GEMS-Teachings: Home Teaching Is Preparation for a Mission

Gems from the Teachings of Church Leaders
Home Teaching Is Preparation for a Mission
—————————————————

“Every one of you [teachers and priests] should be given the
assignment to home teach with a companion who holds the Melchizedek
Priesthood. What an opportunity to prepare for a mission. What a privilege
to learn the discipline of duty. A young man will automatically turn from
concern for self when he is assigned to ‘watch over’ others (D&C
20:53).”

Topics: home teaching, discipline, Young Men, missionary work

( Thomas S. Monson, “Do Your Duty–That Is Best,” Ensign, Nov. 2005, 57)
