Dry Pack update

The Lindon Cannery Home Food Storage Center (Dry Pack) is still closed. Unfortunately I couldn't get a possible re-open date from anyone.  In the interim we've been instructed to use the Springville Cannery. They are open Mon-Thurs. and canning is walk-in.  You can what you plan to purchase. Some items are pre-packaged, like potato pearls, so no canning is necessary for those items.  The Springville Cannery is located at:

1672 W 700 S
Springville, UT
(801) 491- 7359

Kroger Sauce packets .59 cents at Smith's

These are great food storage items as many only need water. For those who don't like all the space that spaghetti sauce takes - these are a great alternative. Then you can rotate your tomato sauce by making spaghetti sauce as needed. Great deal for .59 cents!

FHE ideas from LDS Living Magazine

FHE: Safety

SHAUNA GIBBY - 4 DAYS AGO

Thinkstock.

Conference Talk:

For more information on this topic read “We Follow Jesus Christ,” by Quentin L. Cook, Ensign, May
2010, 83–86.

Thought:

As we met with the families in Samoa [where a tsunami had hit], the significance of spiritually going to the higher ground, living a better life, and clinging to saving ordinances was abundantly clear.

(Quentin L. Cook, “We Follow Jesus Christ,” Ensign, May 2010, 83–86.)

Song:

“Sing Your Way Home,” Children’s Songbook, p.193.

Scripture:

The beloved of the Lord shall dwell in safety by him; and the Lord shall cover him all the day long, and he shall dwell between his shoulders. (Deuteronomy 33:12)

Lesson:

Read Alma 52:6 together as a family. Ask:

• How did Teancum have his men prepare to defend and protect themselves? 
• What are “places of resort”? (Fortifications.) 
• What “places of resort” do we have today to help us in the battle against evil?

Share these statements with your family:

“Our Heavenly Father has organized us into families for the purpose of helping us successfully meet the trials and challenges of life. . . . Our family is our safety place, our support network, our sanctuary, and our salvation.” (Rex D. Pinegar, “Home First,” Ensign, May 1990, p. 9.) “Our homes should be the strong place to which children can come for the anchor they need in this day of trouble and turmoil.” (Harold B. Lee, His Servants Speak, p. 154.)

Story:

Some time ago I participated in a survival camp with a group of young people in the High Sierra
Mountains. After three days of physically challenging and spiritually strengthening experiences, we faced one of the last activities—that of rappelling down an eighty-foot cliff.

When my turn came, I surveyed the setting. Overhead the sky was blue and clear. Over the edge of the cliff was a long, long way down, and I could not see the landing place below or the people who would welcome me or pick up the pieces. The instructor securely wrapped a strap around my legs and waist, placed the rappelling rope in my hand, and proceeded with instructions. It’s fascinating how much better we listen and concentrate when we know that what is being said really matters. He had previously explained the skill of rappelling and the importance of the safety rope with each individual who went down the cliff ahead of me, but when it was my turn, I listened more intently. I wanted to know all that he knew. I didn’t want any of the rules overlooked or minimized. If I followed the instructions, I’d get down safely; if not, I would suffer varying degrees of discomfort according to my ability to follow the instructions. I learned right away that his instructions were accurate when I experienced some discomforting rope burn on my hands.

Without looking down, but always looking up and straining to listen for instructions, advice, and
encouragement, I began my descent. About halfway down, as I pondered my position, I was reminded of the teachings of President George Q. Cannon: “When we went forth into the waters of baptism and covenanted with our Father in heaven to serve Him and keep His commandments, He bound Himself also by covenant to us that He would never desert us, never leave us to ourselves, never forget us, that in the midst of trials and hardships, when everything was arrayed against us, He would be near unto us and would sustain us. That was His covenant.” (Gospel Truth, 1987, p. 134.)

The Savior bound Himself to us. He is our safety rope. He throws out the lifeline—literally our
lifeline. Through obedience to His laws and commandments, we tie ourselves securely to Him. The rope I held was the safety rope. I had my agency. I could hang on or I could let go. Or if I wanted, I could take out my pocket knife, exercise my agency, and cut just one fine strand at a time. Surely one strand at a time would present no risk.

I likened the rope to the commandments. I can break one commandment at a time. Surely one commandment at a time won’t hurt. Would we ever consider letting go of a rope and challenging our ability to survive against the law of gravity? Or would we ignore the commandments of God and pit our resistance against the power of the adversary? If we choose to hold onto the rope, we are limited, restricted, curtailed, but through that very process our Father in heaven has said that He will make us free. Only after we are tried and tested can we be trusted with our inheritance as heirs to the kingdom of God. If we choose to let go of the rope and release ourselves from the laws and the commandments, we also choose the consequences, because even God obeys the law. Through disobedience to laws, we will fall.

(Ardeth Greene Kapp, My Neighbor, My Sister, My Friend, [Salt Lake City: Deseret Book, 1990], p. 32-34.)

Activity:

Play Walking Statues. Designate one person as the watchman and divide the people into two teams.

Send each team to opposite ends of the room and position the watchman in the center.

The object is to be there first to sneak up to the watchman and touch him without the watchman
seeing the person move.

When the watchman turns to face a team, that entire team becomes motionless like statues. If the
watchman detects any movement, the person who moved must go back to the end of the room.

The first person to touch the watchman without getting caught wins for his team and becomes the
new watchman for the next round of play.

(George and Jeane Chipman, Games! Games! Games! [Salt Lake City: Shadow Mountain, 1983], p. 57.)

ONLINE REGISTRATION FOR FAMILY CANNING

There are important details in this email. Please read it carefully. Anyone who registers for family canning is responsible to know this information. We are out of the office for the Labor Dayholiday until September 7^th.

Next week we will begin registering online for Family Canning – Chili con carne (with beans andground beef).  The registration links will be emailed on Tuesday, September 7^th around 9:00 am.  Save this email for future reference until the chili is finished. There will be a separate link for each day we are scheduling. When you receive the links, take time to read the instructions given on the website.

Chili will cost $30.00/case of 24, 14.5 oz cans. Canning days are Friday, October 22^nd, Tuesday, November 2^nd & Wednesday, November 3^rd. You can only sign up for one shift (2.5 hours) per person. There will be no humanitarian projects to take the place of working on the floor. If you will be helping others sign up, please plan ahead and have all of their information available. You will need their first & last name, email address, phone number and number of cases they want to order. All requested information must be valid.

We are trying something new and not setting a limit on how much you can order. We do ask you to carefully consider your order amount so you are purchasing what you order. (We reserve the right to set a limit if the demand is too great or we don’t have a full crew to help). 

 (The practice site is still available if you haven’t had a chance to see it or you want to refresh your memory on how the sign-up works. Remember this is only a practice link. The real sign-up is for Chili and won’t be available until you receive the next email on Tuesday, Sept. 7^th. If you are uncomfortable with the website, please find someone who can help walk you through it. To practice, enter the following link into your browser:  http://www.mysignup.com/nov_9_chicken. Please use the undo code to cancel any shift you schedule on the practice site so we will have enough places for all to become familiar with how it works.)

If all of this works, (online scheduling & no limits on orders) this might be the wave of the future.  It will be successful IF we get enough people scheduled to fill the shifts and IF we can produce the amount of product requested. If we don’t have the workers, we won’t have the product.

NO CHILI WILL BE AVAILABLE FOR PICKUP UNTIL THURSDAY, NOV 4TH AND FRIDAY, NOV 5^TH, 8AM - 3:30 PM.

You can go to the website at any time between Sept 7 - Oct 5th to schedule, cancel or move to another shift. You will need to remember the "Undo Code", created by you during the registration. This code allows only you to make changes to your schedule. (The Cannery, as administrators of this signup, can make changes or help with scheduling.)

We plan to send a reminder via email 5-7 days before your scheduled shift, but it is your responsibility to write down your schedule or return to the website to verify your shift. If you must make any changes (scheduling, cancels, moves) to your schedule after the closing date of October 5th, you will need to contact the Cannery at 801-785-0998 to request the change.

If a conflict arises after you have scheduled a shift, PLEASE DON’T FORGET TO CANCEL (“UNDO”) YOUR SHIFT SO OTHERS WILL HAVE THE CHANCE TO COME.  We will be tracking the "No Shows" (those who don't come and haven't cancelled).

Here we go!!!

COMING SOON:  ONLINE REGISTRATION FOR CHICKEN CHUNKS AND FROZEN BERRIES! STAY TUNED!!! You’ll know the details when we do.
