Food Storage Recipe: Wheat Berry Salads

By Emergency Essentials

My favorite method, which just happens to be perfect when you don’t have electricity, cooking fuels, or time to spend over the stove (like in emergency situations), is to let the berries soak overnight in a thermos of hot water.

Depending on what type of grain you’re using, it could take 30 to 60 minutes to soften. You could also use your crockpot.

Mosiah 7–10: Seer

It’s been a month since the last general conference. The messages are available to go back and read, and we’ve had an opportunity to let their words soak in. The last two weeks in Come, Follow Me also cover a conference of sorts when King Benjamin spoke to his people. Now, along with our study of Mosiah 7–10, we’ll relate this message on the power of prophets to the most recent words from our living prophets and general authorities today.

7: "To Be a Greater Follower of Righteousness" (Genesis 12–17; Abraham 1–2)
