Today's V.T. Message in R.S.

For those of you that didn't get to be in Relief Society today, this message was shared about visiting teaching: 


Sister Beck taught that visiting teaching is one of the most effective ways to bring about the Lord’s work of salvation, since it gives sisters an opportunity to personally nurture and strengthen each other as the Savior did. “Because we follow the example and teachings of Jesus Christ,” she said, “we value this sacred assignment to love, know, serve, understand, teach, and minister in His behalf. … A sister in this Church has no other responsibility outside of her family that has the potential to do as much good as does visiting teaching.”⁴

Revelation also plays a key role in visiting teaching as it leads and guides sisters to know how to minister to one another throughout the month. “It is our blessing,” Sister Beck emphasized, “to pray for another sister and receive inspiration as to how the Lord would have us care for one of His daughters.

“Visiting teaching becomes the Lord’s work when our focus is on people rather than percentages. In reality, visiting teaching is never finished. It is more a way of life than a task. Faithfully serving as a visiting teacher is evidence of our discipleship.”

If only we realized just how important visiting teaching is. Please, ladies, remember to do your visiting teaching this month. And remember to keep your sisters in your prayers.
