Dan and Noah Timpson have been our Home Teachers for the last 4 years. When they came today they told us the very sad news that this would be their last visit. We are so sad! We are going to miss them so much! Here are a few of the memories we have of 2 men who have truly magnified their calling as Home Teachers.
- Treats in pockets
- Replacing our shingles on our roof
- Tearing out our floor
- Inspired lessons
- Sincerely wanting to know how everyone is doing
- Priesthood blessings...anytime
- Yummy treats from Raquel!
- Setting up our phone system
- Hospital visits
- Birthday ice-cream
- Inviting us into their home when we are walking by
- Phone calls of concern
- Notes of encouragement and love
- Taking our old freezer to the dump and delivering our new one
I think you get the point!
It has been such a huge blessing in our lives to have Dan and Noah as our home teachers. They are perfect examples and proof that there is no such thing as "just a home teacher ( or visiting teacher)" I am grateful that my kids have seen what a difference good home teachers can really make. They have always been there for us...they have never considered a once a month contact as good enough...they have shown us countless times how much they care through hours and hours of service that goes far beyond the "required" monthly lesson and visit.
Thank you Dan and Noah for being such wonderful home teachers! We will never forget you and all the love you have shown to our family.
I guess we can't be selfish...it's time to give someone else the "Timpson experience"!
Thanks for EVERYTHING!

thanks for this great post of appreciation, it reminds us all of how important our callings are and how much better I want to be at visiting teaching, you can always tell if they are doing it our of duty or out of love. Your dad has always been a great home teacher, and I have been very thankful of his example to our boys. Its also importnat for the families being taught to show respect and appreciation for them coming.
Isn't it wonderful to have such great examples in our kids lives!! This is a great post.
Are you just trying to get more treats?:)
I'm totally biased but I like them too! In all seriousness we will all miss having you guys as part of our family. We've just felt like you were an extension of our family. I hope you will still call when you need something so I can send Dan and Noah right over.
