May Visiting Teaching Handout-Conference Edition "Keeping Our Families on the Road to Him"

This month's Visiting Teaching message is left up to us to decide. There were so many wonderful General Conference talks to choose from, but I saw a theme in many of them that stuck out to me. I decided to focus on our influence on the testimonies and strength of our children. There were so many delicious quotes, I could not help myself. Talk about a feast!

I could not narrow it down, so I decided to do a booklet for my Visiting Teaching Handout this month. It contains 16 quotes from five different April 2010 general conference talks. I called it "Keeping Our Families on the Road to Him." Have a look see for yourself...




































I love that it shares why it is important to help our children build their testimonies and learn to act, shows suggestions on how to do this and talks about the blessings for them, but also us as parents. I included quotes on young children too because we (myself, companion, and the fantastic woman I visit) all have really young kids (all boys).

Feel free to use them all, or pick and choose!

They were made as 5x7 so I could print two to a page on card stock, then cut them in half and attach with ribbon.

I am in love with this booklet and hope you like it too!

Here are three ways to print them.

1. Copy and paste them in to Microsoft word and size them any way you wish.
2. Right click, save as to your computer and print them from wherever you saved them.
3. Print the blog post and use them the size they print out. (Though they may be too small to read)

I wish I could say there was some automatic easy way to print them all with one click, but I spent two hours making them so I just posted them and did not focus on that part. ;) I am going to put them all in Word personally.

Just wanted to say thanks for sharing. I found your site a little while ago and love it. Using your handouts has added a little more sunshine in my visiting teaching and the woman I take them too love them as well. (I told them about you!)
