This week's 'teachings of the brethren' :

"For the moment, we live in a day of peace and prosperity, but it will not ever be thus. Great trials lie ahead. All of the sorrow and perils of the past are but a foretaste of what is to be. We must prepare ourselves temporally and spiritually. And so we raise the warning voice and say: Take heed; prepare; watch and be ready."
Bruce R. McConkie, April Conference 1979

Getting Prepared . . .

Dear Family and Friends:

We are so excited to start this blog. We really hope that you will find our plan to get ourselves prepared easy to follow and inspiring enough to get your own families prepared. We'll have a section at the top of the blog with a list of the things we are working on every week. Unfortunately, we are starting from the bottom. Many of you may already have some of these things, so you may be able to skip some steps that we will not. We feel that our first steps need to be: (1) always having at least a 1/2 tank of gas and (2) to create a 72-hour kit for all of our family members. If we had all the money in the world, we'd purchase everything we need and create kits in one night (actually if we had all the money in the world we'd do a lot more than that; including create all of your kits, too). So, since we don't, based on our budget, we've created a six week plan to meet our 72-hour kit goal. Feel free to tweak the plan any way you need to make this work for your own family. After that we'll probably start working towards our year's supply. We love and pray for you all.

Eric, Beckii & Braxton

GET MORE FAMILIAR WITH 72-HOUR KITS HERE and HERE. (I will be posting other documents just like this one often. Unfortunately, once I publish them online, the formatting changes. Once you get to the OfficeLive page you see an icon at the top that says 'save as', if you click that and either open or save it, it will open a Microsoft Word document in the format it was inteded to be viewed in.) Let me know if you have any questions (beckiigallup@hotmail.com).
