So I have been really bummed recently that I haven't gotten a calling in mine and Michael's new ward...even AFTER dropping some not so subtle hints to the Bishop. However my hint dropping did get Michael a calling as Sunday School Executive Secretary...so at least one of us has been utilized -lol-
Anyways, the Relief Society session of General Conference a few weeks ago got me thinking that I need to make Visiting Teaching my calling. And I don't think there's a time more opportune than now to do so. In the past my handouts have just been little quotes and such, but when I think back on the Visiting Teachers I really liked I remember that it was because I could feel a distinct effort in their lesson and little treats for me each month.So in an attempt to emulate that, this month I made my own unique little handout and am making my girls chocolate chip pumpkin cookies...complete with a festive jack-o-lantern plate.
Anyways, I didn't know if anyone else might want to use this handout I made, so I figured I could put it up for people to copy/download. I made it at 300 ppi so it should be large enough to vary any size handout you like.
Hopefully I will have something fun each month like this to post that others can use :)
You are so creative! I wish you were my visiting teacher. =)
ReplyDeleteSarah, I will probably use your blog as encouragement for the sisters in my ward to do their visiting teaching. I love that you "decided" being a visiting teacher is your calling. I sat with our Visiting Teaching coodinator for an hour and a half last night making changes, worried about who to put with who & to make sure this sister is with someone that will be the "strong" one. So I whine. I will now get down off my soapbox:)
ReplyDeleteYou are so amazing & talented, I love the cards
Thanks so much Emily! It is great to know that someone out there is reading my little tidbits I throw out into the universe. I have had such great experiences with my girls since I started magnifying this as a calling and I can tell that it means so much to them. I never realized what a powerful tool that visiting teaching can be. Good luck with everything you have on your plate!
