A message from Sister Hunt

Dear Sisters,

During the past few days, many of us have been confronted with an experience or two that have made us stop and think about how prepared we are to take care of our families in times of earthly challenges. 
Many families in the Lehi area felt the tremors of 3 seperate small earthquakes within days of each other.  A few nights ago a fierce winter storm hit our area with high winds, white out driving conditions and the loss of power to hundreds of homes.  Did you feel safe in the knowledge that you were prepared to have warmth, light and food without electricity?  Are you and your family prepared with knowledge and supplies in case of a larger earthquake?

I believe that being prepared is a work in progress, something we must continue to review and apply in our daily lives.   I know that I  have many, many more things I need to do to feel that calm, peaceful feeling of being prepared.

We hope that the ward representatives that attended our Stake emergency /disaster prepardness training session in January are working closely with their individual Relief Societies and Bishops in getting their own wards better prepared in the areas taught - Shelter, Water, Sanitation and Alternative Cooking. 

I am reminded of and love the following quote by Elder Dallin H. Oaks  (May 2004 Liahona address)

"We need to make both temporal and spiritual preparation for the events prophesied at the time of the Second Coming. And the preparation most likely to be neglected is the one less visible and more difficult - the spiritual.  A 72-hour kit of temporal supplies may prove valuable for the earthly challenges, but, as the foolish virgins learned to their sorrow, a 72-hour kit of spiritual preparations is of greater and more enduring value."

How blessed we are to be able to attend our Stake Conference this Saturday and Sunday.  May we prepare our hearts and our minds to listen, hear and then act upon the great council we will receive there from our Stake Presidency and our visiting authority. May our lives continue to be blessed with faith, obedience and the determination to prepare ourselves in all things.

Love,
    Sister Hunt

Mormon Channel

 We wanted to make you sisters aware of a wonderful resource. The church sponsors an internet radio station. It's called The Mormon Channel. Every month The Mormon Channel broadcasts a Relief Society program that works with the visiting teaching message for that month -- using quotes from the Relief Society General Presidency and General Authorities.

Watch the slide show below to see pictures from our recent Emergency/ Disaster Preparedness Workshop. Put your mouse over an image to read the caption. All of these images are of things you should learn about when you attend the classes taught in your wards. Make sure you go when they are offered so you can feel prepared in case of a disaster or emergency!

Stake RS Emergency/ Disaster Prepardeness Training Workshop

 

1-11-11

 Stake RS Emergency/Disaster Preparedness Training Workshop

We would like to give a HUGE THANK YOU to Paula Faddis and Linda Scadden and their amazing Emergency/Disaster Preparedness committee:
Shelter - Karen Siirola and Nancy Weitzel 
Water - Liz Anderson and Missy Peck 
Sanitation - Doris Woffinden and Mary Pinkham 
Alternative Cooking - Sherri Cook and Rain Jeppson

We all had a wonderful, informative, and empowering night of TRAINING.  Our greatest provident living hopes (thus far) for 2011 are:

1) That the four participants from each ward that were invited to attend by their ward RS presidents will be excited to return to their home wards and help strengthen the sisters in the areas that they were trained in under the direction received from her RS presidency.

2) That we may unite as a stake in helping each woman feel that they can live providently, achieve goals that they have set for their own families, and that we are all in this together to help, love, serve and support one another.

3) As of 1-11-11, there are now 100 more women in our stake that have a lot more knowledge in one of our four areas of focus: shelter, water, sanitation and alternative cooking, than they had before.  Let's have that number be in the 1000's before the end of the year.


With our love, Lisa Hunt, Barbara Chamberlain, Jocelyn Walker, Kay Sampson and Brooke Ochs
