This article reminds me of a story told to us by our stake president over 20 yrs ago. His daughter and her family lived in Orlando Florida, he liked to go visit especially when the Space Shuttle was scheduled to launch. His daughter shared with him something that had happened with an assignment his granddaughter had at school. This was not too long after one of the big hurricanes had hit Florida, his granddaughter was in Jr. High and one of the teachers had assigned the class to do a report on how to prepare for a hurricane, his granddaughter in her report listed all the things they had at home, emergency supplies, food storage, etc., the teacher calls this young lady in and says to her, that's a nice report but I know you don't have all that stuff so why would you write that you did, she replied to the teacher that she wasn't exaggerating or lying, they really were prepared for an emergency. The teacher still didn't believe her and had her bring her mother to school. She explained to the teacher that everything her daughter had put in her report was true, that members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints are taught and encouraged to be prepared for emergency's, the teacher was totally amazed.
