May's order

This month, you can help your family prepare for an emergency by buying a hand grain mill and food storage cookbook.

Hand grain mill: $57.00
Cookbook: $3.30

The hand grain mill is the same as or similar to the one sold by Emergency Essentials for $75.00. The cookbook is a cookbook released by the Lindon Cannery - they have given us permission to photocopy their cookbook and sell it, as they no longer sell these cookbooks.

These are two essential food storage items. A mill will allow you to use the wheat you store (to turn the wheat into flour), or to grind other items (flaxseed, oatmeal, etc.). The cookbook will help you answer one of the commonly asked food storage questions, "I have it - now what?"

To order one or both of these items, either leave a comment, contact Sandy White, or sign up on the sign up sheets that are passed around every Sunday in Relief Society, Priesthood, Primary, and Young Womens.

All orders, including money, are due by May 28th!!!

Be wise

"We encourage Church members worldwide to prepare for adversity in life by having a basic supply of food and water and some money in savings.

We ask that you be wise as you store food and water and build your savings. Do not go to extremes; it is not prudent, for example, to go into debt to establish your food storage all at once. With careful planning, you can, over time, establish a home storage supply and a financial reserve."
