Home teaching isn't just about visiting. We need to challenge our home teaching families to make their lives better.
President George Albert Smith related the gift of the holy ghost to the clicking in the radio in an old airplane that tells you when the plane gets off course.
The teacher mentioned the book Putting on the armor of God.
God doesn't leave us alone to interpret the scriptures. He is
constantly giving us the opportunity for revelation. He is constantly
