Lets
talk about how we do it and how we can do it. I have been on line
researching visiting teaching and have found of course an over load
of information. So I am going to try to trim it down. Lets start
with duties.
The
Duties of Visiting Teachers:
- Prepare for visits by studying the message and adapting it to each individual sister. Also, by praying with their companions before their visits.
- Make regular monthly visits, and other contacts as needed, to each sister in their assigned district, conveying messages as directed by the Relief Society President.
- Encourage sisters to attend weekly Relief Society meetings.
- Develop helpful, friendly, trusting relationships with sisters. Any personal matters learned by the visiting teachers should be kept confidential.
- Report to the Relief Society President immediately any matter of urgent need.
- Render emergency compassionate service when needed at the time of a visit. They should also promptly report both the service and the need to the Relief Society President.
- Notify district supervisor, when they are unable to make a monthly visit.
- Report monthly visits to their district supervisor.
- Report changes in their district since their last visit.
- Attend the baptism of a convert sister when assigned her as a visiting teachers.
