Thankful Thursday

So I've seen this done on other blogs and I'm stealing the idea...
Once a week (hopefully) I'm going to post about something that I am thankful for.

For my first week of Thankful Thursday I am going to post about how thankful I am for visiting teaching. When we were first married my visiting teaching partner was a sweet older lady in our ward and I learned so much from her and got to be good friends with her. I enjoyed going to visit the sisters we were assigned to. She really taught me the importance of VT and I found a lot of joy in it. I am also grateful for the sisters that come to visit me (thanks Ciara (o: ) and the friendships that I have made with them. I know that visiting teaching is an inspired program and blesses our lives. Thanks for all of you wonderful visiting teachers out there!

I'm so excited to hear what you are up to every week!! Thanks so much for being the cute girl you are! You make me smile :)

On a related note, I had my visiting teacher come over for the first time in over 3 years today... So that was really interesting to have him come over and then read this post :)

I so agree...visiting teaching does make a difference not just in the lives of those you visit but also in your life.

I haven't checked your blog in awhile and just saw your post about Mia Maid advisor. I just got that calling in June. I have really enjoyed it and find it a new exciting challenge. Let me know if you have any great ideas that you do in your ward.
