August Visiting Teaching Message

August's message is titled
A Society of Holy Women.

Sister Silvia A. Allred, first counselor in the Relief Society general presidency said, "Relief Society helps us increase our faith and personal righteousness, strengthen families, and seek out and help those in need.
The work of Relief Society is holy, and doing holy work creates holiness in us."

I feel so blessed to be a part of such a wonderful, beautiful sisterhood, and am so thankful for the opportunity that I have to be a visiting teacher.

Here is the message this month:




I used an 11x5x2 white pillow box, wrapped a 12x2 inch piece of my favorite fabric around it and then some twine, small sticks, and a note that says "If we stick together, we can do great things!" and inside included the message, a yummy ice cream recipe, a glue stick, and some sticks of gum.

If you don't have a pillow box, you could just print the message and tie any variety of sticks to the front with some twine or ribbon...here are some ideas for "sticky" things to tie to the front:

Actual sticks
Glue sticks
Sticks of gum
Pixie Sticks
A roll of tape
Candy sticks {you know like candy canes but different flavors...}
Stickers
Chapstick {Thanks, Jenn!}
etc.

If you think of any more, please share in the comments below, also I would love to hear back if you downloaded this file.

Happy Visiting Teaching!
