Before You Visit Homes


Eliza R. Snow counseled visiting teachers, “to be filled with the Spirit of God, of wisdom, of humility, of love” before they visited homes so they would be able to ascertain and meet spiritual needs as well as temporal ones. She said, “You may feel to talk words of peace and comfort, and if you find a sister feeling cold, take her to your heart as you would a child to your bosom and warm [her] up.”

Eliza R. Snow, in Daughters in My Kingdom: The History and Work of Relief Society (2011), 108.
