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.)

July 2020 Back to Basics Newsletter

July brings with it sweltering summer days, usually monsoon storms, and especially celebrations for both our county and state. We live in the “land of the free and home of the brave,” all made possible by the blood, sweat and tears of our forefathers. This is a promised land, that is choice above all others (1 Nephi 2:20). One of the freedoms we have in this choice land, is the freedom to be prepared!  In some countries it is illegal to store food (called “hoarding”).  Part of our responsibility to our fellow citizens is to “Be Prepared” so that we can care for ourselves, allowing church resources to go to those who are unable to do so. Certainly part of being prepared is also holding fast to the blessings we are given by following the prophet and keeping the commandments. That spiritual preparedness will help us to know the things we need to add to our temporal preparedness to be ready for what lies ahead. Let us honor and celebrate our liberty by continuing in our efforts to follow the prophet and be prepared both temporally and spiritually.
