I hope that you all had a great New Year’s Day!  

We had a great day and went to the movie, “Frozen”.  It is a darling movie and I can see why all the kids love it…I loved it!
 I was also able to start organizing a little bit, but I have a whole lot more to go!  I still have not put all my Christmas away, which is not like me, but I just cannot seem to jump in tackle it quite yet.  But I will! :)
 
Here is the Visiting Teaching handout for this month for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, the title of this message is, “The Divine Mission of Jesus Christ:  Exemplar”
I really love the title of this and that is why I included it on this month’s handout.  I looked up the word exemplar and thought that I would include it here for you:
______________________________________________________________________________________________________
ex·em·plar
igˈzemplər,-ˌplär/
noun
 
  1. a person or thing serving as a typical example or excellent model.
    “he became the leading exemplar of conservative philosophy”
    synonyms: epitome, perfect example, paragon, ideal, exemplification, textbook example, embodiment, essence, quintessence

    __________________________________________________________________________________________________

    I love this definition and especially the word quintessence!  Click on that word to see what I mean.

    So here are the printables for this month:

December 2013 Visiting Teaching Handout

I hope that you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend.  We had a great one even though there was a lot of excitement in our neighborhood!  One of our neighbors had a fire in their home on Thanksgiving morning!  The home received smoke damage and damage to half of the house, but it is not a total loss, thank goodness!  We are hoping that they will be able to move back in a week or two!  But it will probably take months to get their home all put back together!  It really makes you stop and count your blessings and my number one blessing is always my family, as was our neighbor’s!  Everyone was safe and that was the most important thing!

But now, here is the December visiting teaching handout for Relief Society for my church  I love that it is all about the Savior for this month, because to me that is what Christmas is all about!  

I chose to focus on this quote by  Elder D. Todd Christofferson.

November 2013 Visiting Teaching Handout

Cookies, Fall, Printables, Quotes, Recipes, VT Handouts, , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

This month for your visiting teaching message you will need to pick your favorite conference talk to discuss with your sisters, so I decided just to do a general card that you can hand out with any talk that you choose.  With it being November, I went with a “thankful” theme.  We all have many blessings that we need to be thankful for, one of them being the fact that we have a general conference twice a year with a living prophet to lead our church!  I love conference weekend and the wonderful spirit that I feel every time I listen to our leaders.

So with that being said, I hope that you can show your gratitude to your sisters for all of your blessings.

Here is the visiting teaching handout for this month for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.

This month they are starting a new series on the visiting teaching message: “This is the first in a series of Visiting Teaching Messages featuring aspects of the mission of the Savior.”

The Divine Mission of Jesus Christ: Creator

This month the aspect that is being taught is that Jesus Christ is the Creator.  I chose to feature the quote by President Utchdorf; “We are the Reason He Created the Universe!  I love this thought and I hope that we can all remember this in times of trial and sorrow.

Aug. 2013 Visiting Teaching Handout

Here is my visiting teaching handout for this month.

This is a message that the sisters of the church take out to each other when they go to visit them each month. 

The message for this month is about welfare.  The thought that I used is the one by President Erying, I love the overall message of this quote.  There has always been a way provided for us to help others.  We need to just keep our eyes and our hearts open to those around us that we could serve!

July 2013 Visiting Teaching Handout

Church, Printables, VT Handouts, , , , , ,


This month the message for visiting teaching for our church is “Teaching and Learning the Gospel”  There is a quote by President Kimball that says in part:  “Become scholars of the scriptures-not to put others down, but to lift them up!  After all, who has any greater need to ‘treasure up’ the truths of the gospel than do women and mothers who do so much nurturing and teaching?”  So this is what I based my handout on for this month.

I thought that it would be fun to do an Americana theme since it is July.  

I  also mentioned  a few days ago, that I am making some changes to my blog and one of the things I am doing is making my printables in a pdf format so that you can just download them, I hope this will make things easier for you to print them!  

So this is what I came up with for this month!

Visiting Teaching Handout-June 2013

Church, Gift ideas, Printables, VT Handouts, , , , , , , , , , ,

This month the visiting teaching handout for June is titled “Joy in Family History”.

My husband and I both come from families that have several people that do a lot of family history and a lot of our work has been done, but we went to one of the church’s  family history centers several months ago and one of the really fun things that we did was to generate a family genealogy fan!  This is a great image that will show you all of your ancestors all in the same place.  It shows you who has been found and where there are holes in your lines.  It is really a cool way to see everything all at once!

You do not have to go to a family history center to generate your own fan, anyone can do your own online here:

Genealogy Fan

This is a fun way to get started with your family history, or if you have already done some of your history, this is a great way to see what you have done and where the holes need to be filled in.  I really encourage you to try this and also to encourage your sisters that you visit to try it out.  I would love for you to share this link with them.

So this month, for the visiting teaching message, I thought that it would just be fun to do a tag that says “Scatter Sunshine through Family History”.
