A Word About Visiting Teaching

It's funny, every once in awhile it hits me and today was one of those days. It's something that I have been doing since I was 18. I was lucky enough to be partnered with my mother, who is an angel. She taught me years previous, by her diligence and example, the importance of visiting teaching. Now I am partnered with my own daughter and my life has come full circle. What a blessing.
I don't think I am the best visiting teacher, in fact sometimes I am a bit flaky. All that said, I have to say how much I love visiting teaching. I love it. I love the sisters I teach, I love the partner I go with and I love the sisters who teach me.
Today, as usual, I learned more than I taught and on the way home, with a book borrowed from the sister I saw, I counted my blessings. Heavenly Father has given me so much through this inspired program. The greatest blessing I have received from the visiting teaching program? A connection with sisters that helps me be a better wife and mother and friend, because each sister has become my friend. And who can have too many friends?
