Tune Ups

Our annual Visiting Teaching interviews were held this morning, but we decided to put  a little "spark" in them this year, and organized  "Drive Through Tune Ups" which were held in the church parking lot.  We put a lot of effort into making it a fun event that the sisters would enjoy.  But....I think my presidency and I had the most fun--it was a blast!

We made posters, fliers and postcards to remind everyone of the date and time....and we had a great turn out.

When they arrived, we had cones in the parking lot set up to guide them through the process....to three different "stations" for their Tune Up!

The first stop was to complete a check list to measure each Visiting Teacher's spark, fuel, oil, and pressure!

While they were filling out their form, Yvonne and Becky performed a great service for each of the sisters that participated, washing their windshield to a perfect shine!   

Then, the sisters pulled up to the next station, where I was able to visit and spend some time discussing their Visiting Teaching assignments.  We sure have some great ladies in our ward that love and care about one another!

We even had a few dedicated sisters who came through the line on their bicycles!

Each sister got a sticker put in the corner of their windshield to remind them that their service is needed and appreciated each and every month!

Then, we gave each sister a "Warranty" packet, with notes, reminders, book marks, quotes, and everything she needs to keep her Visiting Teaching efforts going strong!

The sisters kept all of us busy, and we were so excited when we saw yet another car (or bike!) turn into the parking lot!

Finally, at the last station, each sister received a Visiting Teaching Maintenance Kit with a few things to keep them going strong!.

They also got a muffin and a water bottle (with this label) and we sent them on their way!

I love the sisters in our ward, and am so thankful for their quiet, dedicated service to one another.   And today, I was especially grateful for these three ladies....who serve with me so faithfully and diligently.
