July VT With Me: Gone Fishing

This month’s visiting teaching message, Demonstrating Our Discipleship through Love and Service, reminded me of the scripture, Mathew 4:18-20.
“18 ¶And Jesus, walking by the sea of Galilee, saw two brethren, Simon called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea: for they were ^afishers.
19 And he saith unto them, ^aFollow me, and I will make you ^bfishers of men.
20 And they straightway left their nets, and ^afollowed him.” I love all the ways the message tells us to love those we visit teach.
