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.
