By Jan Tolman

| Ministering

In a home setting, parents have to teach, repeatedly and consistently, truth so children grow up to recognize what truth in learning is. We are all on this earth to do what? Perfect ourselves. Many of us forget this and get caught up in crooked paths. But when we know who we are (we are […]

Salvation for the dead was revealed to Joseph Smith upon the completion of the Kirtland Temple. First came the vision of the prophet’s brother (Alvin, who had passed away in 1823) at a meeting held in the Kirtland Temple, January 21, 1836, just prior to its dedication. (This vision and revelation can be found in […]

When the Church was first restored, Joseph spoke to everyone he met about the Book of Mormon and the gospel. With all that he was learning at the time he must have been so excited to share it all. First, individuals listened to him, then they would bring their families, because they were excited to […]

Visiting Teaching–New Ideas, Vision, and Success

Visiting teaching is difficult for every ward, and compounded in wards with lots of transition. There are many traditions in visiting teaching that have watered it down and made it feel more like a burden than a duty, responsibility, and a joy. This gospel is based on “The One.” We save the individual soul. Reaching […]

Can you feel it? The momentum is changing throughout the Church. Before the Coming of the Lord, all will have opportunity to hear of Jesus Christ and either accept or reject Him. As members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints we are being asked to be His messengers and spread His gospel […]

| Ministering

It takes more than one person to save and be saved. We cannot do it alone; we need one another. Too many of us lead lives that are too busy to mingle with our fellow sisters. If it weren’t for our callings, we might never enjoy the rich spirit of our sisterhood. This year, as […]

This month’s message is on how we must bleed service to one another. It has to be part of our nature, our very DNA. As Pres. Monson said in last month’s First Presidency message (Aug 2012): “All who have studied mathematics know what a common denominator is. For Latter-day Saints, there is a common denominator […]

Taking Action in Time of Need–August 2012 VT Message

In the past, if there was a family having difficulty, the Bishop would find out about it, tell the Relief Society President, who went to the Compassionate Service Leader, who then went to the Visiting Teachers to check up on, and assist. That is a very long protocol. There has been a slight shift, for […]

July 2012 Visiting Teaching–Demonstrating Our Discipleship

By Jan Tolman

July 5, 2012

| Ministering

How do we demonstrate our discipleship? The word discipleship is well chosen. As sisters, we serve. That is what we do. But, as we’ve learned more about the history of our organization, we have learned that we save lives too; often by serving. So, as disciples of Christ, how do we represent Him through our […]
