September Visiting Teaching

Thank you so much for reporting your visiting teaching and thank you, as always, for being visiting teachers! I hope you realize how important this calling is.

Here are the links to the visiting teaching message and handout for September:

I just want you to know that your service as a visiting teacher is so helpful to the Relief Society Presidency, the Bishopric, and--most importantly--to the Lord. Through the visiting teaching program, each and every sister in the ward has someone looking out for them. How amazing is that?

I hope everyone's adjusting to the new school year well. Have a wonderful month!

·Cutting mat
·Acrylic Quilting ruler/square
