounteous harvest. Be sure to make the garden and bottling a family affair.
There is a great sense of accomplishment that comes with being a part of
producing and canning your own food! If you haven’t done so before, or for a
long time, this is a great summer to give it a try.
Have a happy summer!
