Visiting Teaching Survival Kit

I am not sure what type of ideas you want…program…handouts…? At any rate, here is and idea for a handout. We did a readers type theatre for out VT Conference, having the sisters read visiting teaching experiences. We had examples of an inactive sister, young mother, older sister, and testimonies of a variety of sisters…we also had a quartet singing in between. After the program, we handed out a “survival kit” to all our visiting teachers with a bag of M&M’s. Here is the poem…

Thanks E. Rich for this great idea and willingness to share

Visiting Teaching Survival Kit…

Be prepared to survive your next month

of Visiting teaching! This kit will provide

you with the necessary supplies to get

you through those doubting days.

If you are just a busy fellow,

go ahead and take a yellow.

Maybe you have an ache in the head.

Need some help? Take the RED.

Sometimes we feel grouchy and mean,

these are the times to take the green.

Orange is for that difficult time

when you are feeling right out of your mind.

If you find yourself wearing a frown,

look through the bag and find a brown.

When you feel as though you just need something new,

feel free to dig, and find that blue!

If you’re feeling great, visiting teaching is DONE,

just eat them ALL, you’ve had a good run!

Thank you, sisters, for all you do,

We surely love and appreciate you!
