VISITING TEACHING MESSAGE
Visiting teaching gives women the opportunity to watch over, strengthen, and teach one another-it is truly a work of salvation. Through visiting, sisters minister in behalf of the Savior and help prepare women for the blessings of eternal life.
“We are to warn, expound, exhort and teach, and invite (others) to come unto Christ” (D&C 20:59), as the Lord said in his revelations,” said President Kimball. Further, he said, “Your testimony is a terrific medium. You are going to save souls. You see, you are not only saving these sisters, but perhaps also their husbands and their homes.”
