I love the spooky Halloweeny look! Thanks, Stef.
I am currently in charge of a "Get Prepared" initiative in our ward. I invite all of you to join me in getting prepared or, for many of you, to finish getting prepared. I will be doing the following things:
- Making individual 72-hour evacuation kits for each family member.
- Making a family emergency supply kit for emergencies isolating my family at home.
- Building a 3 months supply of food we like.
- Making a Pandemic Flu Supplies kit.
Target has backpacks on sale now for $5 - $8. So go by as many as you need now. The backpacks were actually located in three different places in the store where I bought mine, so be persistent in locating them.
I am gathering orders for the following items. If you would like to add your order to mine, I'll save you money on the shipping costs:
Order forms for:
- 100-hour smokeless and odorless candles. Cost $3.00 dollars, no shipping costs.
- Windproof/Waterproof matches or just Waterproof matches. Cost $2.95 for one box of 25 matches for the combination windproof/waterproof matches. Cost 50 cents for one box of 50 waterproof matches. Shipping is currently $.86 per order, not per box.
- 3-day emergency kits for one person if you want to just buy one already “mostly” finished. Cost is $54.95 + shipping which is currently $3.00. This cost will go down as people order more.
- An all-in-one hand-crank flashlight, wavelength radio and charger. Cost is $12.00 no shipping costs. The charger part is an adapter that looks like a car adapter. If you cell phone can be charged in the car, it can be charged with this charger.
All of these items can be viewed at www.beprepared.com. They are products sold by a company called Emergency Essentials.
To get started, first of all, get organized. Get yourself a manila folder, a large 9x12 envelope or even a three ring binder to keep all of your information together.
Second of all, get yourself some containers or a designated spot for items. I'm using my Target backpacks for our evacution kits. For my Family Emergency kit and my Pandemic Flu supplies I’m using large boxes right now. For my 3-month food supply, I have a spot in the basement where I put boxes of food.
Make gather what you have, make an inventory and decide what you are going to need.
Let me know if you want anything. I love you, Martissa

Thanks Martissa, Jen and I do pretty good with our food supply but we can do better about having 72 hour kits. This is good information. Thanks for all the work that must have been to type it all up.
Hi family. Dad and I ordered the hand crank thing. We will be in Denver the first of Nov. If they are in, and if you want to order, we can deliver. Even to a cruise ship, Layne and Jen.
