In my last area, my companion and I were given a list of names of inactive members to visit.\u00a0 One inactive we were working with was a lady named Gerri.<\/p>\n<p>Gerri was a sweet woman who had at least 5 or 6 cats. \u00a0 As we got to know her, we got to know her cats as well. One day my companion and I decided to stop by while in the area and we found Gerri very upset.\u00a0 She told us one of her cats had gotten sick and suddenly died. After doing our best to comfort her, we went to go see the compassionate service leader, who also happened to be one of Gerri\u2019s visiting teachers. We went to this lady\u2019s home and told her what happened to Gerri.\u00a0 Her response shocked us.\u00a0 She was glad that this cat had died because, in her opinion, animals are dirty, they carry diseases, and they have no business being in a home. We knew she never visited Gerri, and after hearing that response, we knew why.\u00a0 My heart broke twice that day. First, with the passing of one of Gerri\u2019s cats, and seeing the heartbreak it brought, and second, her visiting teacher had no desire to show any love and compassion to a fellow sister.<\/p>\n<p>On the other hand, Gerri had a second visiting teacher who went out of her way to show her that she cared.\u00a0 I remember when I first came into the area, this visiting teacher was out of town taking care of her mother.

It\u2019s easily done when we love each other. Think about the experience from my mission, what kind of visiting teacher do you want to be known as? It\u2019s tough to fit it in your schedule, but \u201csee that ye love one another; cease to be covetous; learn to impart one to another as the gospel requires\u2026 And above all things, clothe yourselves with the bond of charity, as with a mantle, which is the bond of perfectness and peace\u201d (D&amp;C 88:123,125).<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>While serving my mission, we missionaries were asked to spend our time working with in-actives and reactivate them.
