The Sisterhood of the Traveling VT Journal #4

Welcome to another issue of our traveling journal.  It's traveling slowly these days but let's remember that it's not the quantity that matters but the quality and this entry is no exception.  Enjoy!

I like to be a V.T.  I really enjoy when I can do my visiting teaching.  I have an excellent partner to do it.  I think that the hard part is when I have to do it in English, but my companion Sister Dulce C. always helps me to do it.  --All the sisters that we have to visit are very nice with me and I know that they try to understand me.

When we talk in the gospel language, everything is possible and easier.

I know that "Jesucristo" is my Savior.  I know he loves me and he gives me many opportunities to serve.  He helps me everyday to be a better person, to be patient with myself, and toward on my way to improve my English.

I would like to say many other things, but I think that is enough to know that I love Jesus Christ, and everyday in my life I want to serve Him.

The Sisterhood of the Traveling VT Journal #2 & #3

Partly due to General Conference and Stake Conference last month, the passing of our journal did not go as smoothly as planned.  It didn't help that I have awful memory and held the journal without passing it after it was returned to me.  So the entries have been scarce.  Yikes!  I'll work on it.  ;)

Anyway, without further ado, here are a couple entries:

Visiting Teaching is a great way to develop friendships of all ages.  Rosemarie T. was a long time member of our ward.  She struggled with health issues and became homebound.  I learned a lot from this ..New Yorker and enjoyed our visits.  When Sister T. passed away I had the privilege of dressing her for burial and then speaking at her funeral.

I have learned so much from my visiting teachers.  One in particular helped me as I was struggling with Spencer's autism and children's behavioral challenges.

I think the greatest joy of visiting teaching has been our friendship with Vicki P. and her son Adam being baptized.

Visiting Teaching brings joy to our life.

Love,
Rose P.

I have to say that visiting teaching is not always the easiest thing for me to do.  Not that I don't enjoy it.  I think it is more out of my comfort zone to call or contact someone whom I hardly know.  That being said, I have never had a bad experience when I do visit those sisters.  I find something I enjoy about them and find the message that is shared usually ends up helping me!  So I will continue to try harder to visit those I have said I would.  I know I always enjoy those who come visit me.

I love the comfort that comes knowing there are others willing to always help me if I am ever in need.

Thank you.

Visiting Teaching Message: November 2011

                                                              Intellectual Reserve Inc.

Having had General Conference last month, this month's issue of Liahona and Ensign contain no specific visiting teaching message.  Visiting teachers are encourage to prayerfully select a message from the conference talks.  Go HERE for the October 2011 addresses.

I recently stumbled into a fabulous blog HERE that has downloadable general conference highlight cards that would make for a great enhancer. 

Happy Visiting Teaching!!  :)
