February 2012 Visiting Teaching Message

Hello there Friends,

This month's message is about being guardians of the hearth. I included a beautiful quote given by President Hinckley on the handout for you to share. See the whole message here.

In this month's design I wanted something that would reflect Valentines day as well and I thought the bird with the heart envelope was just the thing. I found it on the graphics fairy site.

One of my very favorite quotes, "I am a little pencil in the hand, of a writing God who is sending a love letter to the world", by Mother Teresa is what I think of when I see this bird. When I think of you lovely women acting as visiting teachers, I can't help but think that you are sending Heavenly Father's love letters to the world. Spread the love. Happy Valentines Day!

January Visiting Teaching Message 2012 Watchcare

Whenever I think of watch care I always think of light houses. When my parents were newly married they lived on an island while my father was a light house keeper for the Coast Guard. I have always had a fondness for light house and what they symbolize. I chose a vintage postcard image which shows the Great Beds Lighthouse in 1918 and  altered it a bit for this months visiting teaching message. It features this quote "If we are observant and aware, and if we act on the promptings which come to us,
we can accomplish much good. … Countless are the acts of service provided by the vast army of Relief Society visiting teachers. -President Thomas S. Monson
Please share it with those you teach.

The full message can be found here.

December Visiting Teaching Message 2011

With Christmas right around the corner and so much to do this season I thought it would be nice to give you a Christmas themed visiting teaching holiday card for those you teach and anyone else you want to share it with.

This month's visiting teaching message entitled An Extensive Sphere of Action features a great quote by Elder Ballard that put on the card.

Just click on the above image and download.

I left a space at the bottom for you to write a personal message for Christmas.

Merry Christmas!

November Visiting Teaching 2011

Since the November Ensign is a report of the October general conference and there is not a specifically designated Visiting Teaching Message for November, I thought I would provide you with an inspiring quote for visiting teaching that I found in the book, Daughters in My Kingdom, History and Work of Relief Society. You can learn more about this book here. I just got this wonderful book in our ward last Sunday and I already love it. I found the quote on page 118 and it is by Mary Ellen Smoot, the 13th Relief Society General President.


Here is the handout I designed to inspire you to do your visiting teaching. 

I did make a handout from Pres. Dieter F. Uchdorf's talk, You are Not Forgotten, from the Saturday Relief Society Broadcast that you could share if you wanted for November. You can find it here.

Hope you have a Happy November!

October Visiting Teaching handout 2011

This month's visiting teaching message , "If We Do Not Doubt" by Sister Julie B. Beck, had many quotes I really liked but I went with the simple one for the handout. I like that this could have been said a hundred years ago or today and it still fits us. 

Just click on the image and download or print for those you teach.

Happy October!

Forget me not

After watching Pres. Dieter F. Uchtdorf give his talk, You are Not Forgotten at the Saturday Relief Society Broadcast I was inspired. If you haven't had a chance to listen to it, it is really great. I thought I needed to make myself a reminder of the things he said. I thought you might like to have a copy too so I am sharing it here.

Thanks to the Graphics Fairy I found this great vintage card with forget me nots that I was able to edit and add the message to.
