Visiting Teaching Message: February 2012

This month's Visiting Teaching Message is titled, "Guardians of the Hearth"

Here's an excerpt:
“You are the guardians of the hearth,” said President Gordon B. Hinckley (1910–2008) as he introduced “The Family: A Proclamation to the World” in the general Relief Society meeting in 1995. “You are the bearers of the children. You are they who nurture them and establish within them the habits of their lives. No other work reaches so close to divinity as does the nurturing of the sons and daughters of God.

Would you like some ideas of some crafty enhancers?  You're out of luck 'cause my crafting skills suck but I'm pretty good at finding others online who are, so go HERE.  There you will find 10 creative ideas to help you present this month's message.  Pretty nifty!!

As always, Happy Visiting Teaching!  We have an extra day this month ..it's leap year.  Make the most of the special day!! :)

**Hmm, if your a sister from our ward who's knowledgeable at creating such crafty enhancers. Contact Jinky and we'll put you to work here!

Assignment update, Return of Reporting Form, & New VT Supervisor

Hi Sisters,

Just wanted to let you know that there have been some changes in the assignments so take a look at the list (see sidebar under Pages section, Assignments).  This is effective in February so take the time now to say your regards to companionship or sisters you visit taught.  There are still a few move-ins that yet need to be assessed so more changes are to come.  Don't get nervous, if we utilize our assignment with the Spirit all will be well. :)  Anyway, an official visiting teaching assignment slip will be provided to you by your VT Supervisor, please be sure to flag her down for it.  Any concerns please let her know and if it's more sensitive then contact Bonnie or Jinky.

By request the return of the Reporting Form is back!  Go to the sidebar Pages section to find it.  There you are welcome to report your visiting teaching activities.  Note however that this report may not be consistently checked daily so immediate concerns should be brought directly to Bonnie or Jinky's attention through their personal email or phone.

Last but certainly not least, we welcome Sister Shirley H. to our VT Team!  We are excited to have her and know that she will be a great addition.  Shirley has been called as a Visiting Teaching Supervisor.  Shirley at the moment does not have a district so she will be assisting where there is a need in the team.  Be sure to say your regards when you see her. :)

Thank you for all you do.  --Happy visiting teaching!!

P.S.  Wow, January is almost over!  That means it's time to start reporting your activities to your supervisor. ;)
