SUMMARY:2024 November Preparedness - Storage & Fruit Trees
DESCRIPTION:Hello Gilbert Stake! \nNovember 2024 is here. Along with our winter gardens\, trees are another consideration. Citrus trees and several varieties of fruit trees will grow in our area. And\, in case your were wondering\, we live in planting zone 9b. If you don’t know what a planting zone is\, this explanation is from Moon Valley Nursery’s website: \n“The USDA Plant Hardiness Zone Map is a useful tool that provides information about the climatic conditions in different regions of the United States. The map is based on average annual minimum temperatures and divides the country into 13 different zones\, each with a unique set of temperature ranges. \nThe USDA Plant Hardiness Zone Map is essential for those who want to select the appropriate plants for their location. Each zone is assigned a number\, from 1 to 13\, with Zone 1 being the coldest and Zone 13 being the warmest. Plants are labeled with their corresponding hardiness zone\, indicating the minimum temperature they can tolerate.” \nKnowing the planting zone is important if you want to be successful in growing fruit trees. Attached is a guide for the varieties rated for our area. There are several varieties not listed in the list\, but if your local nursery is selling them\, they should be fine. We have a couple of tangerine trees\, orange trees\, and a grapefruit that have done very well for many years. \nHere is a link again\, for the planting guide for Maricopa County: \nVegetable Planting Calendar for Maricopa County (arizona.edu) \nHere’s a thought from Elder D. Todd Christofferson from our last General Conference: \nIn the end\, burying our weapons of rebellion against God simply means yielding to the enticing of the Holy Spirit\, putting off the natural man\, and becoming “a saint through the atonement of Christ the Lord.” It means putting the first commandment first in our lives. It means letting God prevail. If our love of God and our determination to serve Him with all our might\, mind\, and strength become the touchstone by which we judge all things and make all our decisions\, we will have buried our weapons of rebellion. By the grace of Christ\, God will forgive our sins and rebellions of the past and will take away the stain of those sins and rebellions from our hearts. In time\, He will even take away any desire for evil\, as He did with those Lamanite converts of the past. Thereafter\, we too “never [will] fall away.” \nBurying our weapons of rebellion leads to a unique joy. With all who have ever become converted to the Lord\, we are “brought to sing [the song of] redeeming love.” Our Heavenly Father and His Son\, our Redeemer\, have confirmed Their unending commitment to our ultimate happiness through the most profound love and sacrifice. We experience Their love daily. Surely we can reciprocate with our own love and loyalty. May we bury—very\, very deep—any element of rebellion against God in our lives and replace it with a willing heart and a willing mind. In the name of Jesus Christ\, amen. \nBurying Our Weapons of Rebellion \nTo help in your quest to follow the Prophets council\, here are suggestions to help build your storage in November: \nWeek 1: Vitamins & Minerals: Get extra C\, B complex\, calcium\, vitamin D and E< & iron. Multi-vitamins are great\, too.. \nWeek 2: Treat for baking! Cocoa\, nuts\, coconut\, butter\, chocolate chips\, etc. Watch for sales on sugar (tis the season\, holiday baking brings good sales). \nWeek 3: Rolled oats\, corn meal\, cream of wheat\, instant oatmeal. Stock up on boxed cereal too! \nWeek 4: Emergency auto Kits! Update it or make one\, remember food\, water\, night & warmth along with car repair items. \nAND… since we missed last month\, here is the list for October: \nWeek 1: 72 Hour Kit Week. Start it\, update it\, or complete it…just do something. Be sure to check clothing sizes. \nWeek 2: Wraps & bags…aluminum foil\, garbage bags with twist ties\, freezer bags\, saran wrap\, wax paper\, etc. \nWeek 3: Do something with those apples! Pie filling\, applesauce\, juice\, apple butter\, jam and jelly\, or dehydrate. \nWeek 4: Stock up on vinegar\, powdered eggs & powdered cheese. \nMay the Lord bless you in your endeavors to increase your personal spirituality and live providently. \nNeed help with any or all of these topics\, no problem. Just reach out to your ward’s Preparedness Specialist. If you ward does not have a specialist\, contact your ward Elders Quorum President and/or your Relief society President. \n  \nCitrus Fruit \nZone 9 is a marginal climate for citrus\, as an unexpected cold snap will put an end to many\, including grapefruit and most limes. However\, there are a number of cold hardy citrus trees from which to choose\, including the following: \n\nOwardi satsuma mandarin orange (Citrus reticulata ‘Owari’)\nCalamondin (Citrus mitis)\nMeyer lemon (Citrus x meyeri)\nMarumi kumquat (Citrus japonica ‘Marumi’)\nTrifoliate orange (Citrus trifoliata)\nGiant pummelo (Citrus pummel)\nSweet Clementine (Citrus reticulata ‘Clementine’)\n\nTropical Fruits \nZone 9 is a bit too chilly for mango and papaya\, but several tropical fruits are hardy enough to tolerate the area’s cool temperatures. Consider the following choices: \n\nAvocado (Persea americana)\nStarfruit (Averrhoa carambola)\nPassionfruit (Passiflora edulis)\nAsian guava (Psidium guajava)\nKiwifruit (Actinidia deliciosa)\n\nOther Fruits \nZone 9 fruit tree varieties also include several hardy varieties of apples\, apricots\, peaches\, and other orchard favorites. The following have been bred to thrive without long chilling periods: Apples \n\nPink Lady (Malus domestica ‘Cripps Pink’)\nAkane (Malus domestica ‘Akane’)\n\nApricots \n\nFlora Gold (Prunus armeniaca ‘Flora Gold’)\nTilton (Prunus armeniaca ‘Tilton’)\nGolden Amber (Prunus armeniaca ‘Golden Amber’)\n\nCherries \n\nCraig’s Crimson (Prunus aviam ‘Craig’s Crimson’)\nEnglish Morello sour cherry (Prunus cerasus ‘English Morello’)\nLambert cherry (Prunus aviam ‘Lambert’)\nUtah Giant (Prunus aviam ‘Utah Giant’)\n\nFigs \n\nChicago Hardy (Ficus carica ‘Chicago Hardy’)\nCeleste (Ficus carica ‘Celeste’)\nEnglish Brown Turkey (Ficus carica ‘Brown Turkey’)\n\nPeaches \n\nO’Henry (Prunus persica ‘O’Henry’)\nSuncrest (Prunus persica ‘Suncrest’)\n\nNectarines \n\nDesert Delight (Prunus persica ‘Desert Delight’)\nSun Grand (Prunus persica ‘Sun Grand’)\nSilver Lode (Prunus persica ‘Silver Lode’)\n\nPears \n\nWarren (Pyrus communis ‘Warren’)\nHarrow Delight (Pyrus communis ‘Harrow Delight’)\n\nPlums \n\nBurgundy Japanese (Prunus salicina ‘Burgundy’)\nSanta Rosa (Prunus salicina ‘Santa Rosa’)\n\nHardy Kiwi Unlike regular kiwi\, hardy kiwi is a remarkably tough plant that produces clusters of small\, tangy fruits not much larger than grapes. Suitable varieties include: \n\nHardy red kiwi (Actinidia purpurea ‘Hardy Red’)\nIssai (Actinidia ‘Issai’)\n\nOlives – Olive trees generally require warmer climates\, but several are well-suited for zone 9 gardens. \n\nMission (Olea europaea ‘Mission’)\nBarouni (Olea europaea ‘Barouni’)\nPicual (Olea europaea ‘Picual’)\nMaurino (Olea europaea ‘Maurino’)\n\nInformation retrieved online from: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/garden-how-to/gardening-by-zone/zone-9-10-11/growing-fruit-trees-in-zone-9.htm  \nShare this:\n				Share on Facebook (Opens in new window)\n				Facebook\n			\n				Share on X (Opens in new window)\n				X\n			\n				Share on LinkedIn (Opens in new window)\n				LinkedIn\n			\n				Share on WhatsApp (Opens in new window)\n				WhatsApp\n			\n				Email a link to a friend (Opens in new window)\n				Email\n			\n				Print (Opens in new window)\n				Print

SUMMARY:2024 September-Preparedness and Winter Garden Ideas
DESCRIPTION:Hello Gilbert Stake! \nWelcome to September! 2024 is going fast and it’s time to consider what to do with your garden. At this point there are a couple of options; you can winterize it and wait for spring\, or you can prepare for the wonderful cooler weather veggies. \nIf you choose to not have a garden in the winter\, here are some things you can do to have the garden bed ready for next year. \nHow to Winterize Your Vegetable Garden \n\nHarvest any remaining crops.\nCompost for best results.\nAdd nutrients.\nTake notes to get ready for next year.\n\nIf you choose to keep your garden going\, this is a great time to plant lettuces and cabbage family plants. Of course\, if you can protect your plants you can keep many of the summerish vegetables all winter. \nHere is a link for the planting guide for Maricopa County: \nVegetable Planting Calendar for Maricopa County (arizona.edu) \n  \nThe Principle of Preparation \nHere’s some thoughts on preparedness from our church leaders: \nMembers of the Church have been counseled for many years to be prepared for adversity. Preparation\, both spiritual and temporal\, can dispel fear. \nElder L. Tom Perry taught\, “The need for preparation is abundantly clear. The great blessing of being prepared gives us freedom from fear.” \nWith the guidance of Church leaders\, individuals and families should prepare to be self-reliant in times of personal and widespread tragedy. \nAs members of the Church\, we know that it is our responsibility to provide for ourselves and our families both in good times and in bad. Part of fulfilling that obligation is making preparations now to face whatever challenges may come our way. \nPresident Spencer W. Kimball taught that we must be “anxiously engaged in a positive program of preparation.” It is not enough to hope for the best; we must prepare for it. \nHe explained\, “The Lord will not translate one’s good hopes and desires and intentions into works. Each of us must do that for himself.” \nEmergency Preparedness (churchofjesuschrist.org) \nTo help in your quest to follow the Prophets council\, here are suggestions to help build your storage in September: \nWeek 1: Vegetable Week! Green beans\, corn\, carrots\, mushrooms. Can\, freeze\, dehydrate or buy! \nWeek 2: Get those peas\, legumes\, dried potatoes\, and dried onions. Try dehydrating your own. \nWeek 3: Medical supplies: aspirin\, Tylenol\, Pepto Bismol\, Vicks. Whatever your family needs. Get children’s medicines too. \nWeek 4: Iodized salt. It seasons\, it preserves\, it’s a toothpaste\, and a de-icer! You never have too much. \nAND… since we missed last month\, here is the list for August: \nWeek 1: Back to school sales! Paper\, pencils\, crayons\, envelopes\, stamps\, journals. \nWeek 2: Baking powder\, baking soda\, corn starch\, vanilla\, bouillon cubes\, cooking spray\, yeast. \nWeek 3: Tomato Week! Salsa\, juice\, sauce\, whole\, chopped\, paste\, pizza and spaghetti sauce. \nWeek 4: Do some fruit canning or drying. If not…then buy it! Watch for sales! \n  \nMay the Lord bless you in your endeavors to live providently. Need help with any or all of these topics\, no problem. Just reach out to your ward’s Preparedness Specialist. If you ward does not have a specialist\, contact your ward Elders Quorum President and/or your Relief society President. \n  \nShare this:\n				Share on Facebook (Opens in new window)\n				Facebook\n			\n				Share on X (Opens in new window)\n				X\n			\n				Share on LinkedIn (Opens in new window)\n				LinkedIn\n			\n				Share on WhatsApp (Opens in new window)\n				WhatsApp\n			\n				Email a link to a friend (Opens in new window)\n				Email\n			\n				Print (Opens in new window)\n				Print

SUMMARY:July-Preparedness Follow-up and Home Canning Ideas
DESCRIPTION:Hello Gilbert Stake! \nWelcome to July! 2024 is already half way gone. Let’s keep up the momentum! \n  \nFor the gardeners\, the harvest of many vegetables has begun. Tomatoes\, squash\, peppers\, onions are coming in and being used. I love the taste of the first tomato every year. The flavor is amazing compared to what is purchased in the stores. Now\, with the temperatures so high\, your garden may need some extra care and attention. Make sure to water and keep the ground moist (not saturated). Provide shade. We always put up some sun shade netting. It costs a little\, but we re-use it each year. Your plants will love the protection from the intense sun. \nFor some\, me included\, how do you know when a fruit or vegetable is ripe and ready to pick? I know I don’t like harvesting too soon\, but I also don’t like to wait until the fruit is past its prime. Here is a link to help with those harvesting questions. I found it very useful. \nGuidelines for Harvesting Vegetables | Piedmont Master Gardeners \n  \nIf you’re into canning your bountiful harvest\, whether from your personal garden or the farmers market\, now is a great time to start. \nMy wife and I made a trip to the farmers market and came home with apples\, green grapes and cherries. We like to mix them all together when we juice them so we get an amazing flavorful blend. And just like last month with the peaches\, when the juice was done we whipped up the pulp in the blender and have a fantastic blend of apple\, grape and cherry sauce. We don’t add anything to the blend\, just the fruit and it is yummy. It is important to note\, we cored the apples\, pitted the cherries removed the grapes from the vines prior to juicing. That way the only thing left is pure pulp. The juice was processed in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes and the sauce processed for 20 minutes. \n  \nHere is a link to a steamer juicer very similar to the one we use. We purchased a couple of these last year and gave them to family members for Christmas. They are really easy to use and work great. \nAmazon.com: Cook N Home Basics Canning Juice Steamer Extractor With water/cooking pan\, juice pan\, strainer/loading pan\, lid\, and hose with clamp \, 11-Quart\, Mirror Satin\, Stainless Steel: Mehu Liisa Steam Juicer: Home & Kitchen \n  \nHere is some great thoughts from Elder Bednar to help us in our spiritual preparedness. \n“Some Church members opine that emergency plans and supplies\, food storage\, and 72-hour kits must not be important anymore because the Brethren have not spoken recently and extensively about these and related topics in general conference. But repeated admonitions to prepare have been proclaimed by leaders of the Church for decades. The consistency of prophetic counsel over time creates a powerful concert of clarity and a warning volume far louder than solo performances can ever produce. \nJust as challenging times reveal inadequacies in temporal preparedness\, so too the maladies of spiritual casualness and complacency inflict their most detrimental effects during difficult trials. \n… \n  \n“Thus saith the Lord God: I will give unto the children of men line upon line\, precept upon precept\, here a little and there a little; and blessed are those who hearken unto my precepts\, and lend an ear unto my counsel\, for they shall learn wisdom; for unto him that receiveth I will give more.”11 \nI invite each of us to “consider [our] ways”12 and “examine [ourselves]\, whether [we] be in the faith; [and] prove [our] own selves.”13 What have we learned during these recent months of lifestyle adjustments and restrictions? What do we need to improve in our lives spiritually\, physically\, socially\, emotionally\, and intellectually? Now is the time to prepare and prove ourselves willing and able to do all things whatsoever the Lord our God shall command us.” \n  \nWe Will Prove Them Herewith\nBy Elder David A. Bednar \nOf the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles \n  \nTo help in your quest to follow the Prophets council\, here are suggestions to help build your storage in June: \nWeek 1: Jams or jellies. Make a batch of freezer jam or try making some cooked variety. \nWeek 2: Water jugs or buy some bottled water. Don’t forget bleach or other water purification. \nWeek 3: Ready dinners: ravioli\, pasta\, oriental\, boxes or frozen. Get what your family will eat. \nWeek 4: Canned goods! Chili\, soups\, canned meats\, beans\, etc. Buy what your family likes. \n  \nMay the Lord bless you in your endeavors to live providently. \n  \nNeed help with any or all of these topics\, no problem.

SUMMARY:2024 June: Preparedness Follow-up and Home Canning
DESCRIPTION:Hello Gilbert Stake! \nWelcome to June! We hope and pray your journey in living providently is progressing each month. \nFor those that put gardens in\, the harvest may have already begun for some of the fruits and vegetables. If it looks like you will have more than you can readily use\, what will you do with the extra? Now is the time to make those preparations. Of course\, you can share your bounty with family\, friends and neighbors. It has been our experience that some of our friends and neighbors can only use so much and then they are maxed out. So\, if you have not already planned for it\, consider home canning. This is great so you can utilize the fruits and vegetables\, harvested in their season\, in the coming months and even years. \nFor those interested\, but don’t know how\, here is a great article on how to home can. It really is easier than you think. \nhttps://www.allrecipes.com/article/how-to-can-food/ \nIf you’re still a bit nervous about it\, we’re sure you can find someone in your ward that will help you. Those that are already set up to home can\, it is a good idea to check your equipment and supplies ahead of time. If you will be pressure canning\, make sure to check the seal in your lid to make sure it is in good shape. \nWe had access to a family members peach tree that was loaded with early peaches. So\, we washed\, pitted them and juiced them. Now we have yummy peach juice on our shelf along with the apple and grape juice. What to do with the left over pulp after juicing? Well after a brief whip in the blender we now have peach sauce next to our apple sauce. The juice and the sauce were processed in a water bath canner. \nProvident living is two sided\, temporal and spiritual. We need to strive to stay balanced between both aspects. Elder Robert D. Hales Of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles stated: \n“…our children are growing up in times of economic uncertainty. Just as our grandparents and great-grandparents learned vital lessons through economic adversity\, what we learn now\, in our present circumstances\, can bless us and our posterity for generations to come. \n…Our success is never measured by how strongly we are tempted but by how faithfully we respond. We must ask for help from our Heavenly Father and seek strength through the Atonement of His Son\, Jesus Christ. In both temporal and spiritual things\, obtaining this divine assistance enables us to become provident providers for ourselves and others. \nWhat is a provident provider? \n All of us are responsible to provide for ourselves and our families in both temporal and spiritual ways. To provide providently\, we must practice the principles of provident living: joyfully living within our means\, being content with what we have\, avoiding excessive debt\, and diligently saving and preparing for rainy-day emergencies. When we live providently\, we can provide for ourselves and our families and also follow the Savior’s example to serve and bless others.” \n“Becoming Provident Providers Temporally and Spiritually” (Ensign\, May. 2009) \n  \nTo help in your quest to follow the Prophets council\, here are suggestions to help build your storage in June: \n\nWeek 1: Safety week: Matches\, flashlight\, and dated batteries\, Don’t forget child-proof home devices also.\nWeek 2: Freeze-a-cheese: Grate and bag a whole 5 pounds. Use in casseroles and soups. Also by parmesan.\nWeek 3: Condiments: Mustard\, ketchup\, relish\, mayo\, Worcestershire pickles\, olives\, soy sauce\, salad dressings.\nWeek 4: White sales: Buy a thermal blanket\, some new pillows\, or new sheets. Buy a new sleeping bag or a tent.\n\nDon’t forget to weed and mulch your garden. Mulch will help the garden retain moisture longer and will be really helpful while it’s hot outside. Also\, consider putting up some netting to provide shade so the sun doesn’t burn the plants. \nNeed help with any or all of these topics\, no problem. Just reach out to your ward’s Preparedness Specialist. If you ward does not have a specialist\, contact your ward Elders Quorum President and/or your Relief society President. \n  \n¡Hola estaca Gilbert!\n \n¡Bienvenidos a junio! Esperamos y rezamos para que su viaje hacia una vida providente progrese cada mes.\n \nPara aquellos que cultivan huertos\, es posible que la cosecha de algunas frutas y verduras ya haya comenzado. Si parece que tendrá más de lo que puede utilizar\, ¿qué hará con el sobrante? Ahora es el momento de hacer esos preparativos. Por supuesto\, puede compartir su recompensa con familiares\, amigos y vecinos. Según nuestra experiencia\, algunos de nuestros amigos y vecinos solo pueden usar una cantidad limitada y luego se agotan. Entonces\, si aún no lo ha planeado\, considere hacer conservas caseras. Esto es genial para que puedas utilizar las frutas y verduras\, cosechadas en su temporada\, en los próximos meses e incluso años.\n \nPara aquellos interesados\, pero no saben cómo\, aquí hay un excelente artículo sobre cómo hacerlo en casa. Realmente es más fácil de lo que piensas.\n \nhttps://www.allrecipes.com/article/how-to-can-food/ \nSi todavía está un poco nervioso por esto\, estamos seguros de que puede encontrar a alguien en su barrio que lo ayude. Aquellos que ya están instalados en casa pueden hacerlo; es una buena idea revisar sus equipos y suministros con anticipación. Si va a enlatar a presión\, asegúrese de revisar el sello de la tapa para asegurarse de que esté en buen estado.\n \nTuvimos acceso a un melocotonero de un miembro de la familia que estaba cargado de melocotones tempranos. Entonces\, los lavamos\, los deshuesamos y les exprimimos. Ahora tenemos un delicioso jugo de durazno en nuestro estante junto con el jugo de manzana y uva. ¿Qué hacer con la pulpa que sobra después del jugo? Pues tras un breve batido en la batidora ya tenemos salsa de melocotón junto a nuestra salsa de manzana. El jugo y la salsa se procesaron en una envasadora al baño maría.\n \nLa vida providente tiene dos caras\, temporal y espiritual. Necesitamos esforzarnos por mantener el equilibrio entre ambos aspectos. El élder Robert D. Hales\, del Quórum de los Doce Apóstoles\, declaró:\n \n“…nuestros hijos están creciendo en tiempos de incertidumbre económica. Así como nuestros abuelos y bisabuelos aprendieron lecciones vitales a través de la adversidad económica\, lo que aprendamos ahora\, en nuestras circunstancias actuales\, puede bendecirnos a nosotros y a nuestra posteridad para las generaciones venideras.\n \n…Nuestro éxito nunca se mide por la fuerza con la que somos tentados\, sino por la fidelidad con la que respondemos. Debemos pedir ayuda a nuestro Padre Celestial y buscar fortaleza mediante la expiación de Su Hijo\, Jesucristo. Tanto en las cosas temporales como en las espirituales\, obtener esta asistencia divina nos permite convertirnos en proveedores providentes para nosotros y los demás.\n¿Qué es un proveedor previsor?\n \nTodos nosotros somos responsables de sustentarnos a nosotros mismos y a nuestras familias\, tanto de manera temporal como espiritual. Para proveer con previsión\, debemos practicar los principios de una vida providente: vivir con alegría dentro de nuestras posibilidades\, estar contentos con lo que tenemos\, evitar deudas excesivas y ahorrar y prepararnos diligentemente para emergencias en tiempos difíciles. Cuando vivimos con providencia\, podemos sustentarnos a nosotros mismos y a nuestras familias y también seguir el ejemplo del Salvador para servir y bendecir a los demás”.\n“Convertirse en proveedores providentes temporal y espiritualmente” (Ensign\, mayo de 2009)\n \nPara ayudarlo en su búsqueda para seguir el consejo de los Profetas\, aquí hay sugerencias que le ayudarán a construir su almacenamiento en junio:\n \n\nSemana 1: Semana de la seguridad: fósforos\, linternas y pilas gastadas. No olvide también los dispositivos domésticos a prueba de niños. \nSemana 2: Congelar queso: Ralle y embolse 5 libras enteras. Úselo en guisos y sopas. También por parmesano. \nSemana 3: Condimentos: mostaza\, salsa de tomate\, condimentos\, mayonesa\, pepinillos encurtidos\, aceitunas\, salsa de soja\, aderezos para ensaladas. \nSemana 4: Rebajas blancas: Compra una manta térmica\, algunas almohadas nuevas o sábanas nuevas. Compra un saco de dormir nuevo o una tienda de campaña.\n\nNo olvides desyerbar y cubrir tu jardín con mantillo. El mantillo ayudará a que el jardín retenga la humedad por más tiempo y será de gran ayuda cuando hace calor afuera. Además\, considere colocar algunas redes para brindar sombra y que el sol no queme las plantas.  \nNecesita ayuda con alguno o todos estos temas\, no hay problema. Simplemente comuníquese con el especialista en preparación de su barrio. Si su barrio no tiene un especialista\, comuníquese con el presidente del cuórum de élderes de su barrio y/o con la presidenta de la Sociedad de Socorro. \nShare this:\n				Share on Facebook (Opens in new window)\n				Facebook\n			\n				Share on X (Opens in new window)\n				X\n			\n				Share on LinkedIn (Opens in new window)\n				LinkedIn\n			\n				Share on WhatsApp (Opens in new window)\n				WhatsApp\n			\n				Email a link to a friend (Opens in new window)\n				Email\n			\n				Print (Opens in new window)\n				Print

SUMMARY:2024 May: Preparedness Build up Storage -  Preparación Acumulación Almacenamiento
DESCRIPTION:Hello Gilbert Stake! \nWow! It’s May already! As this year is zooming by\, take a few minutes and do an inventory of what steps you have taken toward preparedness. Remember that as you prepare temporally\, that spiritual preparedness can occur at the same time. “Wherefore\, verily I say unto you that all things unto me are spiritual\, and not at any time have I given unto you a law which was temporal; neither any man\, nor the children of men; neither Adam\, your father\, whom I created. \n“Behold\, I gave unto him that he should be an agent unto himself; and I gave unto him commandment\, but no temporal commandment gave I unto him\, for my commandments are spiritual.” (D&C 29:34–35.) \nThe following link is a talk given by President Marion G. Romney about “The Celestial Nature of Self-reliance.”  \nhttps://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/general-conference/1982/10/the-celestial-nature-of-self-reliance?lang=eng#title1 \nHere are suggestion to help build your storage in May: \n– Week 1: Grains: wheat\, rye\, bran\, corn\, barley\, cracked wheat\, millet. Flour: wheat & white.   \n                 Get a hand grinder. \n– Week 2: Dry soups and soup mixes or make your own mix from dehydrated vegies. Boxes of  \n                 crackers; saltines\, graham\, etc. \n– Week 3: Jell-O gelatin. Pudding mixes \n– Week 4: Garden seeds: corn\, carrots\, green beans\, broccoli\, cauliflower\, peas\, onions\, tomatoes\,  \n                 squash\, zucchini\, melons \nIn October 2020 General Conference\, President Nelson taught us how to prepare by increasing our faith; “The Lord taught us how to increase our faith by seeking “learning\, even by study and also by faith. We strengthen our faith in Jesus Christ as we strive to keep His commandments and “always remember him.”  Further\, our faith increases every time we exercise our faith in Him. That is what learning by faith means. \n“I promise that as we create places of security\, prepare our minds to be faithful to God\, and never stop preparing\, God will bless us. He will “deliver us; yea\, insomuch that he [will] speak peace to our souls\, and [will] grant unto us great faith\, and … cause us that we [can] hope for our deliverance in him.” (President Russell M. Nelson\, “Embrace the Future with Faith\,” General Conference 2020) \nIf you need help with preparedness\, reach out to your ward’s Preparedness Specialist. If your ward does not have a specialist\, contact your ward Elders Quorum President and/or your Relief Society President. \n  \n¡Hola estaca Gilbert!  \n¡Guau! ¡Ya es mayo! A medida que este año se acerca\, tómate unos minutos y haz un inventario de los pasos que has tomado hacia la preparación. Recuerde que a medida que se prepara temporalmente\, esa preparación espiritual puede ocurrir al mismo tiempo. “Por tanto\, de cierto os digo que todas las cosas para mí son espirituales\, y en ningún momento os he dado ley que fuera temporal; ni hombre alguno\, ni hijos de hombres; ni Adán\, vuestro padre\, a quien yo creé.  \n“He aquí\, yo le concedí que fuera su agente; y le di mandamiento\, pero ningún mandamiento temporal le di\, porque mis mandamientos son espirituales”. (DyC 29:34–35.)  \nEl siguiente enlace es un discurso pronunciado por la presidenta Marion G. Romney sobre “La naturaleza celestial de la autosuficiencia”.  \nhttps://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/general-conference/1982/10/the-celestial-nature-of-self-reliance?lang=eng#title1  \nAquí hay sugerencias para ayudarlo a construir su almacenamiento en mayo:  \n\nSemana 1: Cereales: trigo\, centeno\, salvado\, maíz\, cebada\, trigo partido\, mijo. Harina: trigo y blanca. Consigue una amoladora manual. \nSemana 2: Sopas secas y mezclas de sopas o haga su propia mezcla con verduras deshidratadas. Cajas de galletas saladas; galletas saladas\, graham\, etc. \nSemana 3: gelatina tipo gelatina. Mezclas de pudín \nSemana 4: Semillas de huerta: maíz\, zanahorias\, judías verdes\, brócoli\, coliflor\, guisantes\, cebollas\, tomates\, calabaza\, calabacín\, melones \n\nEn la Conferencia General de octubre de 2020\, el presidente Nelson nos enseñó cómo prepararnos aumentando nuestra fe; “El Señor nos enseñó cómo aumentar nuestra fe buscando “aprendizaje\, tanto por el estudio como también por la fe”. Fortalecemos nuestra fe en Jesucristo mientras nos esforzamos por guardar Sus mandamientos y “acordarnos de él siempre”. Además\, nuestra fe aumenta cada vez que ejercitamos nuestra fe en Él. Eso es lo que significa aprender por la fe.  \n“Prometo que a medida que creemos lugares de seguridad\, preparemos nuestras mentes para ser fieles a Dios y nunca dejemos de prepararnos\, Dios nos bendecirá. Él “nos librará; sí\, al grado de que él [hablará] paz a nuestras almas\, y [nos concederá] gran fe\, y… hará que [podamos] esperar nuestra liberación en él”. (Presidente Russell M. Nelson\, “Abraza el futuro con fe”\, Conferencia General 2020)  \nSi necesita ayuda con la preparación\, comuníquese con el especialista en preparación de su barrio. Si su barrio no tiene un especialista\, comuníquese con la presidenta del cuórum de élderes de su barrio y/o con la presidenta de la Sociedad de Socorro. \nShare this:\n				Share on Facebook (Opens in new window)\n				Facebook\n			\n				Share on X (Opens in new window)\n				X\n			\n				Share on LinkedIn (Opens in new window)\n				LinkedIn\n			\n				Share on WhatsApp (Opens in new window)\n				WhatsApp\n			\n				Email a link to a friend (Opens in new window)\n				Email\n			\n				Print (Opens in new window)\n				Print

SUMMARY:2024 April: Preparedness Follow-up & Gardening - Seguimiento de Preparación y Jardinería
DESCRIPTION:Hello Gilbert Stake! \nLast month we had an amazing Preparedness Fair. We hope you enjoyed it as much as we did. There were a lot of topics to investigate and learn from. We invite you to continue investigating the topics\, which can be found here: https://gilbertprepared.org  and apply them so they can help you in your efforts to follow the council of prophets to be self-sufficient and prepared. Here is some council from President Nelson: \n“My dear brothers and sisters\, these are the latter days. If you and I are to withstand the forthcoming perils and pressures\, it is imperative that we each have a firm spiritual foundation built upon the rock of our Redeemer\, Jesus Christ. So I ask each of you\, how firm is your foundation? And what reinforcements to your testimony and understanding of the gospel are needed? … We Have been promised that “if we are prepared we shall not fear.” This assurance has profound implications today. The Lord has declared that despite today’s unprecedented challenges\, those who build their foundations upon Jesus Christ\, and have learned how to draw upon His power\, need not succumb to the unique anxieties of this era.” –  The Temple and Your Spiritual Foundation” (Liahona\, Nov. 2021\, 93-96) \nTo help in your quest to follow the Prophets council\, here are suggestions to help build your storage in April: \n\nWeek 1: 72 Hour Kit Week. Start it\, update it\, or complete it…just do something. Be sure to check clothing sizes.\nWeek 2: Powdered milk (instant non-fat): 40 ounces will make 5 gallons. Get what your family will need and drink.\nWeek 3: Assemble an emergency sewing kit: thread\, pins\, needles\, buttons\, snaps\, zippers\, tape measure\, etc.\nWeek 4: Pasta: don’t forget the macaroni and cheese! Spaghetti\, macaroni\, egg noodles.\n\nHopefully\, during the month of March you were able to plan your garden and plant. If not\, don’t despair! It may be too late to plant seeds\, but you still have time to get some plants from a nursery and plant them. \nDid you know some vegetables and herbs like to be by each other? This is called companion planting. Here is a link to a website that talks about this subject. There are a lot of adds\, but the information is good. Or you can search it out on your own. \nCompanion Planting Chart and Guide for Vegetable Gardens (thespruce.com) \nGardening can be fun as a family\, and it helps you get connected to Mother Earth. We are always amazed at how much food one plant can provide. Remember\, don’t go so big with your garden that is becomes a major burden and an object of contempt. \nNeed help with any or all of these topics\, no problem. Just reach out to your ward’s Preparedness Specialist. If you ward does not have a specialist\, contact your ward Elders Quorum President and/or your Relief society President. \n  \n¡Hola estaca Gilbert! \nEl mes pasado tuvimos una increíble Feria de Preparación. Esperamos que lo hayas disfrutado tanto como nosotros. Había muchos temas para investigar y aprender. Te invitamos a seguir investigando los temas\, que puedes encontrar aquí: https://gilbertprepared.org  y aplicarlos para que te ayuden en tus esfuerzos por seguir el consejo de los profetas para ser autosuficiente y estar preparado. Aquí hay un consejo del presidente Nelson: \n“Mis queridos hermanos y hermanas\, estos son los últimos días. Si usted y yo vamos a resistir los peligros y presiones venideros\, es imperativo que cada uno de nosotros tengamos un fundamento espiritual firme construido sobre la roca de nuestro Redentor\, Jesucristo. Entonces les pregunto a cada uno de ustedes\, ¿qué tan firme es su base? ¿Y qué refuerzos se necesitan para su testimonio y comprensión del evangelio? … Se nos ha prometido que “si estamos preparados\, no temeremos”. Esta seguridad tiene profundas implicaciones hoy. El Señor ha declarado que a pesar de los desafíos sin precedentes de hoy\, aquellos que construyen sus cimientos sobre Jesucristo y han aprendido a recurrir a Su poder\, no necesitan sucumbir a las ansiedades únicas de esta era”. – El templo y vuestro fundamento espiritual” (Liahona\, noviembre de 2021\, págs. 93-96) \nPara ayudarlo en su búsqueda para seguir el consejo de los Profetas\, aquí hay sugerencias que le ayudarán a construir su almacenamiento en abril: \n\nSemana 1: Semana del kit de 72 horas. Inícielo\, actualícelo o complételo… simplemente haga algo. Asegúrese de comprobar las tallas de ropa. \nSemana 2: Leche en polvo (instantánea sin grasa): 40 onzas producirán 5 galones. Obtenga lo que su familia necesitará y beba. \nSemana 3: Armar un kit de costura de emergencia: hilo\, alfileres\, agujas\, botones\, broches\, cremalleras\, cinta métrica\, etc. \nSemana 4: Pasta: ¡no te olvides de los macarrones con queso! Espaguetis\, macarrones\, fideos al huevo.\n\nEsperemos que durante el mes de marzo hayas podido planificar tu jardín y tu planta. Si no\, ¡no te desesperes! Puede que sea demasiado tarde para plantar semillas\, pero aún estás a tiempo de conseguir algunas plantas de un vivero y plantarlas. \nSabías que a algunas verduras y hierbas les gusta estar juntas? A esto se le llama plantación complementaria. Aquí te dejo un enlace a una web que habla sobre este tema. Hay muchos anuncios\, pero la información es buena. O puedes buscarlo por tu cuenta. \nCuadro complementario de plantación y guía para huertos (thespruce.com) \nLa jardinería puede ser divertida en familia y les ayuda a conectarse con la Madre Tierra. Siempre nos sorprende la cantidad de alimento que puede proporcionar una planta. Recuerde\, no exagere tanto con su jardín que se convierta en una carga importante y en un objeto de desprecio. \nNecesita ayuda con alguno o todos estos temas\, no hay problema. Simplemente comuníquese con el especialista en preparación de su barrio. Si su barrio no tiene un especialista\, comuníquese con el presidente del cuórum de élderes de su barrio y/o con la presidenta de la Sociedad de Socorro. \nShare this:\n				Share on Facebook (Opens in new window)\n				Facebook\n			\n				Share on X (Opens in new window)\n				X\n			\n				Share on LinkedIn (Opens in new window)\n				LinkedIn\n			\n				Share on WhatsApp (Opens in new window)\n				WhatsApp\n			\n				Email a link to a friend (Opens in new window)\n				Email\n			\n				Print (Opens in new window)\n				Print

SUMMARY:2024 February Preparedness: Spiritual Strength\, Food Storage & Gardening - Fortaleza Espiritual\, Almacenamiento de Alimentos y Jardinería
DESCRIPTION:Hello Gilbert Stake! \nHopefully\, during the month of January everyone made the time to review individual and family spiritual preparedness. So\, you may be asking yourselves\, “what’s the next step?” The next step is to make a needed change. If there is more than one area you feel could be strengthened\, choose one and work on it. Take baby steps if needed. The most important thing is to do something. \nThe other topic was to review your food storage by what you actually use. Keep the list you developed handy and use it to plan. Now\, instead of just buying what you need for the week\, or 2 weeks\, buy a couple of extra items to put on the shelf for future use. By doing this\, you won’t be going crazy and breaking the bank. Pretty soon you will have built a nice pantry of supplies. \nHere is a suggestion to help build your storage in February: \n\nWeek 1: Juices: lemon\, orange\, grapefruit or powdered juices\nWeek 2: Peanut butter… get creamy and/or crunchy. (substitutions are ok if there are health issues) Don’t forget dehydrated butter\nWeek 3: Solid vegetable shortening and/or oils (vegetable\, corn\, canola\, olive\, peanut\, sesame)\nWeek 4: Personal products: Soap\, deodorant\, shampoo\, lotion\, shaving supplies\, feminine products\, toothbrushes\, etc.\n\nFebruary is also a great month to start planning for your spring and summer garden. If you have never had a garden\, start with something small and only put in vegetables that you actually like. If you like zucchini and have never grown it before\, one plant is probably more than sufficient. It is a heavy producer and one plant will normally meet all your personal needs and those of your neighbors. \nGardening can be fun and it helps you get connected to Mother Earth. Don’t go so big that becomes a major burden and an object of contempt. \nFor information on when to plant visit this University of Arizona website: \nVegetable Planting Calendar for Maricopa County (arizona.edu) \nNeed help with any or all of these topics\, no problem. Just reach out to your ward’s Preparedness Specialist. If you ward does not have a specialist\, contact your ward Elders Quorum President and/or your Relief society President. \nThe Gilbert and Val Vista Stakes have teamed up again for another Gilbert Community Preparedness Fair. This will be on Saturday\, March 23\, 2024 from 9 am to 12 pm. Plan on bringing the family. More information to follow. \n  \n¡Hola estaca Gilbert!  \nCon suerte\, durante el mes de enero todos se tomaron el tiempo para revisar la preparación espiritual individual y familiar. Entonces quizás os estéis preguntando: “¿cuál es el siguiente paso?” El siguiente paso es hacer un cambio necesario. Si hay más de un área que cree que podría fortalecerse\, elija una y trabaje en ella. Da pequeños pasos si es necesario. Lo más importante es hacer algo.  \nEl otro tema fue revisar el almacenamiento de alimentos según lo que realmente usa. Tenga a mano la lista que desarrolló y úsela para planificar. Ahora\, en lugar de simplemente comprar lo que necesita para la semana o para 2 semanas\, compre un par de artículos adicionales para guardarlos en el estante y usarlos en el futuro. Al hacer esto\, no te volverás loco ni arruinarás el banco. Muy pronto habrás construido una bonita despensa de suministros.  \nAquí hay una sugerencia para ayudarlo a construir su almacenamiento en febrero:  \n\nSemana 1: Jugos: jugos de limón\, naranja\, pomelo o en polvo \nSemana 2: La mantequilla de maní… se vuelve cremosa y/o crujiente. (las sustituciones están bien si hay problemas de salud) No olvides la mantequilla deshidratada \nSemana 3: Manteca vegetal sólida y/o aceites (vegetales\, maíz\, canola\, oliva\, maní\, sésamo) \nSemana 4: Productos personales: Jabón\, desodorante\, champú\, loción\, artículos de afeitado\, productos femeninos\, cepillos de dientes\, etc. \n\nFebrero también es un gran mes para empezar a planificar su jardín de primavera y verano. Si nunca has tenido un huerto\, empieza con algo pequeño y pon sólo las verduras que realmente te gusten. Si te gusta el calabacín y nunca lo has cultivado antes\, probablemente una planta sea más que suficiente. Es un gran productor y una planta normalmente cubrirá todas sus necesidades personales y las de sus vecinos.  \nLa jardinería puede ser divertida y te ayuda a conectarte con la Madre Tierra. No sea tan grande que se convierta en una carga importante y en un objeto de desprecio.  \nPara obtener información sobre cuándo plantar\, visite este sitio web de la Universidad de Arizona:  \nCalendario de siembra de hortalizas para el condado de Maricopa (arizona.edu)  \nNecesita ayuda con alguno o todos estos temas\, no hay problema. Simplemente comuníquese con el especialista en preparación de su barrio. Si su barrio no tiene un especialista\, comuníquese con el presidente del cuórum de élderes de su barrio y/o con la presidenta de la Sociedad de Socorro.  \nLas Estacas Gilbert y Val Vista se han unido nuevamente para otra Feria de Preparación Comunitaria de Gilbert. Esto será el sábado 23 de marzo de 2024 de 9 a 12 horas. Planee traer a la familia.

SUMMARY:2024 January: Preparedness Inventory - Inventario de Preparación
DESCRIPTION:Happy New Year Gilbert Stake! \nAs we start a new year\, let’s do some self-inventory as a stake. Take some time this month to look at your preparedness in perhaps a different way. This is a great family activity with all kinds of possibilities. We invite each member of our stake to do an inventory of temporal and spiritual needs. \nFor spiritual preparedness\, you may ask yourself these (or any other) questions: \n\nHow am I strengthening my spiritual foundation daily? Is it sufficient?\nHow are we strengthening our spiritual foundation as a family daily? Is it sufficient?\n\nFor temporal preparedness you may discuss and review your food storage as a family. This month take an inventory of what you have\, and what each family member uses throughout each day\, and how often or how much is used. Do this for at least a week\, but 2  weeks would be best for a better idea of what is being used. Feel free to go longer for an even better idea. \nAlthough it should be included\, this is more than just food. Think in terms of personal hygiene\, cleaning supplies\, gas in the car(s)\, sandwich bags\, diapers\, baby formula\, medication\, finances\, etc. (Don’t forget your pets!) Anything that is used by anyone during the inventory period. Having 800 pounds of wheat in the garage and under beds is fantastic\, but if that’s not what you use on a daily basis\, it falls very short of what you actually need. \nThe completed inventory will give guidance for becoming spiritually and temporally prepared. Here are the family inventory forms you can download and use: Food and Kitchen Supply Checklist.xlsx or Food and Kitchen Supply Checklist.pdf. \nIf you have questions or need help\, please reach out to your ward Preparedness Specialist. If your ward does not have a specialist\, contact your ward Elders Quorum President and/or your Relief Society President. \nOne last thing; mark your calendars for the next Gilbert Community Preparedness Fair on Saturday\, March 23\, 2024 from 9 am to 12 pm. Our Stake is\, once again\, teaming up with the Val Vista Stake for this amazing event. More information to follow. \nClick here to get to the Stake’s Prepare page. Click here for resources: gilbertprepared.org. \n¡Feliz año nuevo\, Estaca Gilbert!  \nAl comenzar un nuevo año\, hagamos un autoinventario como apuesta. Tómate un tiempo este mes para analizar tu preparación quizás de una manera diferente. Esta es una gran actividad familiar con todo tipo de posibilidades. Invitamos a cada miembro de nuestra estaca a hacer un inventario de las necesidades temporales y espirituales.  \nPara estar preparado espiritualmente\, puede hacerse estas (o cualquier otra) pregunta:  \n\n¿Cómo estoy fortaleciendo mi base espiritual diariamente? ¿Es suficiente? \n¿Cómo estamos fortaleciendo nuestra base espiritual como familia diariamente? \n¿Es suficiente? \n\nPara estar preparados temporalmente\, pueden discutir y revisar su almacenamiento de alimentos como familia. Este mes haz un inventario de lo que tienes y de lo que cada miembro de la familia usa a lo largo de cada día\, y con qué frecuencia o cuánto lo usa. Haga esto durante al menos una semana\, pero lo mejor sería 2 semanas para tener una mejor idea de lo que se está utilizando. Siéntase libre de continuar para tener una idea aún mejor.  \nAunque debería incluirse\, se trata de algo más que comida. Piense en términos de higiene personal\, artículos de limpieza\, gasolina en el(los) auto(s)\, bolsas para sándwiches\, pañales\, fórmula para bebés\, medicamentos\, finanzas\, etc. (¡No olvide a sus mascotas!) Cualquier cosa que sea utilizada por cualquier persona durante el inventario. período. Tener 800 libras de trigo en el garaje y debajo de las camas es fantástico\, pero si eso no es lo que usas a diario\, es muy inferior a lo que realmente necesitas.  \nEl inventario completo brindará orientación para prepararse espiritual y temporalmente. Estos son los formularios de inventario familiar que puede descargar y utilizar: Food and Kitchen Supply Checklist.xlsx o Food and Kitchen Supply Checklist.pdf. \nSi tiene preguntas o necesita ayuda\, comuníquese con el especialista en preparación de su barrio. Si su barrio no tiene un especialista\, comuníquese con la presidenta del cuórum de élderes de su barrio y/o con la presidenta de la Sociedad de Socorro. Una última cosa; marque en sus calendarios la próxima Feria de Preparación Comunitaria de Gilbert el sábado 23 de marzo de 2024 de 9 am a 12 pm. Nuestra Estaca\, una vez más\, se asocia con la Estaca Val Vista para este increíble evento. Más información a seguir.  \nHaga clic aquí para ir a la página de Preparar de Stake.

SUMMARY:2023 Gilbert Stake Emergency Response Survey
DESCRIPTION:Elder L. Tom Perry taught\, “The need for preparation is abundantly clear. The great blessing of being prepared gives us freedom from fear” (“If Ye Are Prepared Ye Shall Not Fear\,” Ensign\, Nov. 1995). Emergency Situations in our region include monsoons and other strong storms\, flooding\, extreme heat\, power outages\, train derailment\, Palo Verde Nuclear Power plant problems\, and public health incidents. In an effort to gather critical information needed to respond to possible local emergencies\, we would ask that each household use the link below to fill out this short survey.  This information will only be used in an emergency to identify key resources and skills that may be needed to help our wards\, stake & community. \nEmergency Response Survey \n \n(above QR code to this website event) \n\n\n\n\nShare this:\n				Share on Facebook (Opens in new window)\n				Facebook\n			\n				Share on X (Opens in new window)\n				X\n			\n				Share on LinkedIn (Opens in new window)\n				LinkedIn\n			\n				Share on WhatsApp (Opens in new window)\n				WhatsApp\n			\n				Email a link to a friend (Opens in new window)\n				Email\n			\n				Print (Opens in new window)\n				Print
