Are you temporally fit?

Dear Sisters,

Summer is fast approaching, and we have some fun preparedness activities planned!  We hope you will join us for these upcoming events through the summer and fall.  With schedule changes in many of our lives, and weather changes as well, summer can be a wonderful time to focus on some of our temporal goals. 

1.  Physical Fitness--You can work on cross-training and exercising some of those muscles that don't get used much during other seasons of the year.  Or, start a regular exercise program if you are not currently keeping one.

2.  Mental Fitness--Take time to read great books.  Get some recommendations from a spiritually faithful and well-read friend and read "out of the best books." (D&C 88:118)

3.  Financial Fitness--If you don't have one already, build a savings of $1000 that can be used as an emergency fund.  Pay off all credit card debt so that you never pay interest on your credit card spending.  If you have all that under control, work on getting three to six months' worth of your expenses into savings. 

4.  Food Storage Fitness--(You're making awesome progress in this department!)  If you haven't already, start with three days' worth of emergency food and water supplies.  Next, procure two weeks' worth of water and food (that you normally eat, say, from the grocery store).  If you have accomplished that, then expand your resources to one month, then three months...six months...and on as best you can. 

You know all of this requires a sacrifice of time, effort and money, but it will be worthwhile, and that is a promise!
