Visiting Teaching Message

This is the first of a new monthly section reserved regarding visiting teaching where I will be giving tips, ideas, do's and don'ts, etc. For the first month, I'd like to talk about the purpose of visiting teaching. Visiting teachers should build caring relationships with the sisters they visit. They offer support, give comfort, and extend friendship. Both the giver and receiver are blessed. Their care and concern strengthens sisters in their church activity. Also remember that because of possible dangers, visiting teachers should not go alone; always go with your companion. We know that there are many working sisters, but there are still days off during the month which should be coordinated together if at all possible. There is strength and support in numbers! I've already heard stories in just this month where one of the companions got into a house that the other wouldn't have otherwise. There's a reason you were put together with your companion. You and I may not know why, but Heavenly Father does! With love and gratitude, Sister Ray
