September’s visiting teaching message is The Divine Mission of Jesus Christ: Comforter. This month, the thing that struck me most from the lesson was the scripture in John 14:18. “I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you.” It was something that I personally needed to hear and to ponder. I fear that…
August’s Visiting Teaching Message is The Divine Mission of Jesus Christ: Messiah. Messiah. It’s a word I say, but not one I completely understand. I have a basic idea of its meaning, of course, but not really. I know that if Jesus Christ is the Messiah that it’s some sort of set apart and special…
July’s Visiting Teaching Message is The Divine Mission of Jesus Christ: Advocate. Can I just say that I am really loving the focus on The Savior this year in our Visiting Teaching? I say this, because this month’s focus—Jesus Christ as Advocate—is something I don’t think about as much when thinking of Christ. It’s something…
Ever since I spent a summer performing in Nauvoo, Illinois, I have been a huge Church History Fan. I absolutely love hearing the stories of faith and the experiences that the early members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints had. Curious about how I ended up as a performer in Nauvoo? Click…
The June Visiting Teaching Lesson is The Divine Mission of Jesus Christ: Minister “But Jesus called them unto him, and said, Ye know that the princes of the Gentiles exercise dominion over them, and they that are great exercise authority upon them. “But it shall not be so among you: but whosoever will be great…
First of all, I would like to apologize for never getting an April printable up. I was so entrenched in opera rehearsals and performances that I barely had time to breathe and blogging took a back seat. Also, I did not do my own visiting teaching in April, so…yeah. It’s May now, and though it’s…
In this post from 2010, I talked about making temple envelopes for my young women. It was for a lesson on temple preparation. I found a poem online somewhere and attached it to the envelopes. I had a reader email me today about what the poem was, because you can’t see the entire thing in…
While watching General Conference last weekend, I noticed a few distinct themes that were things I personally needed to hear. The first of those themes was Obedience. I loved Elder Hales’ and Elder Perry’s talks on Obedience. Elder Hales: If Ye Love Me, Keep My Commandments focused on following the Savior’s example in obedience, using our…
It’s conference time again. Oh, how I love General Conference time. Last night was the General Women’s Meeting and I was spiritually filled. Which is good, because I am currently not at church right now. Instead, I am home with a very sick Sophia. The whole meeting was so good that I don’t even know…
The March Visiting Teaching Message is The Divine Mission of Jesus Christ: Light of the World. “Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.” –John 8:12 My favorite quote in the lesson was…
I don’t know what happens at your house, but at our house, we have a problem with moderating electronic devices. Rules are in place, and mostly followed, but I don’t like the way my children would rather sit in front of a screen instead of go outside and play, read a book, play with toys,…
The February Visiting Teaching lesson is The Divine Mission of Jesus Christ: The Good Shepherd. I do love the image of Christ being a loving shepherd and we his sheep. “What man of you, having an hundred sheep, if he lose one of them, doth not leave the ninety and nine in the wilderness, and…
