This week for our 72-hour kits, add a set of scriptures. You can ask the missionaries for a paperback Book of Mormon; they're really lightweight. Also add a small vial of consecrated oil. If you do not know how to obtain this, ask your Home Teacher. It may be a good idea to put the vial into a plastic baggie so that if it leaks, it won't ruin the other contents of the kit.
For long-term storage this month, we are building our supply of rice. You can buy #10 cans of it from the cannery/Bishop's Storehouse, or if your family is a little smaller like mine, buy two or three 5 lb. bags of rice from the grocery store (that might be a little easier to get to). Keep in mind, we are gradually building our food supply. You don't have to rush out and spend $300 on rice. Build your food storage in a way that is manageable for your budget and time. I bought one 5 lb. bag at the beginning of the month, and will buy another one at the end.
How's your 3 month supply coming? Remember, 3 month supply contains food you regularly eat. This can also be gradually built by buying a few extra boxed meals or jars of peanut butter at the grocery store.
