October is Oat Month!
Practical Preparedness Pointers
Did you know that a family of 4 (2 adults, 2 children) needs to store 75 lbs. of oats for a one year supply? Did you know that to purchase 75 lbs. of oats from the church Cannery only costs you $22.50? It would cost you a lot more to take that same family to the movies ONE TIME than provide an entire YEAR worth of oats for your family! Make the cannery a priority this month!
Cannery Date: Wednesday, October 28th from 11-1

October Presidency Message
PRESIDENCY’S MESSAGE
“Learning to endure times of disappointment, suffering, and sorrow is part of on the job training. These experiences while often difficult to bear at the time, are precisely the kind of experiences that stretch our understanding, build our character, and increase our compassion for others.”
Joseph B. Wirthlin
It is in these times that we grow the most. I bear testimony that God lives. He has set a path for each of us to polish and perfect us. I testify that the Savior lives. His atonement makes it possible for us to be purified as we learn to keep the commandments, big or small. I know from my own experience that He can and will give us strength to rise above our trials.
