Teaching Home and Teaching Visiting

Ah, so this is where you got your idea from LDS? I was wondering why you decided to do all those things for the Sisters you visit. Seems like this board is even giving ideas to practical visiting teaching - cool.

JB actually yes, Farseer inspired me when she said she put all this package for the sisters I said to myself, wait a minute! it would be so cool if my companion and I can go to the sisters and do it ourselves! it would be so much fun!!!!!

@Farseer, sorry I stole your idea thank you!

Teaching Home and Teaching Visiting

Hopefully, I will visit the sisters next week if possible and I will update here how everything went.

Visiting Teaching & Home Teaching

We have something in Guyana called a Family Fun Evening (FFE) which is normally held on Thursdays in the Kitty and other areas. Each area where there are numbers of LDS members is divided into groups of 6 persons. They meet each week or fortnightly to have spiritual food, drinks and eats and a cultural event, even games.

This creates a fun, friendly environment which leads to an increase in HT/VT. Friends help friends. Create the friendship and the HT/VT will follow smoothly. It takes a FFE Coordinator to ensure that each group is having it's FFE.

Hope that this comment helped. WB

Hi Peter. We have the same thing here in Trinidad but I do find that the members and missionaries waste too much time in this kind of 'fun' activities and they forget about the poor, the needy and the one who may be ill. I can give you several examples of this that I see constantly. Is okay to have fun and socialize but when these things are replacing the real important activities like home and visiting teaching, then in my opinion is wrong and it doesn't serve any purpose. At least, this is how I see it happening in Trinidad.

Ok, I'm still sorta new with the VT and I am sorta left with a few questions. I was talking with my companion and she was telling me that phone calls to the sisters on our list count as a 'visit' or if we see them in like Walmart or something, she counts it as a 'visit'.

Is it me, or does this just not sound right? I thought that VT were supposed to go out to the home and visit with the sisters on their list?

Plus, I have yet to go out to visit with anyone as of yet. My companion is quite younger than me and very busy with her college studies, but when I call to find out what her schedule is, she says, 'it's sorta busy right now' and tells me that she'll get back to me on when we can go out to do our visits. But she never gets back to me. I don't want to sound like I'm complaining about my companion, but I am left wondering what I should do.

Is it possible for me to do my visits alone? But with me never being out to visit anyone yet, I am really at a loss as to what to do or say while I'm visiting. Any help would greatly be appreciated. Thx.
