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 2025 Back to Basics Newsletter

July brings the summer heat – but also well-loved celebrations for Country and State! Our Independence and Pioneer Day celebrations always bring parades, fireworks, BBQ’s, watermelon, and maybe homemade ice cream. We celebrate today, because of sacrifices from the past! What are we doing with that gift of freedom? We have the freedom in this country to Be Prepared! Some countries call food storage “hoarding,” and it is illegal! But here in America we can set aside for a rainy day. We can worship and be spiritually prepared as well. Our country’s founding fathers, and our religion’s forefathers, would expect us to take advantage of this promised land and the time in which we live! Let us not squander the freedoms that are ours. We can honor those who came before us as we are prepared! Preparedness truly IS a celebration of freedom!
