Own a tent, says Julie Beck

You can watch Sister Julie Beck some training videos for stake Relief Society presidencies.

"I have a sense and a feeling as we have watched some of these disasters in the world, that this is a time for us to learn and prepare from these experiences. Sister Thompson gave an testimony of that, and the preparation happens in our own homes. There are not enough tents in the world to furnish every person with a tent unless the members of the church have a tent in their own homes...a simple thing like that. And then the storehouse is pressed down, heaped over and running over in our own homes. 


Some of you have student apartments, how prepared are you? If an earthquake or economic disaster happened, would you have enough water to drink for 24 hours? would you be able to get by until help could come to you? 


Those are the kind of the things we need to be thinking about in our day and time, the Lord expects us to do our little part and then He can bring on the miracles and then we don't need to fear."

  1. Thanks for posting this quote by Sister Beck.Those of us who were blessed enough to see her video are perplexed that it is not available to use as a resource for our family members who were not into preparedness in 2011. Some were newlyweds and as they are asking questions and are trying to learn we were wanting this quote. Your source, so far is the only one we could find on the net.. We appreciate very much that yours is still available.
    (We have a printed copy of what you have but finding it on your site was refreshing, and proof that we were not "up in the night" about her talk.)
