Food Storage Calculator

Jeanne Machin sent an Excel spreadsheet to aid food storage preparation. It is a fantastic way to examine what your household needs. Just plug in how many adults and children are in the home and how long you want your storage to last, and the document will automatically calculate how much of each item you should purchase. Great find, Jeanne. Thanks!

April Sister Spotlight

Elaine Kay Moore Steffenauer

I was born June 8th, 1948. I was born in New Castle, PA and live there until I was 16.

I was not named after anyone but my neice, Karen Elaine, was named after me.

I like all colors--I just like to wear black. Purple is my least favorite--today that is.

I was baptized when I was 13. I only attended church when I visited my Grandmother in Slippery Rock but I always knew the church was true I think because of her testimony. I began to attend regularly when we moved here, first in Pleasant Hills Branch then 2nd Ward, then 5th Ward and now 2nd Ward again--all in the same building. We have moved and returned several times and have lived here this time since 1984.

I recommend doing what makes you happy. To quote President Henry B. Eyring, "You ought to find something that you love so much that when you don't have to think about anything, that's what you think about".

I love children--I don't do grownups. I work in a Montessori Pre-School and love my job. I never thought I would look forward to Mondays, but I do.

In the kitchen--I am the faucet--either hot or cold.

When I grow up I am going to be a Rockette. I will be the 5th one the right--watch for me.

As others have said, I would travel to see my children and other family members. I also like the beach and find it very relaxing. If I could travel in time I would be at my Grandmother's farm. I loved both the work and the play there.

The farthest I have traveled is Japan. We lived in Okinawa when we were first married and Don was in the Air Force.

March and April

February Spotlight: Sister Alyona Russin

My mom's parents had a painted picture at home named, "Alyonushka." My mom liked it so much that she called me after the woman in the picture.

My birthday is June 16th, and I was born in Turkmenistan. My favorite color is either red, or pink (it depends on my mood.)

I have been a member of the church for 8 years, although I have been going for 10. I have been a member of the ward for a little more than a year.

I recommend "Jane Air" by Charlotte Brontee, Russian Sweets, getting a pet, and "My fair Lady" the movie.

The item in my kitchen that best describes me is my cat's because they are always there!

My hobbies and talents are beading, cross stitching, shopping, traveling, listening, psychology, dancing, banking, and I am an animal lover.

When I was little I was always jealous that adults could buy as much ice cream as they want. So I wanted to grow up and be able to eat ice cream whenever I wanted.

I want to see the whole world. I want to visit all countries in Europe (they have so much history), Australia - it must be different cause it's so far away from other countries. Egypt- longest asian culture, China and Japan.

The farthest I have been from home is America :) or Russia.... depends on what you call home.
