President Monson said the following:
One writer summed up our love for mother when he declared, “God could not be everywhere, and so He gave us mothers." While on the cruel cross of Calvary, suffering intense pain and anguish, Jesus “saw his mother, and the disciple standing by, whom he loved, he saith unto his mother, Woman, behold thy son! Then saith he to the disciple, Behold thy mother!” (John 9:26–27.) What a divine example of gratitude and love!

Visiting Teaching Message:
Seeking and Receiving Personal Revelation -
We prepare to receive personal revelation as the prophets do, by studying the scriptures, fasting, praying, and building faith. Faith is the key. Remember Joseph’s preparation for the First Vision: "If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God … But let him ask in faith,
nothing wavering." —Elder Robert D. Hales

Visiting Teaching Message:
Strengthening Faith in God the Father and Jesus Christ through Personal
Scripture Study:
“When I was a new bride, … I was invited to a lunch for all of the Relief Society sisters in my ward who had read either the Book of Mormon or a short Church history book. I had become casual in my scripture reading, so I qualified to attend the luncheon by reading the short book because it was easier and took less time. As I was eating my lunch, I had a powerful feeling that though the history book was a good one, I should have read the Book of Mormon. The Holy
Ghost was prompting me to change my scripture reading habits. That very day I began to read the Book of Mormon, and I have never stopped. … Because I started reading the scriptures daily, I have learned about my Heavenly Father, His Son Jesus Christ, and what I need to do to be like Them. … -Julie B. Beck.

Becoming Self-Reliant~
Elder Robert D. Hales of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles said: "As we live
providently and increase our gifts and talents, we become more self-reliant.
Self-reliance is taking responsibility for our own spiritual and temporal welfare
and for those whom Heavenly Father has entrusted to our care. Only when we
are self-reliant can we truly emulate the Savior in serving and blessing others."
