June 2016 Visiting Teaching Printable

The visiting teaching message for June 2016 is about temple ordinances and covenants. As a person who lives nearly 7 hours away from the nearest temple, I really enjoyed reading this lesson.

Ever since I moved here, the chances I have had to visit the temple are much more meaningful to me in general. I regret all the times I didn’t go to the temple when I was only about an hour or so away, and now I take every possible opportunity to go with The Maestro or by myself—and that still only adds up to twice a year. Three times if I’m lucky.

I especially loved Sister Linda K. Burton’s quote about temple covenants: “Making and keeping covenants means choosing to bind ourselves to our Father in Heaven and Jesus Christ.”

Even though that was a few more words than I’ve put on one of these printables this year, I made it work!

We are taking our family on a semester long sabbatical to Utah soon. We will leave in mid-July.

While I am excited to be closer to family and many of my dear friends, I am really looking forward to attending the temple often while we are there. I have made a goal to go weekly—and hey! I’ll have quite a few temples to choose from!
