October Visiting Teaching Message

Those of you who are Visiting Teachers, please join us in making a valiant effort to visit all of our sisters this month.

The October 2010 Ensign will be a special issue focusing entirely on temples. The issue will not contain a specific First Presidency Message or Visiting Teaching Message.

The temple provides purpose for our lives. It brings peace to our souls—not the peace provided by men but the peace promised by the Son of God when He said, “Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you.”
President Thomas S. Monson

In the temples, members of the Church who make themselves eligible can participate in the most exalted of the redeeming ordinances that have been revealed to mankind.
President Boyd K. Packer


Temples of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints are sacred structures in which eternal questions are answered.
President Gordon B. Hinckley

September 2010

We have an opportunity to meet together this month for our September activity.

We need you! We encourage you to come and fellowship one with another and catch the vision of Visiting Teaching. You do not need to be a Visiting Teacher to attend.

Those of you who are Visiting Teachers, please join us in making a valiant effort to visit all of our sisters this month. Without Visiting Teachers we cannot achieve this goal.

"In the Church we have this marvelous program called visiting teaching. It is for every woman. It isn’t a worn-out way of doing things. It is going to be the thing, the one thing that will save us in times to come." Julie B. Beck

September Visiting Teaching Message

Our Responsibility to Nurture the Rising Generation

Without nurturing, our rising generation could be in danger of becoming like the one described in Mosiah 26. Many youth didn't believe the traditions of their fathers and became a separate people as to their faith, remaining so ever after. Our rising generation could likewise be led away if they don't understand their part in Heavenly Father's plan.

So what is it that will keep the rising generation safe? In the Church, we teach saving principles, and those principles are family principles, the principles that will help the rising generation to form a family, teach that family, and prepare that family for ordinances and covenants—and then the next generation will teach the next and so on.

As parents, leaders, and Church members, we are preparing this generation for the blessings of Abraham, for the temple. We have the responsibility to be very clear on key points of doctrine found in the proclamation on the family. Motherhood and fatherhood are eternal roles and responsibilities. Each of us carries the responsibility for either the male or the female half of the plan.

We can teach this doctrine in any setting. We must speak respectfully of marriage and family. And from our example, the rising generation can gain great hope and understanding—not just from the words we speak but from the way we feel and emanate the spirit of family.

Julie B. Beck, Relief Society general president.
