Home Teaching

I believe the real need is not more push on the priesthood holders - and current encouragement makes a difference and the benefits, in the context of the following, will grow tremendously under its influence. Here is the point: the training of the families is the most critical area at this point. "Receive the Holy Ghost." "Let Earth receive her King." D&C 84:36 (35-40 really) is essential. For all of our inconsequential (as Benjamin observed) giving, the real job is to receive. We need help receiving. Families have no idea how unique having a Home Teacher is. There is so much home teachers do now. There is so much more they can do. Not necessarily in more time (though it would be interesting to understand how much time is spent on average). Like the Atonement, families need to learn how to use the resources they've been given - including the price paid to make it available to them.
