March 2013 Visiting Teaching Handout

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

This month the title of the visiting teaching lesson is

Activation.

I took President Monson’s quote to focus on.    I decided to just go with a spring theme for this month, since St. Patrick’s Day and Easter are both in March, so I took a more generic route.  I love the colors in this handout, they just make me happy.  I am so ready for Spring to come, but it is still a ways off here in Utah.  I still have snow out in my yard!  So I will have to be content to just bring the bright colors into my home for a little while longer.

To print, just right click over the image and go to “save image as”, then save in one of your folders.  You can print from there or send out to your favorite photo processor.  You can also right click over image and go to “copy image” then open your favorite program like word or presentations and right click again and go to “paste”.  You can then print.

These are formatted to a 4 x 6 size.

Here is the blank one for those of you that want to translate the information.

This would also make a really fun card, invite, or tag!

I have a really fun idea to go with this that I am giving to  the sisters that I visit, but I did not get it done in time to take good pictures.  So I will take the pictures tomorrow in the daylight and I will post it next week!  Check back then to see what I have been up to!

How is everyone doing with the challenge to get 100% visits this year?  Let’s keep going!

Happy Visiting this Month!  Love Ya!

This months visiting teaching message for our church is:

“Converted unto the Lord“

I chose to use the quote by President Gordon B. Hinckley.

 (Does anyone still miss him like I do?)

I love this quote on how to treat new converts, but in a sense are we not all converts?  I think that this quote  is just a good motto to have when dealing with anyone we meet!

This month’s message is about Missionary work.

I love the quote from Pres. Uchtdorf, so that is my focus for this month’s handout.  Since it is winter here in Utah, I went with the winter/snowman theme!

My 5 top posts for 2012

This is a post that I shared at Ginger Snap Crafts last week and decided that I would now share it with you.  It was fun to go back through the last year and review some of the projects and recipes.  This is really a good exercise for all of us to do.  Look back through your journals, calendars, or notebooks and take a look at all the things that you accomplished throughout this last year.  It is really quite rewarding to recognize all the things you have completed or overcome!  You should really do this!

 My top five posts from last year:

The most viewed and most pinned post was:

My Cute Car Kit.

 This is a great way to lighten up your purse and yet still have all the things that you would need while you are out carpooling and driving kids  from place to place,  running errands, etc. etc. etc.  (Do you sometimes feel like you live in your car?)

December 2012 Visiting Teaching Handout

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

This month the message is

“Visiting Teaching, a Work of Salvation”

It talks about the importance of sharing our testimonies and teaching those that we visit.

I just made a fun little Christmas themed card for this month.   You could pair this with a fun Christmas treat, book, lotion, or any other little gift that you might want to give.  But really and truly the visit is the most important part and sharing your time and talents with all those whom you serve!

Here is a blank one for those of you who would like to translate!

These are formatted to 4 x6 so you can just send them to be printed, if you want to do that.

To print, right click over image and go to “save image as”  then just save into one of your pictures files.

 One idea for a great treat are these yummy mint brownies  You will find the recipe here.

I make these every year at Christmas time, in fact I am making some for our Sinterklaas Party this weekend!  That is how good these are!  I will tell more about the party next week.

Remember to Keep Christ in Christmas!

Happy Visiting Everyone!  Love Ya!

Just a reminder to watch the KUTV Morning Show tomorrow

 I am scheduled to be on between 7:30 and 8:00 am!

I will be showing several different ways that you can use up all of that Halloween Candy

and I would love to have you join me!

Now on to our Visiting Teaching Post:

This month your message will come from one of the conference talks.  There are so many good ones, but I tend to gravitate to the ones on service.  (Maybe that means that I need to serve more?!)

So I chose the talk from Sister Burton on “First Observe, Then Serve”

The message this month is: “Honoring Our Covenants”  I chose to focus on the quote from Russell M. Nelson, I love his quote about when we realize who we are…  I also like that visiting teaching is an expression of our discipleship and a way to honor our covenants as we serve and strengthen one another.

This month’s lesson is titled “Special Needs and Service Rendered”  I love the message to all of us about how we need to serve others!  President Monson is such a great example of this and we probably could all do a little better in this area…I know that at least I could do better!  For this month’s handout I decided to use a fall theme with owls.  I bought these owls at the Wood Connection and painted and decorated them, and they were my inspiration for this handout.

The message this month is “Taking Action in Time of Need”  It tells us that as visiting teachers, one of our purposes is to help strengthen families and homes.  The sisters we visit should be able to say, “If I have problems, I know my visiting teachers will help without waiting to be asked.”

So I decided that “Visiting Teachers Can be the Cherry on Top”  would be the perfect thing to go along with this message, because we want our sisters to be able to say this about each of us! Continue reading →
