Last post for this month. I am sure you all have seen this Visiting Teaching Cartoon going around from 9thWardCartoons.com but I couldn’t resist posting it this month seeing as it is obviously a perfect fit with this month’s Visiting Teaching message. Could be an enhancer too, okay well maybe only for me.

These rolls are a perfect way to help us focus on the Resurrection of Jesus Christ. The marshmallows placed inside the rolls before baking disappear after they have been baked. See the cute Visiting Teaching or even Home Teaching gift idea with tag below.

So here’s a cute idea for Relief Society Presidencies or Visiting Teaching Supervisors/Coordinators which I heard is totally cute. It’s called the “Feed My Sheep Poster.”
Use 2 large pieces of white poster board, label each “Feed My Sheep”. Leave one completely white, and draw green grass on the other board, making it look like a field. Display both boards next to each other.
Then cut out one little tiny sheep for each of the sisters in the ward and place them on the blank poster with velcro or magnets. …

If you haven’t gone Visiting Teaching yet, no worries, I found another message enhancer for you. Today I found this super awesome idea on another cute Visiting Teaching blog by Kristin to enhance March’s Visiting Teaching Message. So glad others feel the same way about Visiting Teaching as I do. :) You can also use this message enhancer as a drop by gift, just to keep reinforcing this month’s message, depending on what part of the message you want to focus on for the sisters you Visit Teach.

Has a sister you Visit Teach ever asked you that? (Yes, some may ask you this because they may not remember, especially if they haven’t gone to church in a long while.) Has anyone ever asked you that? Can you answer that question accurately and would you be happy with the way you answered it? I sure can’t. I’ve read The Book of Mormon several times now, but I still couldn’t tell you all of the stories and facts without messing up. I probably couldn’t even tell it to you …

“Good visiting teachers know the sisters they visit. They love them, serve them, and help them learn the gospel by the Spirit. They focus on fortifying homes and lives. There is no …
