Time for an Update

Andrew says it’s been WAY TOO long since I updated the blog. I agree. But as I told him, nothing has really been going on around here. Despite my pessimism I guess I can find something to blog about so that everyone knows we are still alive.

These are the upcoming blogs that I'm working on....stay tuned.  Oh, I promise some pictures too.  This blog has gotten very boring lately.

Visiting Teaching

For a long time, I was a very bad visiting teacher. I have lots of excuses (I’ll spare you them) but the truth is, I just didn’t try very hard to do it. Last year, after reading lots of talks about the importance of visiting teaching, I decided that I really should try to be a better visiting teacher. So it kinda became my resolution last year that I’ve continued into this year. I’m proud to report that I’ve been getting better and better at doing my visiting teaching almost perfectly (meaning I go every month—not that I prepare the best lessons or do the best things for the ladies I visit teach). But I contact the girls, make it to their house almost every month, take them little gifts, and do seriously have concern for them.

Some things I’ve learned from visiting teaching:

1. It’s really not that hard or time consuming to do it.

2. Your excuses are really just that….excuses.

3. Having a great partner helps a lot (mine is my sister—lucky me!)

4. It doesn’t matter who you visit teach, you really can become friends with anyone and enjoy visiting with them each month

5. We all need a little bit more church in our lives so the mid-week little thoughts are great reminders of what we should be doing.

6. And most importantly, it makes life a little bit less about me and more about others.

Now, go do your visiting teaching.
