June Visiting Teaching

Sisters,
 

Below is direction from our Stake Relief Society President on the visiting teaching message for this month. In order to help our sisters be prepared, which is our focus this year, please read and follow the instructions given below.  I testify as you are obedient to this you will bless the lives of the Sisters you have stewardship over and your life will be enriched and blessed also. Our lives are always blessed when we are obedient to the council given by our leaders.

Love,
Sister Shelley Mortensen



Dear Sisters -

As I was studying the visiting teaching message this month I was struck by the beauty by which our 8 Steps to Preparedness fits in so wonderfully.
 
I would hope that you would encourage yourselves to use the cards that have been prepared for the families of the Brandon Stake - to talk seriously with your assigned sisters about their state of temporal preparedness. They should counsel with them about ways to become more temporally prepared - and set easy, attainable goals to do so. Then, as you return each month, you can check to see the progress that is being made and reset goals to achieve more.
 
I testify that our homes are greatly strengthened as we put an emphasis on being temporally prepared. This self reliance gives us the peace and the freedom to help others. We are more available to serve and be instruments for good.
 
Thank you for all that you do to help your sisters. There are many who are in need of divine assistance which is often meted out through you.

Here is a link for the preparedness checklist.  

Please call those you visit teach or the letter routes and ask them if they have filled out the checklist online.  If not click on the link above, and fill in their information and save it.  If they would like to do it themselves, give them the link above and ask them to do it that day. You will be asking them the questions on the same check list we received at church 2 weeks ago.  If you don't have the check list, it is on the Stake Preparedness website and under the page called "Check Before the Storm."

If you could please complete this by June 9th. This will be a great way to make contact with your Sisters early in the month, you could combine setting up your next appointment to visit them, to discuss their preparedness status.

I appreciate your willingness to complete this assignment. Again, we as a presidency feel the urgency to see all our families and sisters prepared temporally. Sister Jensen our Stake RS President and the Stake Presidency also feel concerned that we be prepared this season.  Even the Ensign this month and last has urged us to take action and be prepared.

Let us be obedient and work on our preparedness so we can have peace of mind, and be blessed.

Love
Sister Shelley Mortensen
