President Ezra Taft Benson said, "The revelation to store food may be as essential to our temporal salvation today as boarding the ark was to the people in the days of Noah...For the righteous, the gospel provides a warning before a calamity, a program for the crises, a refuge for each disaster. The Lord has warned us of famines, but the righteous will have listened to prophets and stored at least a year's supply of survival food" -Ezra Taft Benson - God, Family, Country: Our Three Great Loyalties

Sunday - Day 7: Everyday Emergency - YOU NEED WHAT? (For Those Not in Eastvale 1st Ward)

***EASTVALE 1 WARD MEMBERS - IMPORTANT NOTE FOR SUNDAY’S CHALLENGE: Today we are testing our Ward Emergency Plan. THIS scenario is intended for people who are participating in the 7 Day Challenge that are not members of the Eastvale 1st Ward. Please check your email for today’s limitations and tasks.


One of your family members calls you in a panic and says they need a treat for a party they are going to (they didn’t know about it, so don’t freak out at them!). You are stranded at home with no car, and can’t get to a store.

DEPENDING ON YOUR SCHEDULE… ONCE YOU MAKE THE TREAT YOU ARE OFFICIALLY DONE WITH THE 7 DAY CHALLENGE!

DAILY LIMITATIONS AND TASKS:
•For this day, and ALL days of the challenge: no spending money, no going to stores, and no restaurants.
•You have run out of fresh butter (you can use shelf stable alternatives).
•You have run out of eggs milk (you can use powdered).
•You have run out of fresh milk (you can use powdered).
•Make a delicious dessert.
•Once the dessert is ready, YOU ARE DONE!

ADVANCED REQUIREMENTS (for anyone who feels up to it)
•Try it with no perishables or pre-made mixes at all.

The goal with the 7 Day Challenge is to explore and evaluate how prepared we are for whatever emergencies may come our way. Try to participate to the EXTENT POSSIBLE with your entire family. It is okay to modify the scenario to fit the needs/schedule/circumstances of your family. And, if the most that you can do on a given day is walk through the scenario in your head and discuss it with your family – that’s ok! Anything is better than nothing!
Please make sure to:
*Fill out the Data Form on a Daily basis.
*Log onto www.EastvalePrepared.blogspot.com and answer the questions and leave comments. This will help us to analyze and understand the results of the 7 Day Challenge (everyone should do this - even if you are not a member of our ward, and even if you just walk through the scenario in your head).
*Participate in the ongoing discussion on Facebook (Eastvale Prepared). Share pictures, your experience, thoughts, ideas, and insights. Let’s learn from each other!
