Last April I made these General Conference study bookmarks, and I really enjoyed using them as a way to study the General Conference talks when my Ensign came. I didn’t get around to doing them in October because we were on our sabbatical and everything was a little topsy turvy, but I enjoyed them so…
The April visiting teaching message is titled Oath and Covenant of the Priesthood. What we are really focusing on this month is temple covenants and the blessings that come with those covenants. My first printable for this month simply highlighted a scripture about the power of the temple endowment (see that printable here: April Visiting…
The April 2017 visiting teaching message is about the Oath and Covenant of the Priesthood. The message includes several wonderful quotes, but I admit I was having a hard time choosing which direction to go with my main printable for this month. After reading the quotes several times, I realized that I wanted to focus…

I especially loved the quote by President Uchtdorf in the March 2017 Visiting Teaching Message: “Though we all have weaknesses, we can overcome them. Indeed it is by the grace of God that, if we humble ourselves and have faith, weak things can become strong.” I get fixated on my weaknesses sometimes. Because sometimes it…
The visiting teaching message for March 2017 is “The Enabling Power of Jesus Christ and His Atonement.” At first, I didn’t know how it was different from February’s message, but after reading it, I recognize that we are talking about different things that the Atonement does for us. In February we talked about how the…
The longer I make printables for visiting teachers, the more I realize that many of you would rather have smaller handouts to give out. The printables I generally make are intended to be framed in order for your sisters to display them, but I know that it often makes more sense to give your sisters…
Last month I made the guess that we might perhaps be talking about the Relief Society for the entire year of visiting teaching. I suppose I guessed that because the last few years have been pretty thematic with Attributes of Christ and The Proclamation on the Family. But, when I opened my February Ensign and…
The January 2017 visiting teaching message is all about the purpose of the Relief Society. During the summer of 1995, I served a mini music mission to Nauvoo where I was able to visit Sarah Kimball’s home many times. There the first members of what was to become the Relief Society gathered to form a…
The last month of the year is here! I’m always amazed at how quickly it seems to fly by—and this year was no exception. The December visiting teaching message focuses on joy, which is such a perfect message for the month in which we sing Joy to the World as we celebrate our Savior’s birth….

5 ways to make scripture reading easier My husband reads his scriptures over breakfast every morning. I always smile as I notice his scriptures lying open on the dining room table after he leaves for work. He is a great example to me of what it means to make scripture study a priority and an…
