San Jose, California, 1972:
Tom was going to school at San Jose State University and our financial resources were very limited. Our ward had a little grocery store where we could order cases of canned food at a reasonable price. We wanted to build up our year's supply of food to be prepared for whatever might come. We didn't have much money, so we ordered three cases of food: (1) Pork and Beans (2) Chicken Chow Mein and (3) Boxed Macaroni and Cheese.
Soon after we picked up our cases, we had bills come due that put an extra strain on our budget. Those three cases pulled us through. Each night we rotated through one of the three things for dinner. Over time there was no variety, but we had food to eat.
It was a simple thing to do based on our understanding that we needed to be prepared. We saw the immediate result of our obedience to the teachings. We survived.
