Motherhood is more than bearing children. 

It is the essence of who we are as women.

Sunday's Lesson

   Ann Hatch gave the lesson Sunday on VISITING TEACHING.  She taught us that visiting teaching is not just a quick visit and lesson---  but it is ministering to, watching over, and strengthening our sisters  She showed a short video clip of Sister Julie B. Beck.  When Sister Beck was asked what is the one thing she would tell us about visiting teaching she answered "Get over yourselves! Just take care of it---just take care of each other!  We can do this!"   Ann bore a strong personal testimony of being a visiting teacher.  She inspired us all to be better visiting teachers.

Here is the clip Ann used in her lesson today:

Spring Swing in Photos

Just a few photos from the great evening we had over the weekend at the Spring Swing.  

 The University of Utah Ballroom Dancers helped everyone learn a thing or two about swing dancing.

There were lots of delicious cupcakes and candies to snack on.

And the kids seemed to enjoy the dancing as much as the adults:

It was hard to stay still with such a great band!

Thank you so much to Sue H. and her wonderful committee for a great evening.

Please contact Lisa C. if you have photos you would like to share!

Ice Box Cookies

by Stephanie S.

1/2 lb butter
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup white sugar
1/2 lb chopped nut
3 eggs
5 cups flour
1 tsp salt
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp baking soda

Cream butter, add sugars, nuts, eggs and flour.  Add salt, cinnamon and soda.  Form into 3 or 4 rolls and wrap in wax paper then chill in refrigerator overnight.  Slice and bake.  350 degrees about 5 to 8 minutes.

(Very stiff dough - best if made in bread mixer)

These are called "Ice Box Cookies" because they need to be chilled (I freeze the rolls of dough) before you can slice them.  My grandmother had a big Ice box where a man would deliver ice each week - twice in the summer, and it would keep the entire "box" cold.  There were several compartments with heavy doors and sturdy handles that locked air tight when closed to keep the cold in.

Revnicha (Croation Nut Bread)

Recipe from Laurie P.
Yield: 4 loaves

Yeast Bread:
1 Tblsp yeast or 1 pkg active dry yeast
1 1/2 cups warm water
2/3 cup sugar
1 1/2 tsp salt
2/3 cup melted butter
2 eggs at room temperature
1 cup lukewarm mashed potatoes
6 1/2 to 7 cups whole wheat flour or all purpose flour

Dissolve yeast in warm water in a large mixing bowl.  Stir in sugar, salt, butter, eggs, potatoes and 4 cups of the flour.  Beat until smooth.  Stir in enough remaining flour to make dough easy to handle.  (The dough will be soft.)  Turn dough onto lightly floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 5 minutes.  Place in a greased bowl; turn greased side up.  Cover tightly; refrigerate at least 8 hours.  (Dough can be kept up to 5 days in refrigerator at 45 degrees or below.)  Keep covered.

Filling:

(I like to make 4 individual bowls of filling rather than make one big bowl so each loaf has the same amount of filling.  The filling recipe is for ONE loaf of bread.  Make 4 bowls or 4x the recipe and ivied into fourths.)


Filling for ONE loaf:
1 cup finely chopped walnuts
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
2 tablespoons butter, softened
1 egg
1/4 tsp vanilla
1/4 tsp lemon extract

Mix walnuts, sugar, butter, egg, vanilla and lemon extract.

Punch down dough and divide into 4 equal pieces.

Roll 1 piece of dough into a rectangle, 15 x 10 inches, on a lightly floured surface.  Spread 1 bowl of filling over rectangle to within 1 inch of the edges.

Roll up gently, beginning at one of the long sides.  Moisten the ends with water; pinch edges of dough into roll to seal.  Bend roll in half and place in a greased or parchment paper lined 9 x 5 inch loaf pan.  Cover; let rise in a warm place until double, about 1 1/2 hours.

Heat oven to 375 degrees.  Bake 30 to 35 minutes or until bread is browned.  Remove from pan and place bread on a towel lined cooling rack.  Cover with a towel.  When cool, the bread may be wrapped in foil or plastic wrap. Refrigerate or freeze for best storage.

Indexing

Last week we had a presentation in our evening Relief Society meeting about how to do indexing.  

To begin indexing go to the

Family Search website by clicking here.

You can learn why and how to index on the website before you download the program to your computer.

Sister Charlotte gave us these helpful indexing hints:

1. For help with instructions in a field press Field Help.

2. If a Field is blank press Ctrl B.

3.If a Field is unreadable press X.

4. If a Field is the same go to the marked field, right click in that field and then click Ditto Fields below.

5. If you have a question about a city or county click the field, type what you think it says and then click the down button in that field and click Look Up.

6. If you find a letter you can't read, check other words in the document for that letter.

7. If you are unable to finish the batch exit the program and when you return click the batch that is written.

8. If a child is under the age of one enter 0.
