It was voted that who would recieve payment for
their services?
A) Joseph Smith Sr.
B) Emma Smith
C) Joseph Smith
D) Brigham Young
Yesterday’s answer:
(A) That the teachers and priest be more thorough
in their home teaching
During the Missouri years of the Church
Home teaching was directed by the Teachers quorum. In Nauvoo, this assignment
shifted to the Priest quorum. Brigham Young only wanted the “best men” in Utah.
Each Home Teacher and his companion could be expected to visit 8 to 20 families
a month. Interesting, it was Brigham Young’s death bed wish that the priest and
teachers be more thorough in this assignment.
