I try, but I’m not always successful on doing a monthly handout that I give out on Homemaking night. I have a handout for each sister who is a Visiting Teacher. I have a label program on my computer that prints each sister’s name and district number on a sheet of labels. I apply the labels to the handouts. This way, I know that I have one for each Visiting Teacher and can make sure that each sister gets one, either by seeing her in church or by giving them to my supervisors to distribute to their flock.

Here are some ideas for handouts:

• I found a picture on the computer of a fisherman. I made a handout saying “Catch the spirit of Visiting Teaching.” I applied a Swedish fish to the handout at the end of the fishing line.
• I put a birthday candle on a handout with the saying, “Let your light shine! Visit Teach!”
• A sparkler with the words, “Sparkle when you do your Visiting Teaching.”
• A Gummy Bear with “It’s Beary important that you do your Visiting Teaching.”
• A picture of a Clown with a fireball candy glued to the nose with “No clowning around, get your Visiting Teaching done.”
• A Now & Later candy with “It’s better to get your Visiting Teaching done Now than Later!”
• Picture of helping hands with “Be a pair of helping hands to the sisters that you visit.”
• A Life Saver candy with “You can be a life saver when you do your Visiting Teaching.”
• A tape measure with “By the yard it’s hard, by the inch it’s a cinch.”

Marvelous Mom
