Have you had your food storage for years? Are you using it? Rotating through it? Not only have the prophets and apostles counseled us to purchase our food storage, but to be wise in rotating it too. 

L. Tom Perry

“As long as I can remember, we have been taught to prepare for the future and to obtain a year’s supply of necessities. . . . I believe the time to disregard this counsel is over. With the events in the world today, it must be considered with all seriousness. . . . Create a plan if you don’t already have one, or update your present plan . . . We are not in a situation that requires panic buying, but we do need to be careful in purchasing and rotating the storage that we’re putting away.”

FOOD STORAGE:

1 case of Oats (Six #10 cans/approx 15 lbs)

There are two different kinds of oats sold at Home Storage. Regular Oats and Quick Oats. Their weight varies slightly, but they cost the same. If you can pick it up locally, you'll pay $19.50 for a case.

To buy it online, go here: Provident Living Regular Oats / Quick Oats.
This is on the Items of the Month order form handed out at church - where you write me a check and I go buy it for you and deliver it to your home!

EXTRA ITEM:
Shampoo, soap, toothbrush, toothpaste (to last 6 months)

FAMILY PREPAREDNESS:
Change the batteries in the smoke detectors and carbon monoxide monitors this week.

SPIRITUAL PREPAREDNESS:
Begin working on your family history. Read the Ensign, Nov 2003, p. 53, " The Phenomenon that is You," by James E. Faust.

As President Boyd K. Packer has said, "if you don't know where to start, start with yourself. If you don't know what records to get, and how to get them, start with what you have." Tell your children and grandchildren about their grandparents and other ancestors.
