Home teaching is the priesthood way of watching over the Saints

"Brethren, home teaching is not just another program. It is the priesthood way of watching over the Saints and accomplishing the mission of the Church. Home teaching is not just an assignment. It is a sacred calling.

"Home teaching is not to be undertaken casually. A home teaching call is to be accepted as if extended to you personally by the Lord Jesus Christ.

"The Savior Himself was a teacher. The only perfect man to walk the face of the earth was a humble, dedicated, inspired teacher who brought to His followers salvation and exaltation.

"Oh, that all the brethren of the Church would catch that vision of home teaching!"

- Pres. Ezra Taft Benson, President of the Church, "To the Home Teachers of the Church," General Conference, Apr 1987
