Having Fun With Visiting Teaching

I know that we all would like to be better at our visiting teaching each month. Sometimes we have a little extra time and it's no problem, but 90% of the time we are all very busy with our day to day and, unfortunately, visiting teaching is one of those things that slips our minds (I know it does mine). A few months ago, I decided to try and do better with mine, and in order to make it a bit more fun, I started making cute visiting teaching message cards to mail out instead of just the photocopy each month. Thankfully, beginning in January, a Sister named Erica (who runs Steadfast and Immovable, a digital scrapbooking blog with an emphasis on Young Women) started making one of her own and posting it for anyone to download for free each month. Now I get all the credit of my VT messages being so cute and I don't have to do the work to make it :)

So, even though it totally gives away my secret weapon, I will post a link to her new handout each month so we all can spread our love each month in a cute way. Every little bit helps in making visiting teaching a bit more fun so we are reminded to do it. We have so many Sisters out there who we have not seen or contacted in a while, and wouldn't it be nice to know they have a nice church message that is cute enough to hang on their refrigerator? :) It's even nice to hang up one for yourself. You can print it and keep it in your car or desk as a nice monthly reminder.

Anyway, here is the message for March. We still have 4 more days until the end of the month, so even if you can't arrange a visit, this message is sure to brighten someone's day! So print these out, and mail them before this Friday. Then don't forget to click the link at the top of the blog to report your VT for the month!
