Visiting Teaching

Visiting Teaching is such an inspired activity in our church that has blessed my life. It has given me the opportunity to rub shoulders with some amazing women that otherwise, I may not have ever associated.  Through Visiting Teaching I met my companion Sister Caballero. She taught the message today as we were visiting our sisters and she brought such a sweet spirit in with her. She applied the principle of the message to real life experiences that she has had. We come from different backgrounds, and are in different stages in our lives. She is a strong single mother, and I am a young newlywed with no children. However this calling has brought us together and though we have only been companions a few months I have learned so much from her. Our common link is the beautiful gospel of Jesus Christ. We both share a love of the gospel and are so grateful for the blessings that have demonstrated our obedient and have served together. We talk about how hard it is to get all of these women to correlate their schedules to meet, get a message prepared, leave our family at home as we visit these sisters, and a million other excuses, but every time that we go, we leave the homes of those sisters thinking, we are so glad that we went. I have a testimony that Heavenly Father has given us Relief Society and Visiting teaching so that we can be happy, and I have seen that happen in my life. I am grateful for strong women in the church that set a great example for me. I love the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints and I am so grateful that I am blessed to be a part of it.
