January February
The Master Bridge Builder
Ensign, January 2008

Jan 2008 HT.pdf

Ideas for Home Teachers

After prayerfully studying this message, share it using a method that encourages the participation of those you teach. Following are some examples:

  1. Provide paper and writing utensils for family members, and have them draw a bridge. Briefly introduce each bridge in the article by sharing selected counsel from President Monson. As each bridge is identified, invite family members to write above their drawings ways they can cross the bridge. You might also ask them, "What dangers and difficulties do these bridges help us overcome?" Encourage them to write answers to this question below their drawings.

     
  2. Consider bringing an item or picture that represents each of the bridges spoken of in the article. Share a thought from President Monson about each bridge, and bear your testimony of how each has blessed your life.

     
  3. Read aloud the poem quoted in the article. You could ask family members to share what they can do to build bridges for others. Conclude by listing the three bridges the Lord built for us and how these can help us in our daily lives.

Feeding His Lambs
Ensign, February 2008

By President Henry B. Eyring
Second Counselor in the First Presidency

Feb 2008 HT.pdf

Ideas for Home Teachers

After prayerfully studying this message, share it using a method that encourages the participation of those you teach. Following are some examples:

  1. After a family member reads the first three paragraphs of the message, ask the family: Why do you think the Lord fed His disciples before teaching them? How can we strengthen new members in our ward (or branch)?

     
  2. Consider with family members some gospel doctrines that, if obeyed, would bless people they know. Discuss ways they could share or reinforce those doctrines with those people.

     
  3. If the family you visit has children, consider showing a picture of a lamb. Ask, Why do lambs need to be watched over and cared for? Explain that people, like lambs, sometimes need help. Sharing the gospel, being a friend, or helping others through difficulties is similar to what a good shepherd does for sheep. Make a plan to help a neighbor, friend, or family member by completing a simple act of service.

April 2008 HT.pdf

Ideas for Home Teachers

After prayerfully studying this message, share it using a method that encourages the participation of those you teach. Following are some examples:

  • 1. Ask family members how they prepare for an event. How far in advance do they prepare? Explain that we need to prepare for eternal life by laying up treasures in heaven. Read Matthew 6:19–21, and invite family members to take turns reading sections of the message.

  • 2. Read the first paragraph under the heading “Learn from the Past,” and invite family members to tell about a person or experience that has positively influenced their lives. Testify that learning from our past is one way to guide us to eternal happiness.

  • 3. Share one or two of the accounts under the heading “Live in the Present.” Ask family members to each set a goal to do one important task they have been putting off. Next month, you could invite family members to tell about their experience.

“Safety in Counsel,” Ensign, Jun 2008, 4–9 By President Henry B. Eyring
 

June HT 2008.pdf

IDEAS FOR HOME TEACHERS
After prayerfully studying this message, share it using a
method that encourages the participation of those you teach.
Following are some examples:
1. Read the account of Reddick Allred*s faithfulness. Ask
family members what they might have done in that situation.
Ask, How does following the prophet keep us safe? How might
our own obedience affect the safety of others around us?
2. Ask the family how they can respond to a challenge
on which the prophets have given counsel, such as dressing
modestly or avoiding questionable material in the media. For
the Strength of Youth (item no. 36550) offers counsel on
many of today*s challenges.
3. Read together the second paragraph under the heading
*A Prophet*s Warning.* Ask family members to recall the most
recent general conference. Invite them to share gospel principles
they remember hearing more than one speaker mention.
Bear testimony that we are blessed to live in a time

Heeding the Voice of the Prophets
Ensign, July 2008

By President Dieter F. Uchtdorf

July HT 2008.pdf

Ideas for Home Teachers
After prayerfully studying this message, share it using a method that encourages the participation of those you teach. Following are some examples:
Ask children what they would need if they were in some distant place and needed to travel back home. Suggest how a map and a guide might help. Explain that prophets are guides Heavenly Father provides to help us get back to Him. Read an excerpt from the message that emphasizes this point.

Relate a memory you have of the man who was President of the Church when you were a child or teenager. Tell how the teachings of the living prophets have guided you during your lifetime.

 

 

“May We So Live”

Ensign, Aug 2008

By President Thomas S. Monson

 

August 2008 HT.pdf

Ideas for Home Teachers

After prayerfully studying this message, share it using a method that encourages the participation of those you teach. Following are some examples:

  • 1. Discuss with the family how “the darkness of death … can ever be dispelled by the light of revealed truth.” Read parts of the article that teach about the Resurrection. How can these truths bring peace and comfort to those who mourn?

  • 2. Point out the formula for happiness in the section “Doing Something Today.” Sing or read the hymn “Have I Done Any Good?” Ask family members why they think this formula brings happiness. What are some of the things they could do to inspire gratitude in others?

  • 3. Ask family members to list some fond memories that a person could have at the end of his or her life. Read the story written by Louise Dickinson Rich and the last paragraph of President Monson’s message. Talk with the younger children about the things that matter most to them now. Encourage family members to live a good and joyful life, without regrets.

IDÉES POUR LES INSTRUCTEURS AU FOYER

Après avoir étudié dans la prière ce message, donnez-le en utilisant une méthode qui incite les personnes que vous instruisez à participer. Voici des exemples:

1.  Lisez le récit sur la fidélité de Reddick Allred. Demandez aux membres de la famille ce qu'ils auraient fait dans cette situation. Demandez: Comment le fait de suivre le prophète assure-t-il notre sécurité? En quoi notre obéissance peut-elle affecter la sécurité des gens qui nous entourent?

2.  Demandez aux membres de la famille comment ils réagiraient face à un problème à propos duquel les  prophètes ont donné des conseils, par exemple s'habiller de manière pudique ou éviter ce qui est douteux dans les médias. Jeunes, soyez forts (n° catalogue 36550 140) donne des conseils sur beaucoup de problèmes d'aujourd'hui.

Lisez ensemble le deuxième paragraphe de la partie « Un avertissement prophétique ». Demandez aux membres de la famille de se rappeler la dernière conférence générale. Demandez-leur d'indiquer des principes de l'Evangile qu'ils ont entendus mentionnés par plus d'un orateur. Témoignez que nous sommes bénis de vivre à une époque où le Seigneur fournit de nombreux témoins des ses paroles.
