Dear Sisters, Would you all take a few minutes to relate a visiting teaching experience. Whether it is about your wonderful visiting teachers or about the relationship you have or had with sisters you visit (or used to visit). To those of you who are less active, would you share what is the best way to VT you and to be able to help you. Let me give you some background: As you know, I serve as RS Pres. and VT is one of my biggest challenges. I live in SLC, UT. Assigning, of course, is through the spirit. We have quite a cross-section of economical backgrounds in our ward from attorneys and Drs. to those on welfare. We also have a number of students--both married and single. The students and those on welfare are very transient. A large number of the sisters in our ward are single-- divorced, widowed or never married. We range in ages from 18-96. About 50 are over 60. We have 230 sisters in our ward and about half are less active, and most of them have NEVER been to church. Some of them want NO contact. Others will accept our RS newsletter that we mail monthly and that is the only contact they want. I'm looking for success stories I guess, to encourage my VT to be consistant, learn to love those they teach and gain testimonies of visiting teaching. Do's and don'ts will be great too. After 3 1/2 yrs. of trying to light that spark in some, I'm running out of ideas. It seems when I really push with the inspirational stories and testimonies we have the most success. Thanks for any input. I appreciate you all. Love, ( ) Peg \|/
