Visiting Teaching Routes

This past Sunday we passed out visiting teaching routes, if we did not get yours out to you please come see a member of the Relief Society presidency this Sunday!  We want everyone to have up to date routes so you know who you should be visiting.  In the upper right corner of your paper with your route on it is listed who you should report your visiting teaching to each month.

Heavenly Father has called upon us to "feed His sheep" following is a reminder about how we do this through visiting.

"One of the ways Relief Society sisters can feed His sheep is through visiting teaching. “The purposes of visiting teaching are to build caring relationships with each sister and to offer support, comfort, and friendship.” To accomplish those purposes, visiting teachers should:


1. Visit each assigned sister regularly (in her home or other appropriate setting every month).
2. “Learn of the spiritual and temporal needs of the sister and her family.”
3. “Offer appropriate assistance.”
4. “Give spiritual instruction through a monthly message.”

The Lord has blessed women with divine attributes of love, compassion, kindness, and charity. Through our monthly visits as visiting teachers, we have the power to bless each sister as we extend our arms of love and kindness and give the gifts of compassion and charity. No matter what our individual circumstances are, we all have the opportunity to edify and nurture others." - Silvia H. Allred (click here here to read talk in it's entirety)
