Top Ten Ways To Visit Teach!

1. Care more about the sister than a check mark by your name.
2. Find all the good qualities that you can in each sister you visit and compliment them often.
3. Sincerely get to know the sisters well enough to become their friend.
4. Learn her children's names and say hello to them too.
5. Be more concerned about bringing a God's spirit and message than about bringing something that only looks cute and clever.
6. When personal problems are shared be sure to try and understand how your sister is feeling and find ways to help -- even just a sympathetic ear is a huge help and often all that is needed.
7. Remember that there are many things about each sister that you do not know so stay clear of judging and concentrate instead on lifting and helping.
8. Become friends with your companion.
9. Never forget that you are God's representative and should be looking for ways to serve as He would if He were there -- be sure to ask for His help! Pray with your companion and with the sister as part of your visit.
10. Always strive for unconditional love both for the sisters you visit and for your companion.
