Visiting Teaching
Please contact your visiting teaching supervisor as soon as your visiting teaching is completed. This will help the ladies that record visiting teaching statistics tremendously. Also, if by chance you don't complete your visiting teaching, please report that also. There are 11 more days to visit teach this month. Please let your sisters know they are cared for!

Come to The Temple
The theme for this year is attending the house of God - the temple.
The Kirtland temple was the first one built. Endownments and sealings were performed for the saints in the Nauvoo Temple.
In 1980 the Church had 21 temples; today we have 140.
Temples provide ordinances necessary for entrance to the celestial kingdom. Blessings are received, and purpose for our lives is received by temple attendance.
This year please strive to make temple attendance a priority.

Lesson Synopsis of 12/9/12
Relief Society, Dec. 9, 2012
Kindness is how a Christlike person treats others:
Kindness is a spirit of kindness not harshness
We can control our tongues. What we say cannot be taken back.
We must look for the good in someone.
Giving honest praise and compliments helps others feel successful. We tend to live up to expectations others have of us.
A wonderful primary song "I'm Trying to Be Like Jesus" helps children learn the necessity of kindness.

Keeping Christ in Christmas
As we enter the holiday season let us remember to keep the Savior in the Christmas message. Although "X-Mas" is popular, it eliminates the reason for our celebration.
Let us teach our children what we truely believe about Christmas.
Cards could be selected that do not emphasize Santa.
Shown in the lesson was a Christmas tree with the following explanations:
Green: hope grows heavenward
Star: Jesus was born. The Promise was fullfilled and a star shown brightly to announce His birth.
Red ball ornaments: Theblood of Christ was shed for us
Bells: Angels sang, and shephards were coming to worship Him
Candy canes: The shape "J" stands for Jesus
Wreath: The circle represents eternal life
Remember - keep Christ in Christmas!

Presidency Message: How Can I Become A More Effective Visiting Teacher?
Jesus Christ blessed individuals during his ministry. Prophets throughout the history of the Church have expounded on the obligation saints have to serve others and told of the blessings all receive from that service. As Relief Society sisters visit those they have been called to serve they should: a) speak words of comfort and peace, b) carry the spirit of love into their homes, c) pray for them, d) be their friend.
As we come to know those we serve we can learn of their needs. Those may include temporal, health, emotional, spiritual, and strengthen their testimony. We have the opportunity to rescue in any way needed - pitch in!
Every sister has the opportunity to be a visiting teacher and have a responsibility to know and care about their sisters. Those we visit should feel comfortable enough to ask for assistance. Caring/loving visiting teachers can help those who are inactive return to the fold.
Reporting your visiting teaching during the month is important for the Relief Society president and the bishop to know where needs are. Call your supervisor. Do not wait for her to call you.
The bishop cannot take care of everyone individually. Visiting teaching is a stewardship.
Visiting teaching blesses us and blesses our ward!
