The Kandlers have always favored self-sufficiency and consider their spinning wheels and stock of wool part of their two-year supply. “We could still make clothing in an emergency,” Ruth says. “It’s part of our preparedness plan.” The Kandlers also grind their own wheat, and bake their own bread, and have gladly followed President Kimball’s admonition to plant a family garden. Most of the food they eat they grow themselves. “In summer we work in the garden; in winter we spin the wool,” Petra says.

Working together on less serious things seems to have made it possible for us to have serious times together without so much tension.” One of the family’s projects was planting a family garden as teams.
