Visiting Teaching Conference

Thanks to our Relief Society Presidency for another wonderful and inspiring Visiting Teaching Conference. The theme this year is from a quote from Lucy Mack Smith, "We must cherish one another, watch over one another, comfort one another, and gain instruction, that we may all sit down in heaven together."

A change is being made on how we report our visiting teaching. We will now report to a member of our Relief Society presidency so we can share any concerns, temporally or spiritually, directly with them.

From a handout from the meeting we learn . . .
