Home Teaching

Brethren,

Here are the updated home teaching routes. We may need to do a little more tweaking once we get the information for all of the new families, but for the most part these routes should be pretty close.

On the attached document, find the box with your name in the upper-left corner. This box will tell you your companion, the families you home teach, and who home teaches you. If you have any questions, feel free to give me a call.

Brethren, I encourage you to prayerfully consider your responsibility as a home teacher. As you consider this responsibility, ponder on these two prophetic statements; one from a Book of Mormon prophet, and one from a modern-day prophet:

"And we did magnify our office unto the Lord, taking upon us the responsibility, answering the sins of the people upon our own heads if we did not teach them the word of God with all diligence; wherefore, by laboring with our might their blood might not come upon our garments; otherwise their blood would come upon our garments, and we would not be found spotless at the last day. "

- Jacob 1:19

"Brethren, home teaching is not just another program. It is the priesthood way of watching over the Saints and accomplishing the mission of the Church. Home teaching is not just an assignment. It is a sacred calling... Oh, that all the brethren of the Church would catch that vision of home teaching!"

-Ezra Taft Benson

Let us arise and be men! and do what the Lord expects of us. Let us serve His children in His way. I promise as you do so you will find great joy in your service and power in your priesthood.

Love,

President Haws
