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 5:45 pm and car pooling to the Family History Center on 9th and Clark (be there @ 6:20). 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.

Stake Girls Camp has officially been canceled. The Vegas Valley ward has put together a mini "camp" for the young women in our ward. If you were not able to attend the meeting Sunday after church please contact one of the young women leaders or Sister C. about the plan. Sounds like a lot of fun. The Relief Society will still be providing dinner on Wednesday night so if you signed up to help Sister M. will be calling you.

The Temple will be closing for its summer cleaning July 21-August 5. We have received word that there will be a schedule change beginning with the reopening of the Temple on August 6th. Please click on the New Temple Schedule page to the right for the new schedule and plan your temple attendance accordingly.

Next month's self-reliance mini-class will be on august 7th @ 6 pm. We will be learning how to make our own fruit rolls and dehydrated snacks. These taste so good, like candy or chips, and are so much better for us and our families. I personally love the seasoned zucchini and tomato chips, yum. Mark your calendar.

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.
