JThimm88 Posted January 11, 2011 Report Share Posted January 11, 2011 My husband and I have been in our ward for maybe 6 months or so now. In that time frame, I've been visiting taught once by one sister -- her companion didn't come. Another 2 times, this same sister dropped by, but stood outside the door and apologized for not coming to teach, giving me baked goods. Well, that sister has moved out of the ward -- this actually happened a month or two ago, and I didn't even know who her companion was, but I do now. I'm wondering if it'd be a bad thing if I just mentioned to this other sister that she is supposed to be visiting teaching me? I'm not sure if she has a new companion or what, and I'm also not sure with the new year if our assignments will be changed, but... I'd really like a visit. My companion and I go see 2 sisters in our ward every month and I love it, but it's not the same as having someone come to see me, I suppose.

Gwen Posted January 11, 2011 Report Share Posted January 11, 2011 i wouldn't confront her. i would go to the rs pres and mention that you have not had any visits and it is important to you. let her handle it and keep doing your visits. probably not a helpful suggestion.

Vanhin Posted January 11, 2011 Report Share Posted January 11, 2011 I would go to my home teachers and say "Hey, when are you going to come visit us?". Nothing wrong with that. Vanhin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrShorty Posted January 11, 2011 Report Share Posted January 11, 2011 I'm with Vanhin -- I see nothing wrong with approaching a HT/VT. Of course, you don't have to be mean and condescending ("You've been a terrible, neglectful VT and I want you to come over now and visit teach me.") I like to approach them like I would inivite someone over for lunch/dinner/playdate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

APPROACH is better or even INQUIRE.Another good word is INVITE, as in Invite over for "Herbal Tea" and cake, cookies & milk, Lunch. I hadn't seen a VT the first year in my old Ward. I asked the RS Pres in the presence of her secretary who my VT's were, when she told me, I went to her (she was sitting in the RS room) and invited her to lunch. Made a date for the following sat. For the next 5 years we met every other month at a restaurant for lunch, and every other month at my house. I really miss her - plan on keeping in touch via email.
