We are very excited. Sister Eden is ready to go to the Temple and we have tenitive approval to go with her. We have called the Temple and made arrangements to go on June 21st. We will do a 3:00 PM session. Then we will stay overnight and do a morning session and then come home that afternoon. She is very excited. She is also somewhat worried because she does not know what to expect. Of course we told her a lot of stories while we were giving her the lessons so she would be expecting something crazy......NOT!!!

We also just taught Sister James the Temple Prep classes. She is getting ready to get her recommend. She should go within a month or so. So we will probably go again. There is another Sister who may go before we come home. However her husband is finally showing a little spark so she may wait for him.

The whole European Area has been challenged to fast This Sunday and then invite a Less Active or non-member to church every week in June. The members seem fairly enthused with it. We will see how it goes. Sister James is going with us to challenge Brother Brewer to come. He is the guy we have been working with who hasn't come to church in 45 years except once a few weeks ago he came with us.

The Ward Council has also prayerfully picked 5 names of Less Active to focus the Ward's efforts on. They are to approach them and invite them to meet with the Elders or ourselves so that we can work together to bring them back. This plan has been in place for some time but we are just now getting it being done right.

Sister Henry continues to cook lunch for the District almost every week. She loves doing it and they love to eat it. She does a variety of things but they really love her sloppy joes. This week she did sandwiches and potato salad and her special Brownies. Everything was gone. We had the District, The Zone Leaders and the AP's there. 16 all together.

The Thursday night YSA is not meeting any more so we are not going to Cheltenham on Thursday nights. They have asked us to go on Sundays and Tuesdays when we can. We will see.

Enough for today.
Bye to all.
Elder and Sister Henry
