Do What She Needs - Visiting Teaching (VT) Changes 2018

I just read that there are some changes (see HERE) coming in 2018 to visiting teaching which I am excited about. I love the shift in emphasis, and really I think the heart of visiting teaching has always been to do visiting teaching in the way the sister you see needs, but this really frees up those sisters who don't know if it 'counts' to do it that way. It's all about reaching the one, and for me it comes down to, did my sister feel loved by me this month, did they know they could count on and reach out to me, did I follow promptings regarding them, was I seeking to get these promptings, and others. Since being called as RS Pres in my ward I've created lots of printables for various things (it's my love language I guess:), I'll start putting them on here and maybe they'll help you too:)

Here's one that I'll use when introducing the changes to my sisters, one is an 8x10, which can also be enlarged up to 16x20, click the image to be taken to the download site, and one is a 4x6 if you want a handout size, or 4 to a page. Enjoy.xxx

April 2012 Visiting Teaching Message - Love, Watch Over & Strength

April's VT Message is:

Love, Watch Over, and Strengthen

While Visiting Teaching Messages have always focused on the teachings of the Savior Jesus Christ, beginning in this month they will begin to teach about ministering as He would. April’s message, “Love, Watch Over, and Strengthen,” is the first such message to teach these principles. Another great one about Visiting Teaching, with definitely something in it for all of us to improve on. Read the full story HERE.

IDEA 1

I decided to take the nine points of suggested qualities of a successful visiting teacher. These are on letter-sized paper (8.5x11) and 4 to a page. I thought they would be cute rolled-up into a scroll and tied with a pretty ribbon/fabric. Just click the image you like to be redirected to the download page.

IDEA 2

From Sprinkled Joy

Subway print - pair it with the handout above (in idea 1). Available in 4x6, 5x7, 8x10 and 4 to a page. Click HERE

IDEA 3

From Sprinkled Joy

"One by One" 

I chose this print for the customizable printable in April. It's from 3 Nephi 11:15 (used in the message) where the Savior blessed the people 'one by one', the message talks about how we are to minister in that way too, so I thought was a good reminder for sisters who VT, and those who don't, that we are loved on an individual, one by one basis, and that He knows us.

This is available in 48 color combo's and the following sizes: 4x6, 5x7, 8x10, or 4 to a page.
