July Visiting Teaching Handout.

| Uncategorized

This month’s Visiting Teaching message is on:
The Divine Mission of Jesus Christ: Advocate
{I know, I know, I’m super early with this but I’m going out of town and wanted to have it up and ready to use for my readers! I have the best readers around!!}  

Two ideas came to mind as I started planning my handout based around this theme.

I’m offering BOTH for FREE as always, but I’m curious to know WHICH handout, people use – – so PLEASE, if you download one or the other please comment and let me know which one you’re using.  I like to know what my readers like 🙂

Handout #1:
All you need is a bottle of Fanta soda.
That’s it! 
Tie it up with some cute ribbon and this tag…

Handout #2:

Based after this quote from President Uchtdorf found on the LDS website:

The repetitive-ness of the ‘Let Us’ really stuck out to me.
Hence, the LETTUCE theme.
{Smile}.

If you choose to go with the garden gloves and seeds, you can find both of those at either The Dollar Tree 
or in the $ bins at Target right now.

I personally, loved the idea of giving a salad kit to someone to use for dinner.

Other suggestions to go with this tag: 

* A fresh head of romaine. {I LOVE fresh romaine lettuce!}

*If you’re needing to bring a dinner or lunch to someone – – you could buy those pre-made lettuce wraps at Costco and attach the tag.

Lots you could do with either of these handouts!
HAVE FUN!!

  1. Can you please email a copy of your fan tag if still available, using it for my sisters this month and love it! 🙂 Thank you so much for your talent and sharing.

    • Any way you could email me the fan tag? I would like to use it at girls camp. Thx

  2. Thank you for all you do for the Ministering Sisters who are not as up on the new creative programs. I love your site. God bless.

  11. I am using both. One of my ladies is diabetic, so she will be getting the salad with the lettuce tag. (She doesn't like gardening either) My other 2 ladies will be getting a 2 liter size bottle of Fanta…on sale at Target for $1.50. The single, small, cold ones were $1.59! Plus, their kids are home since it's Summer so the moms can share. Thanks a bunch!

  13. I used both tags to fit the different needs of the sisters I visit teach. I am also going to use the Fanta tag for YW. I truly appreciate your willingness to share your ideas with us. You've saved me more than once! (I'm a new YW leader and a little overwhelmed, so your fresh ideas are a real blessing to me.)Thank You!

  15. I'm using the fanta idea because it fits my ladies best. Thank you so much for the great ideas.

  16. I am using the "FAN" tag, simply because if I can't catch them at home, it will be something I can leave at their door. Thanks so much!

  18. I love the colors of both, but due to budget restraints, I'll use the lettuce tag-I have some lettuce in my garden right now I can share with my sisters. Thanks!

  19. I am using both! I have one sister who is very into health whom I am using the lettuce one for, and another who loves soda who I will use the Fanta. Thanks for doing this. I love that you had 2 options so I could use them both to suit my very different sisters!

  21. I used the 'Fan' but changed the title to "Our Savior is our biggest fan, He is rooting for us" because I had rootbeer on hand instead of Fanta orange. Thanks for sharing

  24. I wasn't sure what to do for this month's message & you have saved me! What a wonderful idea! I will be using the lettuce handout simply because it is the most useful. I love being able to offer my sisters something to make their day better & lighten their load- and a quick dinner side will do just that!
    I too would be interested in B&W versions of your handouts that we can print on colored cardstock & mount on scrapbook paper. The ones you make are so beautiful, but I don't have access to color printing & they just don't look nearly as cute when I print them on my B&W laser printer.

  25. I went to the store to buy the Fanta, because I was going to go with that one.. but their salads were on sale for just a little bit more than the sodas, so I bought the salad instead! LOL

    I did have one question though.. I visit several sisters, and also have to print a lot of things for all of our children, and with my calling.. so I was wondering if it would be possible to have a way to have the option of being able to print your wonderful V.T. printouts each month with or without the colorful backgrounds? That way we could print them as is, or if we are running low on color ink, we could just put in some colored cardstock or just white paper and then glue them onto some patterned cardstock?

    I don't know how hard that would be to do, or how much more work it would be for you. I sooooo appreciate all you do each month with this for us! I LOVE being able to give my sisters a fun handout each month!
    thank you!!

  26. Thanks so much for the work you put into the handouts. I love both of them! I printed the Fanta handout. I have 3 of my 4 sisters who are not active and I thought that it was more applicable to them. However I loved the end of the quote by President Uchtdorf, "Let us never lose sight of our Advocate and Redeemer as we walk toward Him, one imperfect step after another." We are all imperfect whether we are "active" or "inactive". Anyway, thanks so much!!!

  27. I will be using the Fanta one as I visit two non-members, two in-actives and only one active member. As two of my sisters have not made any covenants, and the other two will not remember what covenants they made many years ago, the fanta one might get them to thinking more about the Savior. Thank you so much.

  29. Very cute ideas! I am using the lettuce seeds and gloves. Thank you for sharing your talents so willingly:)

  33. What a cute idea! Both are fun, but I am downloading the lettuce tag. How fun to give them a salad kit for dinner! Thanks!!

  34. I love both but i may use the lettuce one as we have a physical activity coming up this week so will go with the healthy option, thank you all the way from Aotearoa…Auckland New Zealand.

  35. Hard choice! But my sisters have younger children that I know would love the sugary sweet soda:) So that's the one I'm using. Thank you so much! Handouts done….piece of cake!

  36. These are darling ideas. I am using the "Fanta" idea. The Lettuce idea is great for anyone that is diabetic or on a strict diet. I like to do my V.Ting the first week of the month and with these ideas coming out several days before the beginning of July, I had time to get them put together. Thanks for sharing your talent with us.

  38. Really, you're gonna make me choose?! I like the Fanta handout for the youth so I will probably be using the Lettuce one, but by the time I do my v.t I might have changed my mind! You really need to live by me so you can help pair my ideas with something cute like this!

  43. I will use both. With getting ready to leave for Trek I have the cutest hand fans that would be great for the "fanta" one. I also have a lady with Celiac and her husband is deployed until December to the middle east. So a salad dinner would help her out and be something she can eat. She has 5 children ages 16 months to 12 years. So I have been giving her some help with them once or twice a week. So the free printables you shared for the 4th of July I printed and framed to honor her husband and have something she could put out. So you have helped me twice this week. With getting ready to leave for trek this has been an added blessing for me. Thanks so much for sharing your talents. Your amazing and you will be blessed for helping so many of us. Now if I could find some cute little ideas for my trek family I could get them ready today and be good to go. That's about the last thing I have to do. Thanks again. I hope you ALWAYS know how much your appreciated. XOXOX

  44. I am using the lettuce tag. Thanks for it! One of my sisters is on a strict no sugar or white flour diet so the lettuce will be better for her, plus I like healthy ideas. (:

    • Thanks Jaime! It's always nice to have a healthier option….even though most the time I choose the sugar-ed up fattening one 😉 xoxo

  45. Both are great and creative! I will use the lettuce tag. Thank you So much for getting these out early! 🙂
