An email from a friend! One we should all read.

From Elder Nelson's training to Bishops and Stake Presidents in Beaver, Utah last Saturday.

• The worst is yet to come with the economy. We may not see it turn in our time. He and other church leaders met with 5 world renowned economists and after the meeting felt that these 7 things will help us survive:

1. Pay an honest tithe. The Lord promises great blessings to those that do.
2. Learn to say, "We can't afford it".
3. Take care of our bodies. Exercise, eat right, get enough rest. With health care costs up in the air we must take care of ourselves by living every word of the Word of Wisdom so we hopefully don't have to use health care.
4. Don't assume that past investments will give the same return in the future as they did in the past. Be wise in your investments.
5. Stay home, travel less. Don't make un-needed trips.
6. Spend less than you earn.
7. Never for any reason take out a second mortgage on your home.

• Avoid pornography at all costs as if it were a deadly plauge.
• Food Storage.
• Have hope inspite of the times, these are all signs and happenings that preceed the Second Coming of Christ and if we are prepared we don't have any need to fear.
