As I change with the seasons I usually find new interests. I have started working at the Bishops Storehouse and have been more aware of food storage. I am planning on getting serious about my personal responsibility for my own welfare. Last week I stored dry foods in mylar bags. This is for short term storage. I just wanted to conserve some space. I repackaged noodles and other types of pasta, bisquick, rice and some packaged mixes. These will be useful when we travel in the motor home.
If you need to get started just take a baby step.
Family Home Storage
First Presidency
"Our Heavenly Father created this beautiful earth, with all its abundance, for our benefit and use. His purpose is to provide for our needs as we walk in faith and obedience. He has lovingly commanded us to “prepare every needful thing” (see D&C 109:8) so that, should adversity come, we can care for ourselves and our neighbors and support bishops as they care for others.
"We encourage members world-wide 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."
