RS Lesson: Visiting Teaching

Edith Obregon gave a lovely lesson in Relief Society today about Visiting Teaching.  We shared times in our lives when our Visiting Teachers have served us, offered friendship, and made a difference.

Edith shared that we need to do more than check a box each month that we have compelted our Visiting Teaching. We should serve out of love and grow a friendship with our companions and the sisters we serve.  We should also accept service when we need it in order to afford the blessings of service to others as they meet our needs.

Edith shared a verse from the Bible found in James 1:27 "Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world." It is the essence of our religion and faith to reach out to others and uplift them.
