Hello Sisters!!

Just wanted to let you know that I've updated our "Upcoming Events" page. So, be sure to check out some of the new ones so that you can put them on your calendar ... there are some great things coming up!!

Also, is there anyone in the ward who is up to babysitting? We have a sister who is looking for daycare on a continual basis.

Thank you so much!

Visiting Teaching Update

Hello Sisters!! I hope you're having a great start to September. I know it's early, but I, personally, am working on getting my Visiting Teaching started earlier in the month. So, I spent some time today looking at ideas for handouts so that as I pray for my sisters, I will know just the right message each sisters should receive.

Here is a beautiful handout that I downloaded from the link at "Spiritually Speaking." It's beautiful, and I've uploaded it for you to use, if you feel it would work for your particular sisters:

I love this quote by President Monson. Who better to inspire us, than someone who has given so much service for so many years.

I also found this handout from Spiritually Speaking, however she had downloaded it from "Say It Write." What do you think of this one?

And lastly, if you're not Chevroned out, here's a great aqua chevron handout that has 4 on one sheet, or on large one, they are from the Mormon Mommy Blog:

There were about 12 different handouts listed on Spiritually Speaking, so if these don't "speak" (forgive the pun, I couldn't help myself!) to you, then you have quite a few more options.

Good luck Sisters ... I'm so proud of you for being willing to Visit by Counting with Caring, instead of Counting with Numbers!!

Warm Regards,

New Visiting Teaching Page

Ta Da ....

We now have an official Visiting Teaching page, devoted just to assisting you with your Visiting Teaching. If you'll notice at the top, there is a tab next to Home, which says Visiting Teaching. Click on that, and you'll find information about Visiting Teaching.

Please feel free to use it as a forumn to assist each other, share ideas, problems (unless they are confidential) etc. so that we can work together to live the higher law of "Caring, not Counting."

Also, for our new sisters, please note that if you feel comfortable adding your blog page to our blog links, we would love to have you send them to us to add to our page. If you do not feel comfortable, then please don't worry. It just offers us another way to get to know you and your family better, as well as for you to know us better. However, if you feel it is a little too intrusive, we definitely understand and do not ask you to do anything that does not feel comfortable.

I will continue to be adding more pages and developing this site, so if there are any Blogger Extraordinaires our there, please don't hesitate to give me some tips. I've had to have a crash course in blogs and am slowly but surely learning how to most effectively use it.

Love to all,

Sis. Lorraine Dunnington
