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.)

Its February – the month that brings Valentines Day - so love is in the air! A lot of songs have hit the charts encouraging a “little love in your heart.” What a great month to show a little love to the ones who matter most in our lives – our families! A wonderful way to share the love – is to be prepared! As we take some extra time to plan and prepare for our loved ones, we ensure their safety and well-being both now and in a future day. Just like “love” takes time to “bloom” – so it is with our preparedness. Truly, love is spelled T-I-M-E! This is a great month to show your love, and take the time to continue (or begin) on your preparedness journey. No one knows how to meet your family’s needs better than you do. Do not rely on the good graces of your neighbor, church, or government. The physical care of the saints is an impossible task for the church should a large-scale calamity strike. The responsibility to care for your own is yours. So “step up to the plate” – and show the love!
