As usual, I loved General Conference last month. This time around, listening to it made me realize I needed to step back and figure out my priorities and really start focusing more on my family. Not that I wasn’t focusing on my family before, but I was letting less important things get in the way….
The visiting teaching message for the month of September is titled Of One Heart. The message is about Zion and how that means we are unified and work together (it calls to mind the lyrics of As Sisters in Zion, actually). I loved Elder Ballard’s quote about being one: “At the heart of the English…
The visiting teaching message for August is titled “Living a Consecrated Life.” Consecrating our lives to God means that we are giving our whole selves—not just our material possessions—to God. In doing so, we become true disciples. So many of the quotes in this lesson struck me. I loved the quote by Carole M. Stephens:…
The visiting teaching message for July 2017 is called That They May Be One. The gist of the message is that perfect unity with Jesus Christ and with our Father in Heaven should be a goal of ours. Elder D. Todd Christofferson said, “Jesus achieved perfect unity with the Father by submitting Himself, both flesh…
The visiting teaching message for June 2017 is titled Priesthood Power through Keeping Covenants. I read through the message and thought it was apropos for June, since that is when we celebrate Father’s Day. The lesson emphasizes that our homes can be blessed by the strength of priesthood power, regardless of our circumstances. It then…
Picking a quote from the April 2017 General Conference to take to my sisters for May visiting teaching is the hardest thing for me. There are so many wonderful talks and so many great lessons I personally learned from Conference that it’s really hard to choose! This month, I settled on Elder Holland’s talk, “Songs…
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…
