Visiting Teaching

After prayerfully considering the needs of the sisters they visit, visiting teachers are to choose as the message for those months a general conference address that would meet the needs of the sisters.

Inside front: Susquehanna River, by Linda Curley Christensen, oil on canvas, 24″ x 48″, 1999. The wilderness along the Susquehanna River in rural Pennsylvania and New York was the scene of some of the most significant events of the Restoration. These included the appearances of John the Baptist to restore the Aaronic Priesthood, and of Peter, James, and John to restore the Melchizedek Priesthood, “declaring themselves as possessing the keys of the kingdom, and of the dispensation of the fulness of times!” (D&C 128:20).
Inside back: State Street Panorama, by Al Rounds, watercolor, 32″ x 48″, 1994. The scene from old Salt Lake City depicted in this wide view is, in effect, a panorama of history. On the right, the intersection of South Temple and State Streets is seen as it looked in the late 1850s, with the first Eagle Gate arching over State Street. The Beehive House on the corner, originally built by President Brigham Young in the 1850s, is seen as it appeared in the 1890s with the neighboring Lion House. The Salt Lake Temple, one block west, was dedicated in 1893.
Photos of conference were taken by Craig Dimond, Jed Clark, Welden Andersen, John Luke, Matt Reier, Derek Israelsen, Lana Leishman, Kelly Larsen, Tamra Ratieta, Joy Gough.
