Brigham City South Stake Welfare/Self Reliance Newsletter – March 2023

Hearing the Words of Life

This weekend is General Conference. I have a particular soft spot in my heart for General Conference. In the summer when I turned 15, my family moved from Lake Zürich, Illinois, to Bountiful, Utah. In Illinois we were able to listen to all of the conference sessions on the radio. We considered it fortunate to be able to receive one session by TV. So, I was thrilled with the idea that living in Bountiful, I might be able to actually attend General Conference in person.

Are We Prepared?

As families, individuals, wards, and Stakes are we prepared for things that
could happen in our communities? Our area, i.e., covers Brigham City, southern
Idaho, a small part of Wyoming, and Cache Valley. Do you remember the Camp
Fire in Paradise, CA, in November 2018? This devastated the whole City of
Paradise, CA, in a matter of hours and days. Just last month on February 3, in
East Palestine, Ohio a train derailed carrying toxic hazardous materials, creating
problems for their residents, clean-up personnel, and environmental issues as a
result of the accident. The Department of Transportation has reported there are
over 800,000 thousand shipments each day of hazardous materials on roadways,
air, rail, and ships. Each of these disasters has the potential of happening in our
area.
