Thank you all for coming to the Visiting Teaching Conference and a big thanks to those sisters that helped with the program. The beautiful musical numbers, the food and the decorations were just wonderful.
We love and appreciate all of you--you're the best!
We hope all the visiting teachers of the San Antonio Ward will start working on our six-week Visiting Teaching Challenge today, Sunday January 31st.
- Week 1: Pray daily for the Sisters you have been called to visit teach.
- Week 2: Shepherd the Sisters you visit teach by first knowing who they are. What are your Sisters' names, hobbies, interests? Exchange contact information.
- Week 3: Send a note of love and support to your visiting teaching Sisters.
- Week 4: Telephone your visiting teaching Sisters and personally invite them to the next Relief Society meeting or activity.
- Week 5: Share the visiting teaching message with your Sisters in their homes. Bring a thoughtful treat or a simple gift for your sisters; a bookmark, cupcake, candle, potted herb, etc.
- Week 6: Anonymously serve your visiting teaching Sisters in an effort to lighten their load and brighten their day.
"If...visiting teachers respond to this challenge, I honestly believe that they will taste the sweet and wonderful feeling which comes of being an instrument in the hands of the Lord in leading someone back into activity in His church and kingdom."
--President Gordon B. Hinckley
