A Sanitation Kit in EVERY Household...

Sanitation Kit Contents

It has been over a month since I last posted any new information, and for that I must repent (and yes I will).  The stake's emergency preparedness plans are in full swing  with several goals that have been set.  Of those goals, the first and most urgent is for the members of each ward/neighborhood to procure for their homes a sanitation kit that is portable and usable in the event of an emergency, and to do so by the end of March.  Yes I know this doesn't sound very appealing, but nevertheless, it is a critical part of your preparation.  Sis. Jorgensen and I have taken the challenge to assemble a sanitation kit and found that the materials needed to do so are easily purchased and/or gathered from items in your own home.  The stake has provided us with a convenient list of the items necessary to build one of these kits and as Sis Jorgensen and I put ours together, we found it can be easily stored in very little space.  I have included at the top part of this blog, a tab that will take you to a link where you can download a copy of this list.  Please take a few minutes and look over the list, then begin to plan how you will assemble your kit, and do so by the end of this month.  In the days to come, I'll attempt to itemize what we paid for our items or estimate the cost of those items that we already had around our house.  I'll post that as soon as I get it put together. 

Brothers and sisters.  I exhort you to follow the counsel our stake leadership has provided us to continue making preparations for the unexpected.  Early in this dispensation, the Lord instructed his people to “organize yourselves; … establish a house, even … a house of order, a house of God” (D&C 88:119).  While I believe he was generally referring to getting our spiritual houses in order, I also believe that we also need to get our temporal houses in order, that we might weather any storm that comes our way with knowledge and faith that we have done all we can and thereby have the expectation of the Lord stepping in and helping us to emerge victorious.  May the Lord bless you in your efforts brothers and sisters is my prayer. Amen.
