At our Relief Society Activity this past Thursday we were given some great information and being prepared and a challenge to get our lifes in order and do as our Prophet's have asked us. To simplify this process, we have come up with one item each week to work on. The Plan: The First Presidency has counseled: "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." Each week, add an item to your grocery list. Buy the largest amount you can afford. It is better to buy a little & get started with your food storage program, than to go into debt or put off any progress until you can afford to buy the whole year's supply at once. Watch for sales or specials. Share your "Hot Buys" and bargains with friends & neighbors. Mark the dates to help with rotation. Replace items once they are used. Don't get discouraged! If you miss a week, keep going. Remember to eat an elephant you have to do it one piece at a time!
Week One: Fill those water jugs!! Buy water purification tablets or use bleach: 1/2 tsp to 1 gallon of clear water or 1 tsp to 1 gallon of cloudy or colored water. Use bottles commonly used for juices and soda. Keep away from heat and direct sunlight.
