February Home Teaching Message: On Being Spiritually Prepared: Counsel from our Prophet, President Monson
A Foundation of Faith: “If we do not have a deep foundation of faith and a solid testimony of truth, we may have difficulty withstanding the harsh storms and icy winds of adversity which inevitably come to each of us. Mortality is a period of testing, a time to prove ourselves worthy to return to the presence of our Heavenly Father. In order for us to be tested, we must face challenges and difficulties. These can break us, and the surface of our souls may crack and crumble – that is, if our foundations of faith, our testimonies of truth are not deeply embedded within us.”
Visiting Teaching Message: Managing Resources Wisely and Staying Out of Debt
“Provident living…implies the conserving of our resources, the wise planning of financial matters, full provision of personal health, and adequate preparation for education and career development, giving appropriate attention to home production and storage as well as the development of emotional resiliency…If we live wisely and providently, we will be as safe as in the palm of His hand.” Spencer W. Kimball
