Noah had to learn to fell trees, cut boards, make nails, build an ark, collect food for all kinds of animals, collect the animals and all this while enduring jeers from his peers and even his family. The world is changing, many are losing their jobs, and as the economic condition worsens people will return to a simple lifestyle. Skills that once seemed obsolete will become honored again. In addition to this, we all need to contribute to the group. What kind of tools and skills do you have that can contribute to the well being of your family or group?

“Men who can perform useful skills with their hands will be in increasing demand. Handymen, farmers, builders, tailors, gardeners, and mechanics can and will prove a real blessing to their families and their fellowmen.” Ezra Taft Benson, “Prepare Ye”
“The Savior saw our day as the beginning of sorrows when many would be deceived. He told of wars, famines, earthquakes, and pestilences. This describes the world today. It is essential that the women for the church take hold of their responsibility to be prepared in all things. As leaders of the RS, you can help every sister in every home in every ward and branch become self-reliant. They should be laying up in store money, food, water, and skills that will sustain their families in perilous times.” Gen. RS Pres. Julie Beck, Sept 30th, 2007
