This last Wednesday the Activity Day leaders had a great project for the girls. They talked about emergency preparedness and then put together little 72-hr kits to get the girls started. The kits included things like granola bars, raisins, beef jerky, cup-o-noodles, trail mix and even a small first aid kit. This is a good example for us all. It only takes a little bit of effort to get something put together, even if it's only something small.
A great quote was included in the kit:
"'Self-reliance means using all of our blessings from Heavenly Father to care for ourselves and our families and to find solutions for our own problems.' Each of us has a responsibility to try to avoid problems before they happen and to learn to overcome challenges when they occur ...
"How do we become self-reliant? We become self-reliant through obtaining sufficient knowledge, education, and literacy; by managing money and resources wisely, being spiritually strong, preparing for emergencies and eventualities; and by having physical health and social and emotional well-being." -Julie B. Beck, Relief Society general president, Ensign Jan. 2010
