I'm The New Visiting Home Teacher!

Yesterday, while at church, I got a calling from the church and the president of the Relief Society came up to me and gave me my calling and said that I'm going to be a new member of the Visiting Home Teaching. And it's exciting because I have a companion, her name is Sharon. She's awesome. She's a little weird and awkward but that's how I like my peoples. LOL.

So I'm excited for that because it's something that I'm good at, you know? Basically what we do is we go to the houses of the fellow females of the church. We have a list of them and we go once or twice a month to see them, check up on them and we can check up on them more often than we want, we can call them and whatnot. We go to their houses, check up on them, see how they're doing, if they need help with anything whether it's emotional, spiritual or just need some help with errands. It's almost like building a bigger bond of a "sisterhood" within the church and the boys do it too... It's a great opportunity to meet others and help each other. And if ever you come to our church, you're going to feel the warm love that we all have for each other and the strong friendships we have. Some people will get weirded out because we're all so close but that's because we have this Visiting Home Teaching program.

Also, I went to a California YSA Fireside Conference. Basically it's an event where we all gather together and discuss upcoming events for charity, YSA events, dances and stuff like that. And our goal is to help the community but also let the less-active members of the church, come back and remember the good times that the church has. And non-members of the church are very much welcomed! And I would bring you, Turtle because we all bring snacks and drinks. Some people bake brownies and cookies and I know you love that stuff. Lol.

So, I'm going to be apart of all the events but sadly, I won't make it to the August California YSA gathering. And it's a gathering where thousands of YSA's get together, hang out, have a good time under the sun and just live in the love of God and spread it to each other. LOL. I just made it sound like we're such hippies... We probably are. That's why everyone thinks we're weird.

Hippie,
