Ten Reasons Why LDS Women DO Their Visiting Teaching
(By Bettyanne Bruin)
1. Because the LDS woman loves knowing that she WILL go directly to Heaven for performing this one kind act each month.
2. Because the LDS woman loves the idea that Visiting Teaching gives the LDS woman the perfect opportunity to do something charitable for someone else each month.
3. Because Visiting Teaching satisfies the LDS woman's curiosity about whether or not the sister she is visiting teaching is a good housekeeper.
4. Because the LDS woman loves the feeling she gets from telling her friends that she is, in fact, a 100 percent Visiting Teacher, so she can feel good while all of her dearest friends feel horribly guilty.
5. Because Visiting Teaching is such a great way to say how concerned the LDS woman is about this person and that person in the Ward and is actually able to catch up on the latest Ward gossip.
6. Because the Visiting Teacher loves to bake homemade goodies and Visiting Teaching gives the LDS woman the perfect opportunity to give to someone all of these delicious, 3,000 fat grams per serving baked goods.
7. Because if the LDS woman did not Visit Teach, the LDS woman might be tempted to watch soap operas or trashy talk shows and then the LDS woman would fear she would never go to Heaven.
8. Because Visiting Teaching gives the LDS woman the opportunity to brag about all of her latest accomplishments -- including awards won by herself and her children, etc.
9. Because the LDS woman loves to hear herself give never-ending speeches about simple Gospel subjects and Visiting Teaching gives her the perfect opportunity to do so.
10. Because the LDS woman loves taking two full days out of every month, just to visit two people.
