Week 49 (December 2, 2012) These will be our last assignments for the year! We are almost there.

͓͓͓Pres. Henry B. Eyring shared the following life experience in March, 2008:

“Once, I went with my missionary companion to visit a family we had taught and baptized just a few weeks previously. The parents took us down into their basement to show us a room. It had been the bedroom of one of their two daughters. But she had now moved in with her sister. The bedroom she vacated was filled with everything the family would need in an emergency. We had not taught them anything about emergency preparedness. When we asked why they had done something so difficult so quickly, the reply was that they had read in a Church magazine that the Lord would like families to be prepared to take care of themselves and others. They said, “Isn’t that what Latter-day Saints do?” That simple faith extended to everything they felt the Savior would have them do. And their desire to follow Him lasted. And it changed them.”

Purchase: Purchase something to replenish your 3 month Food Supply List. Hopefully by now it is a habit ingrained in all of us and we naturally do it in our normal grocery shopping.

Purchase: One spare of each of your favorite condiments. Wouldn’t you like to buy mustard on sale for $0.25, instead of full price when you are desperate and have none left? Also, in an emergency situation, condiments can add a lot of flavor and “comfort” to the food that you will be living off of. At least ketchup and mustard are a must!
