Food Storage

I had a stake leadership meeting on Saturday. The speaker taught about emergency preparedness and food storage. It was very motivating to here how we need to be prepared and helped me have ideas on how Jonathan and I can be self-sufficient and prepared. I want to go to the food store house and get one of those food storage for two. It will be a year supply of the neccesities we need. I remembered the enrichment activity I went to in Utah. All the sisters were invited to bring a dish where everything was made out of food storage items. It was a lot of fun and I was amazed at what the sisters were able to contirbute. I think it is important to use what we have and cycle through it. Also, to save recipes that will be useful in those emergency situations. If we don't live that way when there is turmoil how are we going to be able to survive on our food storage. I think my kids would hate me if dinner was disgusting every night. I need to plan for that.
Solar paneling. I need to research this. Hermana Rider and I would talk about it in Venezuela. I really want it then I won't hae to worry about heat and cooking if we are unable to have electricity.
