We were just called to be the emergency preparedness specialist in our ward.  I buy things all the time and I am concerned about people getting this done, no don' t go into debt, but life is about choices, giving up a want for something  The Lord has told us to do.  I brought home another 6 bags of beans , one of those purifiers with extra filter, and a 50lb bag of oatmeal cost $116.  That would be about one trip from SLC pulling a boat.  I see enough people coming to the lake, I see them in church filling  every nook and cranny.  So I would hope people who "play" are totally prepared, if not the consequences may be hard to bare,  and they just might not hear the whispering of the spirit if they won't listen to the loud voice of the prophets. One problem we have is our ward is so geographically large communication with each other could be a problem both sides of the lake . I bought a short wave radio before we were called just for that purpose so now I need to get some organized system with block captains. Not sure quite how to make it really effective, if people won't get there food how can I get them to get radios.

What the heck happened to the price of grains?!?  I'm sure glad I got my year's supply when I did.  Thing have quadrupled in price in the past five years.  Whoa!
