Family Preparedness

Hi Family!

It was so fun to be with you last week!

As we talked about preparedness and ways to motivate each other in this area, is was suggested we share ideas on our family blog.  Here are the talks by Elder Perry and President Eyring.  I think that, in all our busy schedules, spiritual and physical preparedness deserve high priority.  With all the knowledge and blessings we have, we don't want to be like the foolish virgins and be caught unprepared when trials and opportunities come.  I hope we will all study these talks and follow the promptings of the Spirit to prepare ourselves and our families more fully for the times to come.  As we do this, I believe it will help us see what is truly important in our lives, and help us live in a way that will fulfill our purposes here on earth.  Sure love each of you!!!
