“Taking
Action in Time of Need”
As visiting teachers, one of our purposes is to help
strengthen families and homes. The sisters we visit should be able to say, “If
I have problems, I know my visiting teachers will help without waiting to be
asked.” In order to serve, we have a responsibility to be conscious of the
needs of the sisters we visit. When we seek inspiration, we will know how to
respond to the spiritual and temporal needs of each sister we are assigned to
visit. Then, using our time, skills, talents, prayers of faith, and spiritual
and emotional support, we can help give compassionate service during times of
illness, death, and other special circumstances.
