Visiting Teaching Conference

We are all daughters of God.
Heavenly Father wants us to watch out for each other.
That is why we have the program of Visiting Teaching.

A Tribute
I'm just a visiting teacher, I heard a sister say,
But Oh how golden was the key that she had used today.
It had opened doors of comfort and doors of hopefulness,
For lonely hearts and troubled minds and brought them happiness.
A sweetly-worded message that she had humbly left inside,
And every home she visited seemed sweetly purified.
No Idle words of gossip, no ugly thought was left to scar.
No wonder God was pleased as he watched her from afar.
So she is "just a visiting teacher," how little does she know
How valuable, how welcome, her monthly visits grow!
As she turns the key of service that fits in every lock,
Of every precious sister whom she visits on her block.
