"We visit teach because we've made covenants with the Lord, and they are fulfilled as we share our hearts and souls. We visit teach to extend charity, which is the "highest, noblest, strongest kind of love." Visiting teaching is all about family. As we show charity to those we serve, we become family by affection. We all belong to the Lord's family, and when we serve sisters—and through them their families—we strengthen the family as designed in the heavens...Regular visits, phone calls, notes in the mail, treats, a visit at church, a gathering of several sisters, a lunch meeting, all can be incorporated into visiting teaching. Keep in mind that flexibility addresses when, where, and how but does not discount the importance of watchcare."
(Bonnie Parkin, 2003,Visiting Teaching: The Heart and Soul of Relief Society)
Great strength can be found in the testimony of other sisters. Share your testimony and experiences of visiting teaching by posting a comment below.
