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)

Spiritual Preparation: Read "The Worth of Souls" by Harold G. Hillam, Ensign May 2005 p 32.

When we see the effect one person can have..., it perhaps is no wonder that the Lord reminded us "Remember the worth of souls".


Food For Thought:

When we were living in Washington State, we were able to go to the wet-pack cannery and get wonderful Turkey Chunks and because meat was on the list this week we decided to go down and investigate the wet-pack cannery in Saint George to see if that was available. Unfortunately, the Cannery there has discontinued family canning of meat and poultry other than what's in Chicken Noodle Soup and Pork & Beans, which are still available. This is due in part to the government requiring a full time in-house inspector on staff for meat canning which the Cannery is unable to provide at this time.

The family wet-pack canning season runs between October and April so we are nearing the end of the season. When Apricots and Peaches come into season later, they are canned for the Church Welfare Program only - they are not available for sale unless they have an overage, but they still need people to come and can for the Church program. The next family canning schedule will be available in August. The first item for family canning this fall will be Pears.

Demand has dropped off so now they only run one session which is 9am to 3pm but you can get done as early as 12 noon depending on how many people show up. Normally you can only buy what you are canning that day but sometimes there are leftovers from previous canning sessions available for purchase. A list is posted in the front office showing what is available.

If you are bringing a group, you are required to make reservations no less than 3 weeks in advance, however if you are going as an individual or a couple you are welcome to call (435) 673-3491 first thing in the morning and talk to Bob Redfern to see if they can fit you in that same day. See the sheet below for additional details on pricing, sizes, etc. If you go as a couple you can double the individual limit of 72 cans or pints per person.

The Cannery is located just off the Saint George Blvd. exit (directions below)

Take Exit 8 and go west on Saint George Blvd. approx. 1 block.

Turn right on N 1000 E St. and go 3 blocks.
Turn right on Red Hills Parkway and go approx. 4 blocks to N 1400 E.
The Cannery is the big white building with the four tall white silos next to it.
