Some of you may have heard about LIFE CAPS. They have been talked about on Good Morning Utah. They are the worlds first Survival Capsule. I have decided to try the 72 hour challenge. I will go without food for 3 days and use the Life Caps only with water, to simulate an emergency. I have 72hr kits in my house, but what if something happens while I am out? And my kids can take these, well eat the powder (sweet fruity flavored).
Life Caps are taken with water and are 100% absorbed in the blood stream in 20 minutes giving you a full feeling. I will be blogging my experience over the next few days.
You can find more info at . If all goes well and I like the results, I have survived, I will do a group order.

Downloads and files
About a month ago I started a GOOGLE GROUP. I post files and send out emails through it. You can find dozens of great files that range from Alcohol stoves to homemade cheese. I am finding new things and adding them. If you are interested in getting emails, you can join the group or you can just book mark and come back regularly. More the merrier!

Silly Silly People
Silly Silly People
Noah told the people that the rain was going to fall
Noah told the people they better get on the ball
Noah told the people to repent and turn to God
Cause God had, had it up to here and the wicked He would trod
Those Silly Silly People, why were they all so blind?
We certainly, would never be, a people of that kind!
Lehi told the people that Jerusalem would fall
Lehi told the people, but all they did was stall
Lehi told the people, to repent and turn to God
Cause God had, had it up to here and the wicked he would trod
Those Silly Silly People, why were they all so blind?
We certainly, would never be, a people of that kind!
Samuel told the people as he stood upon the wall
that Christ would come in five short years and save them from the fall
Samuel told the people to repent and turn to God
Cause God had, had it up to here and the wicked he would trod.
Those Silly Silly People, why were they all so blind?
We certainly, would never be, a people of that kind!
Our prophet tells the people that there's not much time at all
Our prophet tells the people, they better get on the ball
Our prophet tells the people to repent and turn to God
Cause God has had it up to here and the wicked he will trod.
So if we look into our pantry's and find that they are bare
and if our scriptures on the shelf, show not wear or tear.
Could we be silly people? Are we possibly that kind?
That we refuse to hear our God, could we be "Oh So Blind?"

THREE more banks failed on Friday
Three more banks failed on Friday with a combined 214 branches.
The total is now at 22 for the year. Wondering how this rates for the past 8yrs? check out this list.
Check out http://www.fdic.gov/bank/individual/.../banklist.html (sorry the embedded link isn't working) to see the banks that have failed since 2000.
Don't forget about CITIBANK who is going under as of today (I believe). Will the Fed bail them out? Tomorrow should be interesting! I hope everyone has been preparing for hard times. They are HERE!

Apple Box Ovens in Payson
Today we had the opportunity to go to another ward and give a presentation. Scott gives a monthly preparedness class and a gal comes from Payson. She was impressed by Scott's Emergency Heating and Cooking one and asked him to give the presentation to her ward. She asked me to give a presentation on the apple box ovens . We were delighted! If we can help one person get moving on emergency prep stuff our time is well worth spent.
I asked my SIL to babysit and my mom to help with the apple box direction and food prep. Thank you! We couldn't have done it without you! We showed up at the church at 8:30 and got the charcoal started and ready for the food. Kathleen, prepared a pizza(her stone was too big for the oven, so she improvised!), two loaves of bread and cinnamon rolls. YUM! Carb heaven! My mom and I had never tried cooking in an apple box oven in November. It was 29* when we got there...brrr! Luckily it warmed up to almost 50* before noon! (today * means degrees)
We first gave the demo of HOW you cook in it. Showed them all the pieces parts and got the ovens preheated. AS we got the food in Scott began his presentation. Scott, goes through so much work for his presentations. He researches untill he is blue in the face and can't see straight. Lucky for him, this was the second time for this presentation.
The pizza was done first. Kathleen, Elaine, and I were in the kitchen chatting and my mom came in and told me the pizza temp was down at 200*, The look on Kathleen's face was priceless! She said "but it is supposed cook at 385*. Five minutes later I brought in a perfectly cooked pizza. She breathed a breath of fresh air. She had not wittnessed the cooking. She didn't see it was doing fine at the 200*. Yes, it lost heat which is not optimal, but it cooked well at a lower temp, just longer. It was so worth the excitement I witnessed today on her face alone.
Next were the loaves of bread. I wish I had taken pictures of the food, as proof you can bake in a box. The bread was BEAUTIFUL! Kathleen, can really make bread! Yes, it took longer than the kitchen oven, but it was delish! The cinnamon rolls, were beautiful too. After the pizza, I believe everyone believed.
It is such a great feeling knowing you can cook with something so simple. Store some charcoal and your good to go. It is rewarding to see eyes light up in understanding.
Thank you Kathleen! Today was a great day!

President Packer and a gentle reminder
Recently President Packer spoke in his home ward. It has made the rounds in email, message boards, you name it. Apparently a sister took notes shorthand. She wrote the whole talk down. Below is a letter that was read in Sacrament meetings a little over four years ago. It is still valid today, just as it was then. Please, take care not to pass on things the General Authorites have asked us not to. Things get out of hand and changed etc.
Please don't send on this email (Pres. Packer's talk), even if you think it has not been changed. It is a matter of obedience. We were not there for the meeting. This was a message for his home ward. Not the world.
If you doubt this, feel free to call his receptionist at 801-240-1000 she will send you to a recorded message about this email that is circulating.
The First Presidency letter is below.

*************************************
May 13, 2004
To: General Authorities; Area Authority Seventies; Stake, Mission, and District Presidents; Bishops and Branch Presidents
(To be read in sacrament meeting)
Dear Brothers and Sisters:
Statements Attributed to Church Leaders
From time to time statements are circulated among members which are inaccurately attributed to the leaders of the Church. Many such statements distort current Church teachings and are often based on rumors and innuendos. They are never transmitted officially, but by word of mouth, e-mail, or other informal means.
We encourage members of the Church to never teach or pass on such statements without verifying that they are from approved sources, such as official statements, communications, and publications. Any notes made when General Authorities, Area Authority Seventies, or other general Church officers speak at regional and stake conferences or other meetings should not be distributed without the consent of the speaker. Personal notes are for individual use only.
True spiritual growth is based on studying the scriptures, the teachings of the Brethren, and Church publications.
Sincerely your brethren,
Gordon B. Hinckley
Thomas S. Monson
James E. Faust
The First Presidency
