It was
wonderful to be gathered together with all of the sisters in the ward for our
Visiting Teaching Conference last week! There is strength in unity. Here is one
more thought to keep us motivated in our efforts to be better Visiting
Teachers. This is from President Barbara B. Smith, former General Relief
Society President.
“Visiting Teaching is a tool given to us by the Lord. Properly used, it is a great source of inspiration, strength, and comfort. Many a sister's prayers have been miraculously answered by visiting teachers in a time of need. In an urban world that is often filled with loneliness in the midst of a crowd, visiting teachers are essential. They are the Lord's way of keeping His daughters in touch with each other, and I think they are His recognition of the sanctity of each home. What the visiting teaching program needs is for us to have more dedication to those that we are called to visit.”

May we
all be blessed with a desire to improve our efforts and increase our love for
those whom we visit teach.
Please take the opportunity this month to have your Young Woman age daughters join you in visiting teaching. We were very blessed to have them with us for the Visiting Teaching Conference and would like to provide them a glimpse of the joy and blessings of visiting teaching.
