January Visiting Teaching Message {Free Printable}

I am passionate about missionary work and love any opportunity I get to share my beliefs and what brings me the greatest joy and peace in the world . . . the Gospel of Jesus Christ. I am FAR from comfortable with saying the right thing at the right time but believe our example and lifestyle is one of the best examples. 

I have missed a few months, but hopefully am back in the swing of things with posting month visiting teaching printables. 

Do download this months, click the download link below.

I love how it says that not only does "the Lord ENTRUST a testimony of truth" to us but expects the members to "declare His gospel with the sound of rejoicing" at ALL times. 

LOVE!! I hope you enjoy!

September Visiting Teaching Message {free printable}

"The needs of others are ever present, and each of us can do something to help someone."

President Thomas S. Monson

The September visiting teaching message is yet another great reminder of the importance of serving those we visit teach. Even if it as simple as a phone call, e-mail, text, smile, sitting with them at church, etc. we can make a difference in their lives. I hope you enjoy this simple but great message from President Thomas S. Monson about losing ourselves in service.

As always, click the download button below to get your 5x7 print . . . and deliver to your sisters!

August Visiting Teaching Message {free calling card}

I decided to do something a little different with this month's visiting teaching printable. I am sure I am not the only one who is noticing a theme with the message's this year . . . the importance of visiting teaching!!! I loved the whole article this month and couldn't pick out my favorite so I think it's time to have a "calling card" to give our sisters. 

I love how it states, "If I have problems, I know my visiting teachers will help without waiting to be asked." I know giving out your number means they have to call and ask, but it's a wonderful feeling to know that there is someone there for you when you need it. . . especially when you don't live by family! 

We have been talking about the importance of visiting those we have been called to serve because, like the message says, the Bishop can't possibly visit everyone and know their needs. That is our job and "we can have 'great reason . . . to rejoice' because of 'the blessing which hath been bestowed upon us, that we have been made instruments in his hands of God to bring about this great work' (Alma 26:1, 3)"

Click on the image above, save to your computer, print and fill in your name on the top line with your number on the second. Fill in your partner's name and number on the next two lines. You can also include your e-mail! I hope this helps our sisters know that if they need anything, they can call ANYTIME!

Enjoy!

Thank you tags for Nursery Leaders

We have been in our ward for just over two years and the same two sweet, patient, loving ladies have greeted my two loud, crazy and at times crying boys. . . for five months they had to deal with both of them. As I drop the boys off every Sunday, I think about how wonderful they are to watch a room FULL of 18 month olds to 3 year old kids with a smile on their face. . . and how grateful I am to be able to go to Sunday school and Relief Society without chasing a little boy around.

With that being said, a mini loaf of bread isn't near enough to thank the nursery leaders but I hope my small gesture lets them know how much they are appreciated.

You can say thank you to the nursery leaders in your ward by simply clicking the download button below, printing, cutting out and delivering!

Enjoy!!

July Visiting Teaching Message {free printable}

I love this month's visiting teaching message about "Demonstrating our Discipleship through Love and Service." What better way to show those we visit we love and care about them than by serving them? Christ was the ultimate example in giving his life to service and we can be like him as stated in John 13:25, “By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another”

The message gives seven examples that if we follow, we can be like Christ in ministering and showing our love to those sisters we visit. 

Simply click the download button below to download two 5x7's per page, cut in half and deliver to your sisters. 

Enjoy!

July Visiting Teaching Message {Free Printable}

my good friend has been asking me to make a visiting teaching card for her to take or send to her ladies each month and it gave me the idea to share these each month with my lovely friends here on sugartot designs. 

this may come a little late for some of you . . . a little early for me (i need to work on that)
but i will start posting these the first day of every month, so be be sure to come back and print up a card for your ladies.
for those of you wondering what visiting teaching is. . . well, for me, it has been a lifesaver through all our moves. we, as members of the church of Jesus Christ of latter day saints, have the opportunity to be assigned, along with a partner, ladies to visit, support, comfort, provide help in any way and form a friendship.
these ladies have been at my door ready to help and make me feel welcome when moving to cleveland and omaha when i didn't know a single person.
it truly is an inspiring program and hope these messages help you get out the door and visit your "sisters" each month.

and our own "marley and me" experience.
since we moved to omaha, i have been teaching the 4-5 year old kids at church every sunday
and just got released and called into the relief society.
i did not think i would be this sad to leave my sweet little kids who always made me laugh and taught me more than i probably taught them . . .
and now i have to come up with activities every month for the women . . .
i foresee lots of printables in the future.
anyways, i made this poster to go along with most of our lessons this year and am sorry that i am just posting it now, but i am sure it will still come in handy for future lessons and fhe.
i laminated both pages, cut out the steps and taped them each week as we talked about them.
