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.)

May 2021 Back to Basics Newsletter

 Click here for a complete copy of the May 2021 Back to Basics Newsletter.

In years gone by, the month of May was welcomed with May Day celebrations! This included weaving of the May Pole, delivering May Day Baskets, and enjoying singing and cake! It was an ancient Festival of Spring. It is not a popular holiday anymore, but we can “celebrate” this merry month of May with an eye to preparedness! What better time than May to be sure our gardens and yards are growing and ready to flourish as the weather warms! It is a great month to look forward to harvests, and plan for how you will use the produce from your garden and fruit trees. And it is always a time to increase our Spiritual Preparedness as we teach our families and arm them for the battles of the last days. When the storms of life arrive, we can be ready to act, and not be acted upon! Lets use this month to be a little more prepared!
