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.

November 2023 Back to Basics Newsletter

November is our month of “Gratitude.” This is the month that the glow of autumn settles on the world around us. The days are still pleasant, and the nights cool enough to encourage a cozy fire to gather round. It is that time of year when we are thankful “all is safely gathered in” so we can say, “let the winter storms begin.” Being grateful helps us recognize the blessings that God sends to us, and in turn encourages us to use wisely the resources that are ours. Let us each use this Thanksgiving month to show our gratitude for all we are blessed with, by being sure we have put aside “every needful thing,” and can care for our families. What better way to show our gratitude to the Lord for his bounty, than to be good stewards over it, and follow His admonition that “if ye are prepared ye shall not fear.” As Ralph Emerson once said, “This time – like all times -is a very good one, if we but know what to do with it.”  Let us use this time of Thanksgiving, to Be Prepared!
