October Visiting Teaching Message

The October 2010 Liahona and Ensign will be a special issue focusing entirely on temples. The issue will not contain a specific First Presidency Message or Visiting Teaching Message. Home and visiting teachers are encouraged to prayerfully select their message from the contents of this special issue.

A few changes have been made to the Visiting Teaching routes for the month of October.  If your route changed you will receive it in the mail.  You may have a new Visiting Teaching Supervisor as well.  Please call your Visiting Teaching Supervisor with your report before the end of the month.

Great things have happened in our Ward during the month of September directly related to the Visiting Teaching Program at work.  Thank you for being so diligent.
