We had a great day yesterday. We went to Worcester (Woorster) to district mtg. Took the two elders with us. It is always a treat to visit with them. They can be so excited and so discouraged at the same time. The mtg was conducted this time by the zone leaders. Very inspiring. Did lots of role playing on how to approach people and how to talk to them in different situations. All the elders in the district are so cool and excited about what they are doing. It amazes me how much they know about the gospel and how gungho they are. One set are in a small town (only one street) where it has been tracted about 40 times already. And they just keep going back--and getting doors slammed at them--again and again. So discouraging but they just keep at it. We will start doing flat inspections in a couple of weeks. We have 9 flats on our list. It will take us around the country a good bit, so we are excited to do that. We have had some good visits this week with inactive members. Several have invited us to come back to visit again. We are going tonight with a member to visit a man who has been inactive for many years. (Pause) Well he just called and said that he hasn't been able to get in touch with him. Will keep trying.

I pulled a couple of muscles somehow that was giving me a lot of trouble. So we asked a member (the exec sec) to come over and help give me a blessing. He was so appreciative that we had called him. Then the next day he called to see how I was doing and asked me to talk in Sac. Mtg this Sunday. I guess it is all good!!!

We are knocking on doors again today to see who we can find to visit, or who has moved, or who has maybe passed away. It seems to be a common thing for people to have moved and nobody knows where they are.

The RS is trying to get a choir together for Ward Conference next month and they asked me to play for them. I am also going to play for the Primary Program in a couple of weeks. They have been practicing without a piano so far. I am glad for this opportunity to help with the music. Also another sister has asked me to help get a choir together to sing for people she works with at Christmas. She does therapy for people with MS. It is all good. There are so many things they need help with.

We love the Lord and know that he is blessing us and our family as we serve. May we always remember that He loves us and will take care of us. Love, Elder and Sister Henry
