52 Weeks to Family Preparedness for Two

Week 24

In short, we are to learn the will of the Lord and do it. We are to

follow the model of Jesus Christ and be like Him......The

essential question of life should be the same one posed by Paul:

"Lord, what wilt thou have me to do?" (

Acts 9:6.) President

Food Storage and Preparedness Challenge Of The Week:

Food Storage Purchase

    2 lbs. Bouillon Cubes or powder.

Extra Item Purchase        

30 lbs. Beans

Flu Kit

                                Your Basic flu kit is complete. Modify

it, personalize it. Add to it what you think your family will need,

medications, more gloves, more masks, and get it finished this week.

Give a big sigh and pat on the back.

Family Preparation

            Have a practice disaster with family

members. Make it real and don't tell anyone in advance. See if your

evacuation plan works, can individuals work the windows to exit

from them? How long does it take?  What do you need to change?

Spiritual Preparedness   

Read the March 2008 Ensign- The

special issue about the Lord Jesus Christ.

Grinding Beans into Flour

When added to boiling water, bean flour thickens in only one

minute, and in three minutes is ready to eat. Bean Flours added

to baked goods increase vitamins and minerals and provide a

source of complete protein.

Bean flours store well and are great to have on hand for

"instant" soups, sauces, dips, and gravies. You can add bean

flour to almost anything you bake. They can be stored at room

temperature, but by refrigerating or freezing the flour, more

nutrients are retained.

You can grind beans in almost any grinder. Mills with

grinding stones cannot, however, grind soybeans, and must be

cleaned after each 2 cups of beans. You can do this by grinding

one cup of hard wheat after grinding the beans.
