So, our ward decided to hold a mock disaster to see how prepared we all are. I will have to admit that we (Greg and I and most of my friends) thought this was a lame idea. We had alot of fun making fun of this. I however do admit that if we really did have an emergency we would be glad that we held this little activity. To make this all seem real the preparedness board made phone calls to different individuals in the ward telling them that they would be dying or injured in this mock disaster. I got a call this week, and found out I was going to be injured in the mock earthquake. I thought surely this was a great excuse to spend the morning cuddled up in my bed. Because if I were really injured, hopefully someone would make me comfortable. So I was just trying to play along. This morning while I was enjoying my nice soft bed, Greg came in and informed me of our own little disaster in the kitchen. Our fridge had stopped working over night and Popsicles were dripping out onto the floor. Needless to say, I could no longer play injured in my bed. Thanks to some nice neighbors with some extra freezer and fridge space, nothing went bad but the Popsicles. We also found it handy to be able to use our trailer fridge to keep the essentials accessible. While cleaning out the fridge, I said to Greg, "well if we were in a disaster we would be scrambling to save our food just like this" Greg looked at me and replied "fortunately we are the only ones in the ward that don't have a working fridge" Thanks to this we now have the cleanest fridge in town!!
Moral of the story: I will never make fun of a mock disaster again!!
