Visiting Teaching Interviews

Posted on by

As a newly called Relief Society Presidency in our branch, we were told that one of the responsibilities we had was to hold visiting teaching interviews. This was somewhat startling to most of us, as I don’t think any of the four of us had actually ever been interviewed regarding our visiting teaching. This leads me to believe that this is a somewhat neglected activity. Yet I would encourage any of you responsible for visiting teaching to consider taking the steps necessary to ensure such interviews are performed. Although we were told that these interviews could be done over the … Continue reading →

The Ten Lines of Defense

The Church is really focusing on the family, recently more so than ever as we’ve seen from the worldwide broadcast, the Visiting Teaching message this month, and other forms of media. The family is crucial to our Heavenly Father’s plan for His children, and as such, we should protect it above all else. When my husband went to Stake Conference last week (yes, I sluffed – I was sick) he picked up a wonderful flyer from the bulletin board. It reads: The 10 Lines of Defense for Our Family 1.

Padding the Resume

Posted on by

Last week, our stake held a career workshop. One of our stay-at-home moms came back revitalized. She confessed that she had always been nervous about jobhunting because she felt her resume to be weak. After the workshop, she realized her many strengths, proven both at home and at church. Although many of us reading this are called to be stay-at-home moms, there are times that mothers enter the workplace. We may take jobs when our children are grown, or we may have the task of supporting our family thrust upon us by the divorce, death, or disablement of our spouse. … Continue reading →

Camping Out

Posted on by

I just came home from an awesome Relief Society activity. We had a campfire right in the middle of the Primary room, told scary stories, and had an awesome time bonding. And we managed to host a visiting teaching seminar, as well. I’d like to pass on this great idea, courtesy of our President. First, the setting. We were originally planning to host the campout in the chapel, but we decided that the Primary room was more cozy – and it was. We built a campfire right in the middle of the floor. Not a real fire, of course (although … Continue reading →
