October 2010 Visiting Teaching Message

I am feeling somewhat like the White Rabbit, in Alice in Wonderland, when he said, 'I'm late, I'm late....."  Well he finished up his statement by saying... "for a very important date...."  My thoughts about being late stem from not posting the Message and link for October's Visiting Teaching so here it is http://lds.org/pa/display/0,17884,8776-1,00.html  There are several links that will take you to some great references to help personalize your visiting teaching and they are:

• Howard W. Hunter, “The Great Symbol of Our Membership,” Ensign, Oct. 1994
• Richard G. Scott, “Temple Worship: The Source of Strength and Power in Times of Need,” Ensign, May 2009
• Gary E. Stevenson, “Sacred Homes, Sacred Temples,” Ensign, May 2009
• Russell M. Nelson, “Personal Preparation for Temple Blessings,” Liahona, July 2001

I wanted to add a few more links that will help you with this message and they are as follows:

• http://lds.org/library/display/0,4945,2043-1-5215-1,00.html (October 2010 Issue of the Ensign is focused intirely on Temples )  Here is the direct link to the Ensign Special issue for you to read online.  Look for it in the mail as well if you subscribe to the Ensign and other church magazines.
