About Visiting Teaching

Sister Jennifer Walther, our beloved RS president, said that we need to step up a little bit on visiting teaching. Instead of being satisfied with monthly contact via phone, email, or mail, we should try to go over our assigned sisters' houses and visit teach them once a month. Amen for that. To me there is nothing better than having my visting teachers in my house conversing with me. I totally enjoyed the chatting and the heartfelt conversations with my visiting teachers. I understand there may be some difficulties you are dealing with (difficulty to schedule appointments or counldn't get hold of your companion...) As long as you try your hardest, I know God will bless your efforts. He knows the sacrifices you make. I have a tesimony of that. Another suggestion I have is to do visiting teaching early each month, so you have more chances to succeed.

Reaching New Height in Providence Living

On Thursday, I went to Rita Nugent's house to watch her do cannery. I finally learned how to do it (I think.) I also got to see her garage where she stores her food. It's basically an extended pantry with massive quantities. I jokingly said to Rita that she is an ideal LDS pioneer woman: she cans her own food, bakes her own bread, catches her own fish, and grows her own garden. I still need to overcome my laziness and excuses. Hopefully, I can be more self-reliant like Rita and many others in our ward.
