im still checking with that.. a temple worker lady told me that tuesday they have like 2 temple sessions in the morning and wed, and thursday there are 3 or 4.. i think.. ill check again! 

Super and get times too, maybe we could do an early morning one the first one of the day, that way we could visit for the rest of the day and evening and start the day of great! :) I think too that there will be a devotional/dinner at pres house on Tuesday the 25^th, for you, has pres said anything about that? And think we would be invited?
