Beginning in April, Visiting Teaching Messages will focus on ministering as the Savior did.
While Visiting Teaching Messages have always focused on the teachings of the Savior Jesus Christ, beginning in April they will begin to teach about ministering as He would. April’s message, “Love, Watch Over, and Strengthen,” is the first such message to teach these principles.
Visiting teaching can help all sisters follow a higher path of discipleship, said the Relief Society general presidency. They hope that visiting teachers will discuss these responsibilities with sisters they watch over or teach principles that will help sisters increase their faith, strengthen families, and give service.
Several resources have been provided to help familiarize Relief Society leaders and sisters with the current guidelines for visiting teaching.

President Ezra Taft Benson called Elder Hillam to the Second Quorum of the Seventy on March 31, 1990. He was sustained to the First Quorum of the Seventy a year later and also served in the Presidency of the Seventy from Aug. 15, 1995, to Aug. 15, 2000.
A short time after being named emeritus General Authority on Oct. 1, 2005, he was called to be the president of the Boise Idaho Temple. Sister Hillam was once again his companion, serving as the temple matron. He would preside at the temple for three years.
“There is never a compromise with the gospel and gospel principles,” Elder Hillam declared in 1990. “Whatever the Lord asks, we will do.”
Funeral services are pending.

..." we can accept the Lord's Ill , but we will keep praying for miracles."...
Elder Britten Schenk, a missionary for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints was hit by a bus while serving in Sao Paulo, Brazil.(São Paulo East Mission - mission that covers the area where my house/Stake are in São Paulo).
I have been received many information from latter-day friends and outside Church as well, sharing their love for the family and appreciation to the Church's care in this matter.
Elder Schenk's family started a blog and has been updating Elder Schenk's status, their parent's travels during their ordeal. and to update friends and relatives.
We all know that Heavenly Father has a Plan for us.
As Elder Schenk's mom said: "..." we can accept the Lord'Is Ill , but we will keep praying for miracles..." we are adding our prayers to hers and her family!

Feasting Upon the Elder L. Tom Perry's Words
In a week-long series of meetings in California, Elder L. Tom Perry met each day with the missionaries for a few hours and then with the Priesthood leadership of multiple stakes. As an Apostle’s witness of the Savior, in his conclusion testimony in one of the meetings, he said: "The Savior directs this church from above.....There is only one man who receives revelation for all...“This is how he continues to reach out to each of us. There is an order and a system in place. Twelve are given the keys but only one may use them at a time. In the church there is order and uniformity. This provides absolute certain direction that comes from the Lord. I know without any doubt God lives and that the Savior directs this church.”
