Car Kits: A couple of pairs of safety glasses and gloves for working on the car. Find your jack and tools to change a tire and check them out and learn how to use them.

Family Preparation: Pick the smallest debt listed last week and make a dedicated effort to pay it off. Apply any spare dollars to this goal. When it is paid off, apply its payment amount plus what the next smallest one requres and any spare dollars to pay off the next smallest one. Continue this plan until the Prophet's counsel to be debt free is accomplished.

Spiritual Preparation: Gather your family together for family prayer morning and evening. "Pray in your families unto the Father, always in my name, that your wives and children may be blessed." (3 Nephi 18:21)


Food For Thought:

Here's another option for long term canned meat storage - dehydrated meat. You can find an excellent selection at Emergency Essentials.
