Throughout our marriage, we've always tried to have food storage. We've never reached a year's supply, but we're working toward that. In college when money was really tight, after Cam was born (and my benefit checks were delayed for 2 months) and several other times during the years, we've needed to rely on food storage to feed our family. We have a strong testimony of food storage! We have an even stronger testimony of following the prophet.
When the First Presidency gave this counsel in the summer of 2007, we knew we needed to get serious about our three month supply. Food storage can be so overwhelming, and it's hard to know where to start. We talked to others, did a lot of research on our own, and figured out what would work best for our family. It took us about six months, and we learned a lot along the way. I've shared pieces of our plan with family and friends, and hopefully helped others get started with their own 3 month supply. We thought we'd share our plan here. We'll include recipes, resources, ideas, and hopefully have a few guest bloggers as well.
Whether in times of personal need or as a result of global events, we know \we'll be blessed as we follow the counsel of our prophet to be prepared.
For if we are prepared we shall not fear. (D&C 38:30)
