We had a lovely, uplifting Visiting Teaching Conference during the second and third hours of church today, and enjoyed having so many sisters in attendance. We missed those of you who were not able to be there.
Our theme was "Instrument of the Lord," and how we have the opportunity to be an instrument of the Lord in extending His love, compassion, and charity to the sisters we've been called to visit.
Thank you, Deb & Sue, and Cheryl for your beautiful musical numbers.
Sheryl gave a beautiful talk including the story of Esther, and examples of women today who, through their efforts in visiting teaching extend the love of the Lord and make a difference, even when their efforts may seem insignificant. Our every effort IS important, noticed or not.
We offered a 6 week "Coming unto Christ through Visiting Teaching" booklet. If you did not get one, there will be extras in Relief Society through May. Please make sure that those you visit teach received their own copy. Our hope is that this little "program" may be a spiritual journey for each sister in our RS; that we, through our divine role as women, will find joy in supporting one another in our responsibilities, roles, and dreams. By following the example of our Savior, will this uplifting relationship of sisterhood come more naturally? How will our relationship with Christ grow? Will there be personal growth? Let's find out... together!
We watched the following video, Reflections of Christ.
Finally..... we gave Connie her quilt. I'll post pictures here just as soon as I get them. Connie cried, and we all got to express our love for her. We are so blessed to have angel Connie in our RS, and now she will be constantly reminded of our compassion for her.
On behalf of the RS Pres'y, I want to add that we love each of you, sisters, and are so very thankful for all that you do!
With Love,
Rebecca
