We haven't had HT's forever. This is going to ruin everything.

They usually give the leaders to people that are on a list somewhere. Good luck!"Discipleship is not a spectator sport. We cannot expect to experience the blessing of faith by standing inactive on the sidelines any more than we can experience the benefits of health by sitting on a sofa watching sporting events on television and giving advice to the athletes. And yet for some, “spectator discipleship” is a preferred if not primary way of worshipping." -Pres. Uchtdorf -

I wouldn't be too alarmed. I don't think stake presidents are any better at home teaching than the regular Peters. If anything, they are probably worse as they have even less time to go out and do it.Originally posted by RC Vikings View PostWhat's to explain? It's a bunch of people, most of whom you've never met, who are just as likely to be homicidal maniacs as they are to be normal everyday people, with whom you share the minutiae of your everyday life. It's totally normal, and everyone would understand.

The home teaching polka in my ward is interesting. My ward strives to make HT companionships match up the people who go with the people who don't. We also strive to match up fathers/sons in companionships but ultimately want the sons to go home teaching so there are times (inactive father) when the son is matched up with someone else. Invariably you get one person dragging the other person to someone's house to teach a lesson that no one really cares about....but that's not the interesting thing.Originally posted by BigPiney View Post
The interesting thing is that my ward has entered the realm where there are too few people that actually go home teaching so we are left with companionships that everyone knows won't go so these compionships are assigned to very active families. These active families are being asked to request visits from their not-do-diligent-home teachers. The end result is that home teaching is now not being just pushed, but pulled. I'm not quite sure what to think of this dynamic other than the program might need an overhaul."Discipleship is not a spectator sport.
