Bennion 15th Ward Preparedness Network
Bennion 15th Ward Preparedness Network
As a ward leadership we feel an importance of establishing a network within our ward family that can inform and educate us all on current ideas on preparedness. Our hope is that his blog will help create a link for us, as well as with other wards and organizations who are moving in the same direction.
Now is the time to begin. Elder Dieter F. Uchtdorf said in the October 2005 General Conference
"We recognize that we are living in a time of turmoil, disaster, and war. We and many others feel strongly the great need for a "defense, and for a refuge from the storm, and from wrath when it shall be poured out without mixture upon the whole earth" (D&C 115:6)."
We invite you all to share resources and your comments here, and become apart of our important network system. And if you have resources for preparedness you'd like us to consider posting please e-mail them to Suzanne Hansen at suzannnehansen@comcast.net

The Time Is Now
"I believe it is time, and perhaps with some urgency, to review the counsel we have received in dealing with our personal and family preparedness... We have been instructed to follow at least four requirements in preparing for that which is to come. Gain an adequate education, Live within your income, Avoid uneccessary debt, Store a reserve of food and supplies... As long as I can remember, we have been taught to prepare for the future and obtain a year supply of necessities. I would guess that the years of plenty have almost universally caused us to set aside this counsel. I believe the time to disregard this counsel is over. With the events in the world today, it must be considered with all seriousness.
President Gordon B. Hinckley in the October 1998 General Conference Priesthood Session:
"And there shall arise after them seven years of famine... And God will shortly bring it to pass." Now, brethren, I want to make it very clear that I am not prophesying, that I am not predicting years of famine in the future. But, I am suggesting that the time has come to get our house in order... There is a portent of stormy weather ahead to which we had better give heed... We are carrying the message of self-reliance throughout the Church... I urge you brethren to look to the condition of your finances... May the Lord bless you, my beloved brethren, to set your houses in order... That's all I have to say about it, but I wish to say it with all the emphasis I am capable."
Elder Boyd K. Packer in the May 1990 Ensign:
"I have thought much lately of the other prophet Joseph, who interpreted the dream of the pharaoh. I have thought of the seven years of plenty and a time to prepare before the years of famine. I have thought of a pharaoh humble enough to heed the counsel of a prophet and of a people who were saved because of it."
President Ezra Taft Benson in the November 1980 Ensign:

The degree of our preparation will be equal to the extent of our obedience, which will determine the measure of our peace of mine. Neil H Leash
“Prepare ye, Prepare ye for that which is to come, for the Lord is nigh” D&C (1:12)
“Many more people could ride out the storm-tossed waves in their economic lives if they had their year�s supply of food � and were debt-free. Today we find that many have followed this counsel in reverse: they have at least a year�s supply of debt and are food-free.”
- Thomas S. Monson (Church News, May 12, 2001)
