Lets Begin A New Adventure of Hope and Support

Dear Ward Members,

Im not at all sure how to begin this for our ward. I have a good friend in Orem Utah whose ward is being spotlighted as a prepared ward. Prepared for survival as well as food storage. I will do my best to give you ideas, sites and helps of all kinds to help you in your storage venture. We have been asked to prepare since 1937. I myself have stored different ways in the various stages of my life. When I was a young married with 2 children and my husband was in the service we had little money or space. My effort was to save any canned goods I had'nt used in the months menus before I shopped again. I put it aside and that is how I afforded and started my first food storage. When my marriage ended I used my food storage for 3 months until I had to get some help. So storage isn't just about a disaster~it is for any number of reasons. If you have a storage story share it with us and lets work together to become better prepared as the Lord asks. Also as we prepare remember we are in a community as well as a ward. None of us will turn anyone else away that needs something. The word COMMUNITY could mean Come-in-unity so if you can put in some extra, the Lord will bless us all for serving ALL of his children.
