Welcome!

These monthly newsletters (from January 2011 to present) are to help us all be more prepared. They are written for the Hurricane Utah Stake (Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints,) but everyone is welcome to make copies. Many other groups and individuals are using them. (Note: Garden tips are for Southern Utah. You may need to adjust to fit your climate.)

October 2015

Fall is in the air! It is a favorite time of year for many. The harvest is in, the yard work has slowed, and the shelves are lined with fresh bottled goods. It is a great time to relax a little and enjoy the fruits of a summer’s labor. Fall is also when the LDS General Conference time rolls around and a great time for us to take stock of our spiritual preparedness. As we bask in the glow of the autumn leaves, let us soak up the spiritual enlightenment that is also available. Nights are a little longer, so perhaps we can use that time to add to the spiritual part of our life.  Let us review both the shelves that are lined with temporal preparedness, and the testimony within that is our spiritual preparedness.  As we are prepared in both aspects we will find the peace that preparedness and obedience brings.
