Sisters I am so excited to hear that L. Tom Perry is presiding at our
Stake Conference on August 9th - 10th.
My husband and I were visiting an
inactive sister last week and as he shared the home teaching message about
Family History her face lit up. She said that she loved Family History and
excitedly told us that her cousin in Idaho had just been sharing stories with
her and she especially loved hearing ones about her mother as she had only been
9 when her mother passed away. Scott informed her that there was a Family
History Center at the Stake Center. I felt prompted at that time to mention that
church meetings start at 1:00 pm each Sunday if she had been thinking about wanting
to attend. She nodded that she had been thinking about it. Then worried that she
might show up to an empty building on the second Sunday in August I quickly
told her that it would be at the Stake Center at 10:00 am that day as it was Stake
Conference. When I told her that one of the apostles would be attending her
face lit up once again and she responded that she would call her ex
mother-in-law to see if they could go together. We said that they were
announcing the apostles name on Sunday and would be sure to let her know who it
was.
On my way home that night
I realized how much that information meant to that sister
and vowed then that I would go out visiting teaching early in August so that my
sisters know they have the opportunity to be in the same room as an apostle of
our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
Tonight while
looking up information about L. Tom Perry I feel inspired to print and share
some of the following along with the Visiting Teaching Message in
August.

we be the best visiting teachers that we can
be.
