August begins our ward 3 month 72-hour kit challenge. Friday, August 20th @ 6:30 PM at the Lindsay bldg will be our first class. Come learn the basics of 72-hour kit assembly. Past the basics and looking for those “extras” to pack? Come! There will be lists handed out for whatever stage you are at – beginning to advanced. Already have a great kit? Bring it to display that evening! Just call me to coordinate!
Also, we will be having our ward Exchange Table that same night! Any useable household items and clothing will be accepted. “Use it up, wear it out, make it do, or do without!” If you have contributions, please contact me so we can get them ready for that night.
September 2nd is our next 72-hour kit meeting and we will be displaying, discussing and demonstrating WATER FILTERS. Discounted pricing is available as well as important information and handouts about water filtration. We will be offering Seychelle and Katadyn brand filters. Put it on your calendars now! Don’t miss this class – water is absolutely vital in emergency situations. Each company has some wonderful products, reasonably priced. Seychelle has $8 water filter straws that are a must for 72-hour kits I think. There is a special code for 50% discount on the Seychelle website for members of the church. Website links:

Let me know if you have questions! So what is in YOUR backpack????

Japanese Warning Stones and an Apostle Speaks
In one of my recent stake meetings, as we discussed a preparedness plan for all the wards, one of our High Councilmen told the group of us about this article. It discusses how along the coastlines in Japan there are ancient "warning stones" that give instruction and counsel about what to do in the case of an earthquake and pending tsunami.
It is amazing the similarities that we can draw between our modern day prophets, seers and revelators and the purpose of these stones. Read it and think about how this article relates to self-reliance, obedience and preparedness. The article provides an awesome family home evening lesson as well - try giving your kids a stone with an applicable scripture written on it as a reminder of the lessons to be learned from the article.

I would also encourage you to read this talk, The Celestial Nature of Self-Reliance by Marion G. Romney that was recommended to me today. Spiritual food for thought . . . you will be well fed.

Home Canning Corner
I have compiled a quick list (including pictures) of what I consider essential canning equipment to have in your home if you are serious about canning your own produce, fruit and meat. Home canning brings a sense of satisfaction and provides nutritious homemade meals from your pantry. Home canned food is the perfect addition to your 30-day menu and 90-day supply the First Presidency has counseled us to have. This list should make it easier as you start this rewarding endeavor. Good luck and happy canning!
