Hello Sisters! It has been over a week since our VT Coordinator sent me an email-- extending an assignment to send you weekly VT inspirational message. First of all I am truly happy to receive this assignment and pray that i,through the guidance of the Holy Spirirt,may always feel inspired to send you messages that will help us be reminded always of our responsibilities as Visiting Teachers and continue our desire to uplift and be uplifted.So to start with i am sending you this beautiful story i read of how Visiting Teaching made a difference to this sister's life-- may not be dramatic like going back to church but how a sincere, patient and loving visit can add "sunshine" in one's life. ENJOY!(By the way, this is a true story)
"My biggest claim to success in Visiting Teaching is that we once visited a less active woman who always kept her drapes completely closed, lights off, and always wore black. For over a year, we visit taught her in total darkness. Then, gradually, she opened the drapes a bit, turned on the lights, and once even wore a yellow shirt! She never came back to church, but maybe we turned her "light on" in a completely different way. She told us that she had never had any friends---we were the closest thing to it."
Hugs and Kisses,
cherry Soleta
