Our self-reliance mini class will be held Wednesday, July 10th, 6 pm. Due to a cancellation we've had to change the topic of this month's lesson, our lesson will be on sewing. Christy L. will be teaching the class. Please bring items to be repaired and your own sewing kit (there will be some available to borrow if you don't have one). Invite your friends and enjoy us for fun.

Tuesday, July 16th will be our next Relief Society Meeting and we are very excited about it! We will be meeting at the church at 6 pm and car pooling to the Family History Center on the Temple grounds (be there @ 6:30). While at the FHC we will be researching our ancestors and identifying those that we can then take with us when we go to the Temple as a group in September and perform Baptisms for the Dead. Please bring your less-active and non-member friends with you. We do need to have a count for the 16th so if you would like to go and did not sign up on Sunday please email me and I'll make sure your name gets on the list. Child care WILL NOT be provided for this meeting.

We are also asking that you be sure to have an account set up and activated with www.lds.org (the same username and password works for every LDS website). You will need your membership number and confirmation date to create an account (available from the Ward Clerk). If you already have an account please be sure you know your username and password. Having and knowing your account information will help things go more smoothly on the 16th and allow each of us more time to find those ancestors who are waiting for their ordinances.

The Stake is still awaiting word on Girls Camp. We will have a definite answer no later than Friday. I will send an email as soon as I hear anything. We will plan on camp being next week unless the Stake tells us otherwise. You can be assured that neither the Stake nor the Forestry Department will allow the Young Women up there unless it is perfectly safe. The Stake does have a back up plan for the girls to attend camp if things do not work for next week. That information will be passed on when it becomes necessary.

Youth camps are here but some of the youth still have money they need to earn to pay for their camp. Please consider hiring one of the young men or young women to do odd jobs around the house to help them with this goal. For ideas of which youth need work, contact a youth leader.

When was the last time you wrote to one of our missionaries? We now have 8 serving from the Vegas Valley Ward and they would love to hear from you. Send them a note or card or letter. If you know the language they are teaching in write in that language. I know my kids love to get letters in their mission language.
