A Home Teacher isn’t to just go into a home and read the 1st presidency message and then ask “is there anything we can do for you?” and then leave. We are the representatives for the Bishop to see to their spiritual, mental and physical well being. We should know where each person stands spiritually. We should, in effect, be interview them, using D&C 20 as a guideline: Do you pray every day as a family? Do you read the scriptures daily as a family? Do you hold a weekly family home evening? We would like to challenge you to do so and the spirit of the Lord will rest more strongly in your home and their will be greater love and harmony in your home. We would like to check up on your progress as you do this. Would that be OK?

I feel very strongly about the Lords way of watching over the church and hope that we will have a greater understanding and commitment of Home Teaching.
