How to do Awesome Visiting Teaching Without the Food
Text Her
We all spend so much time on our phones, so use it to your advantage! Set up a group conversation between you, your companion, and your sister. You can keep each other updated and stay in contact at the same time.
Serve Her
The question “can we do anything for you” is not very productive. Take the initiative instead! There are always opportunities to serve someone. Take out the trash, help with yard work, or babysit the children. Nothing brings people closer than Christ-like service.
Spend Time With Her
Visiting teaching doesn’t have to be a once-a-month visit. Actually, it shouldn’t be. Spend time with your sister and get to know her outside of church. Your goal is to become good friends!
Share Inspiring Messages
Social media is a great place to spread inspiring messages. If you see something you like, send it to your sister! It may brighten her day, or it could be exactly what she needs.
Invite Her to Activities
A great way to get a less-active sister involved is to invite her to activities before they happen. Sometimes all that is stopping them is the need to feel like they’ll have someone to hang out with! That’s where you come in.
Leave Her Notes
If you don’t have time to see each other, a note can convey your love nearly as well. It’s also good for sisters who may not come to church regularly.
Carpool to Church
If everyone is driving to the same place, you may as well save the gas money. Those extra moments together could turn into a great friendship.
