It is the 1st of April…so it is time once again for my visiting teaching handout!
This month the message for visiting teaching for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints is: “Without Guile or Hypocrisy.“
I included two different quotes this month. One from Elder Joseph B. Wirthlin about being without guile and one from President Uchtdorf on hypocrisy. They are both such good quotes and go together for this month’s message.
Here are the printables. They are all formatted to a 4 x 6 size. You can print your own, or you can send them out to your favorite photo processing center.
Here is the blank card for those of you that would like to translate. This blank card would also be darling for a spring invite, a note, or a fun little tag to tie onto a gift.
These tags are also formatted to a 4 x 6 size with two to a page. I like to print these on the photo paper as well to make a nice glossy tag!
And here are the blank ones if you do not want the saying that is on the other ones!
To print these as a JPEG or photo, right click over image and go to “save image as” then save in a folder and you can print from there. For those that would like the PDF format, here is the download for that:
April 2015 Visiting Teaching Handout
I thought that it would be fun to tie a couple of Crystal Light packets to a water bottle and tie it with the tag. Of course you can do anything that you would like, but I just liked the “spring” tag with the water bottle! :)
And just remember as always…it is not the handout that counts…it is the visit!
Thanks for visiting me today and Happy Visiting this month!
thank you so very much for sharing every month luv you wonderful thoughtful ideas
Kelsey, you are welcome! I love it when someone can use one of my ideas! Thank you for taking the time to write your comments, I love hearing from you. Happy visiting this month.
Rita
Thank you for sharing your wonderful ideas! XO
Brenda, You are welcome! Thank you for taking the time to comment, I love hearing from my readers!
Rita
I look forward to your Visiting Teaching hand out each month. I absolutely love them as well as your handout ideas as we have a couple of sisters who are hard to get visits with. But with your ideas, they get the message and a little treat – just to let them know we are thinking of them!
Sharron, I am so glad to help! Sometimes it is hard to meet with your sisters, but I am glad that you can leave a message with them! Happy visiting this month!
Thank you so much for putting these together every month. I am the VT coordinator in my ward and I print off a bunch of these to help encourage monthly VTing. Everyone is over the moon about them and our VT stats have improved! All thanks to your beautiful handouts and ideas.
Beth, thank you so much for that kind comment! I am so glad that you can use the visiting teaching handouts and that it is helping! You just made my day! Happy visiting this month! :)
Rita
Beth, I am the VT coordinator in my ward also. Do you hand these out to the supervisors or to the visiting teachers in your ward?
Connie,
I print them through Costco for cheap and have them in the binder that is passed around at church. I usually get up at the beginning of the month during announcements and tell everyone I have a new handout and what this month’s message is. I usually try to put together a cute gift to go with the handout to show everyone like Rita shows here on her website.
That way if someone wants to take one, they can when the binder gets passed around (or they may have something else in mind and not want one, which is rare in my ward). It’s great for those sister’s that we just send mail once in a while to keep contact. The VT can put a note on the back of this handout and mail it off. It may be the only spiritual contact some have all month. And aren’t these handouts the cutest?
Thanks Rita for your handouts and ideas each month. They are amazing. My sisters that I visit always love them. Beverly
Beverly, You are so welcome! Thank you for taking the time to write your kind comment, I really appreciate it and your sweet support!

Aloha Rita from Kona, Hawaii…
Mahalo (thank you) for a great idea for this month. I thought of a rabbit springing theme but with the bottled water and packets, it will give my vt sisters a refreshing message…Happy Easter…Luana

Rita
Rita, Thank you so much for your V.T. ideas month. They are incredible.
I am wondering how you put your own message on the blank cards. When I make a text box it whites it out within the border on my Mac. I have also tried copy and paste and that does not seem to work. Any ideas?
Thank you, Cheryl
Cheryl, I do not have a Mac, but is there a place to make turn the background color to “none”? You might have to right click to find it, or it could be a drop down box at the top of the page. Hope this helps.
Rita
