During one of my visiting teaching home visits with my ever prepared partner, I gave a lesson about motherhood that was found in the Gospel Principles manual (usually for new members). As a new member, I shared with the sister who is expecting a baby boy in October 2002, the few paragraphs this manual gave on the duties/expectations of motherhood. I read all side bars references from the Holy Bible and the Book of Mormon. I knew instantly this is what the sister wanted to hear by her steady look towards me as I read to her this message (as well as the monthly visiting teaching message for July 2002).

All three of us received benefit, if not as a renewal of the message, then as a first time. I also shared recipes (our sister is a newly-wed and I know her wedding anniversary and birth date).

I hope this experience is beneficial to all.
