Shawnee Wright gave a super lesson on food storage and being prepared. She has a very good sense of humor!
Highlights:
1. Store what you will use.
2. Don't let what you store go bad.
3. lds.com or providentliving.com have good ideas like a storage calculator. One sister mentioned you can even buy dry pack canning and have it delivered right to your door!
4. Take advantage of sales. Buy a little at a time.
5. Instead of buying junk (gum or soda), buy food. You can get pasta or dry-pack for the same price.
5. Rotate your storage.
6. Plant a garden and learn how to can.
7. A stake emergency preparedness fair is coming up in March. Our Stake Presidency is calmly concerned about our state of preparedness.
8. Relief Society meetings on the second Tuesday of each month will also teach how to use wheat and can.

Sister Markus was ill today, so since Jay (Markus) teaches the same lesson in Priesthood, he offered to teach it to all of us.
How do YOU know there is a God? Several people commented, but what about YOU? Have you had experiences with the physical world and creation? What about spiritual experiences?
We can get to know God the same way we get to know our earthly father...talk to him often, listen to what he says to you, then go act on his advice.


Don't forget Relief Society Meeting Tuesday January 12 at 7:00. We'll talk about the new program and taste several desserts from around the world. Love to have you there!

By the way, what do you think of the blog? I procrastinate putting my summaries of the lessons because it's a LOT of work, and I don't think anyone reads it. I was hopeful those who are in Primary, Young Women, or can't make it to church would benefit, but if no one cares, this is one thing that isn't a necessity. If ONE person wants me to continue, I will, but please let me know. Thank you!
