There is no time like our time – so let us seize the day (carpe diem) and… Be Prepared!
Included in this month's
newsletter:
NEW YEAR - New Beginnings - The
Basics- Review the list of basic food storage items and amounts needed per
person (grains, legumes, milk, sugar, salt, oil, water and other)
Provident Living - Shopping the
sales: Not
all “sales” are created equal!! Beware buying just because it is on sale.
Winter often brings case lot sales, so here are a few “sales” tips.
Disaster Prep - What to do when
the lights go out: Winter time, with its long nights, is a good time to think about what you will do for light if the
power goes out. Have more than one method available for different situations
(candles, emergency candle in a jar, solar lights,
propane lanterns extra mantles, flashlights.)
In the southern Utah Garden: Not a lot of gardening
goes on in January – but lots of planning can. Grab a cup of hot chocolate, and
pen and paper and go to work….(plan what to plant, garden spot, etc)
LDS Church Emergency Preparedness: What does the church officially recommend for our preparedness? In the online LDS web site, church
members are encouraged to prepare a simple emergency plan. Items to consider
are listed.
Cooking with food
storage: Orson Hyde said “There is more salvation and
security in wheat, than in all the political schemes of the world. …” Recipes
and ideas to use your wheat as wheat berry cereal, cracked wheat,
breads, sprouted wheat, and other ideas are included.
Spiritual Preparedness: The prophets have
encouraged us for many years to store food for a day of want. Are we following
the prophet? Quotes from President Thomas S. Monson and Ezra Taft Benson.
