Probably the people who need to take into account your schedule are your own VT ers. I personally only do visiting teaching on Sunday, because no one in my ward is home any other time. <BR/>I hope everything else gets better for you.Treat Queenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18344667864298115067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18616564.post-5806723800692617132007-08-10T00:40:00.000-07:002007-08-10T00:40:00.000-07:00Esp~ That's hilarious that you've had the calling ...Esp~ That's hilarious that you've had the calling 7 times! hahahah! neener neener!Paninihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11297434156652902314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18616564.post-33920490850241495282007-08-09T17:10:00.000-07:002007-08-09T17:10:00.000-07:00It would be nice if the supervisors or director or...It would be nice if the supervisors or director or whomever makes assignments took into account people's scedules. Because I can only do it after 5 on weekdays or Saturdays and it hasn't been working well.

But there have been wonderful/needed/inspired visits.<BR/>This being said---supervisors need to be tactful and realize people have lives. I know, becuase I have had this calling 7 times already--no exaggeration, not my favorite job...and sometimes I'm good, sometimes I'm not!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12101520629965875186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18616564.post-58187038945240538672007-08-09T13:18:00.000-07:002007-08-09T13:18:00.000-07:00Volutary VT...interesting idea.

Over achiever, I know! But sometimes I have those busy months...& I feel like a total slacker. I don't really undertand #1..but that's cool---I don't think that it's one of those things I want explained to me. #3 is pretty crappy. Of course, Now I am reminded of my own crappiness in that I did not send you a card. Lame friend that I am.ZBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08625564550843745280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18616564.post-17618992628243031702007-08-09T09:05:00.000-07:002007-08-09T09:05:00.000-07:00I like the idea of voluntary VT.

Which is nice because you then get to know more people. I do hate the artificialness of it all though. It's like something that gets done so it can be crossed off the list; like a chore, and it shouldn't be that way. I'm sorry about #3 on the list. I wouldn't want to deal with that one either.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18616564.post-38786158159040762812007-08-09T07:12:00.000-07:002007-08-09T07:12:00.000-07:00I just had an idea - if Visiting Teaching was volu...I just had an idea - if Visiting Teaching was voluntary, rather than quasi-mandatory - then the people who wanted to would do it with each other, leave the rest of us alone, and visits wouldn't feel so artificial. I bet, without feeling forced to, for reporting stats monthly etc, more people would want to do it. And we could start the program on an exploratory basis - so that HT is still required and everyone is still visited.Paninihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11297434156652902314noreply@blogger.com
