Visiting Teaching?

To night I went out with my friend, to do our visiting teaching. I wrapped up my famous fudge and went out. We stopped at an inactive woman and talked, talked till her children came home from school, and we talked the them.
We went to the next lady and she wasn't home, we went on to a elderly woman who lost her home to a fire. She was not a member, but that didn't matter. Left some fudge, made sure she was alright then went back to see if the other sister had returned.
We went down to our next sister, surprised her because she forgot. We sat around her table and gave the message, laughed and gave her fudge.
We went to the nursing home to visit my partner's mother-in-law. She is not a member either, but she is very lonely in her last days here.
We then stopped at a new sister on our list, an inactive mother of three, trying to remodel her house and go to school, on line. The children were very friendly and excited about Christmas coming. I saw no signs of a tree or any decorations and she needed a little help cleaning up/
Now we went back to our sisters home that we hadn't gotten to, she was home but had a broken foot and had been all day at the doctors. We had a fine visit and she was alright.
Now it was dark and we needed to get home. We were out for 5 hours. Not so bad. Now to get the rest of them, tomorrow.
