January Visiting Teaching Message

Call to Action, January 2011

In the most recent general Relief Society meeting, Sister Julie B. Beck, Relief Society general president, taught: “We study our history because it helps us change. Ultimately, the value of history is not so much in its dates, times, and places. It is valuable because it teaches us the principles, purposes, and patterns we are to follow, it helps us know who we are and what we are to do, and it unites us in strengthening the homes of Zion and building the kingdom of God on the earth” (Nov. 2010 Liahona or Ensign, 115).

There are many types of history: Church history, family history, world history, personal history. What have you learned or what changes have you experienced from your study of these history sources? Share your experiences with us at reliefsociety@ldschurch.org.

Don't forget to report your visiting teaching contacts to Jennifer O'Brien. Thank you for all of the time and effort that you put into caring for and ministering to your sisters.
