Baby Step #2 Follow up

So how are we doing this week? Did you read through Baby Step #2 and take action?

Remember just pick at least one thing and move forward with it!




I wish to urge again the importance of self-reliance on the part of every individual Church member and family.

None of us knows when a catastrophe might strike. Sickness, injury, unemployment may affect any of us.

...the best place to have some food set aside is within our homes, together with a little money in savings. The best welfare program is our own welfare program. Five or six cans of wheat in the home are better than a bushel in the welfare granary.

So, what have you done on Baby Step #2 this last week??

Baby Step #2

Ready for the next step? Well let's get going! No point chit chatting when we can be making progress!

Here is a link to Baby Step #2


Open it up, read, print and do! Remember, one thing at a time. The idea is to make progress. Follow the spirit. Ask Father what is needed for your family, He knows :)


“I am suggesting that the time has come to get our houses in order.”

Baby Step #1 Follow Up

Well everyone? How are you doing? Have you printed the Emergency Preparedness Plan? The Family Plan section sounds like a great Family Home Evening and/or Family Council!

Even if you can only purchase one single item that is enough! If you can do more, do it!

Remember the idea is to take consistent steps forward
YOU CAN DO IT!

Nephi accomplished his commandment from the Lord to get the plates on the third good try. It's not always the first shot or the first idea that works. If purchasing something doesn't work, is it something that could be pulled together like a sewing kit? Finding safety pins, a nearly empty spool of thread, a few spare buttons and a pair of kids scissors in the back corners of various drawers? Maybe Grandma or a neighbor who sews would trade some of these supplies for a little help around the house.

There is a way. Invite the Lord into your brainstorming sessions. He will help you.

So, what have you done on Baby Step #1 this last week??

Baby Step #1

I think FoodStorageMadeEasy.net is a wonderful resource. They have a baby step program that we are going to follow here on this blog. Why recreate something so well done!

If you're interested in purchasing the entire binder that they mention we, as a ward, are doing a group buy. It will be between $3-4 per copy (averaging in the initial binder purchase) Remember it is a digital copy. The buy will be closing on March 31st. Let me know if you'd like to join us!


"The greatest events that have been spoken of by all the Holy Prophets will come along so naturally as the consequences of certain causes, that unless our eyes are enlightened by the Spirit of God, and the spirit of revelation rests upon us, we will fail to see that these are the events predicted by the Holy Prophets." George Q Cannon on the left.

Welcome!

Are you ready?

Are you ready to take steady measured steps following the prophets?

I'm here to point out useful resources that can assist you on your journey.

First the foundation:

Pointer #1 Ask Father for guidance and to have His influence.

Pointer #2 Listen. Listen to the Holy Ghost. Father knows what is down the road for you and what is the most important thing for you to do. What He tells me may be different than what you hear for your family. What have you been hearing and pushing away because it seems too hard, too expensive or that you'll never need it?

Pointer #3 Go and Do.

1 Nephi 3:7 "I ^awill go and do the things which the Lord hath commanded, for I know that the Lord giveth no ^bcommandments unto the children of men, save he shall ^cprepare a way for them that they may accomplish the thing which he commandeth them."

Have faith that the way is prepared for you. Embarking on being prepared is one area we have instruction on from past and present prophets.

"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. " All is Safely Gathered In

Brothers, Sisters and friends, I'm here as a resource for you and to be a cheerleader as you make progress.

There is no gain for me in anything I post - forward this to friends and family knowing that I'm here.
