Share and Testify of Gospel Doctrines


“The only place Latter-day Saint women will learn the whole and complete truth about their indispensable role in the plan of happiness is in this Church and its doctrine” (Julie B. Beck, “What Latter-day Saint Women Do Best: Stand Strong and Immovable,Ensign and Liahona, Nov. 2007, 110).

Prayerfully prepare for your visit. Ideas will come. You will know what to say or do.

When appropriate, share a gospel message, especially with less-active sisters. The gospel message you provide may be the only one that sister receives. Use the monthly visiting teaching message printed in the Ensign and Liahona magazines or the scriptures, whatever best fits your sisters’ needs.

Be aware of the spiritual and temporal needs of your sisters. Sometimes the most important message you can share is to do something to lift their burdens.

The “relief” we offer includes “relief of doubt, relief of ignorance—relief of all that hinders the joy and progress of woman” (John A. Widtsoe, Evidences and Reconciliations, arr. G. Homer Durham, 3 vols in 1 [1960], 308).
