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!

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”

Oct 2012 Visiting Teaching Handout.

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

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.

Aug. 2012 Visiting Teaching Handout

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

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 →

May 2012 Visiting Teaching Handout

Church, Flowers and Garden, Printables, VT Handouts, , , , , , , ,

Here is the May Visiting Teaching Handout.

 The message should come from one of the conference talks of your own choosing.  So I decided that since it was the month of May that  I would put “May” we let ourselves be Blessed with the talks from Conference. (Get it?!)

I just stuck this card in a cute little potted plant that you can find anywhere right now.  But if you want to do something else with flowers, you could do sugar cookie flowers, Oreo Cookie Flowers, fresh cut flowers or paper flowers!

Here is the printable, just right click and go to copy.  Open your favorite program like Word or Presentations and right click again and go to paste.  Print and cut out.

Happy Visiting this month!

April 2012, VT Message: Love, Watch Over and Strengthen

Church, Printables, VT Handouts, , , , ,

The message for this month is a great message to teach us all how to be better visiting teachers, but for the message to give your sisters I chose to concentrate on the title, “Love, Watch Over and Strengthen”.  It is a great message for anyone and this title exemplifies what we should be doing in the church!

 I included the 9 different steps to help us be better sisters on the flower petals.

To print, right click on the image and go to copy.  Open your favorite program like Word or Presentations.  Right click again and go to paste.  You can re-size to any size.  I printed mine in 4″ x 6″.  I like to print on photo paper or glossy card stock paper.

BYU Women’s Conference 2012

Church, Service, Sewing, , , ,

I have been asked to help with one of the service projects for the BYU Women’s Conference this year.  I am excited to be a part of this organization.  They always do so much good in these service activities.

This year, one of three of the projects that they are doing is making felt backpacks for school children.  The fun thing about this project this year is that it is going to stay right here in our own communities!

I was asked to help sew some of the velcro on the backpacks.  This was done by machine and that is the only thing sewn by machine.  The rest of the backpacks are all sewn by hand!  That is what all the women will doing Thursday night of the conference!  It will be quite a sight to see so many women doing service all at the same time!

This is only a very small percentage of all the  backpacks that will be made that night.Isn’t this one of the cutest little “Backpack” models that you ever did see? Continue reading →

Story@ Home Conference

Blogging, Church, Family, , , , , , ,

I am excited to tell you about a conference that I am going to attend this weekend.  It is called Story@Home 2012.  It is being held in Salt Lake City, UT at Temple square.

Home

This is the description of the conference:

Blogging • Family History • Storytelling

“No matter how you tell your stories – through your family history, at your child’s bedside, on your blog, or from a stage – your stories matter. Join us for a conference that will change the way you see your stories and the world, and help you connect in new ways with those you cherish most.

Workshops and performances by award-winning storytellers, performers and speakers, will help you explore ways to use the power of story in your home. You’ll be able to record your own story, start on some research to learn more about your family’s history, get started on a blog and learn how to tell your story through social media.”

If you are anywhere in the area, there are still tickets available here: Story@Home.  One of the speakers is Leigh Anne from your homebased mom.  She has a fun blog that I have followed for a long time, so I am excited to get to meet her and to listen to her class!

If any of you are attending, please come and say hi if you see me.  I would love to meet you!

March Visiting Teaching Handout

This month the message is titled “Daughters in My Kingdom” and it has a great message about how we are daughters of our Father in Heaven.  He knows us, loves us, and has a plan for us.

How wonderful the world would be if everyone knew just this one eternal principle!  So my handout this month is titled: “Lucky Me – I know:”
