I don't preach the right hand theory. I happen to be right handed, so out of convience use my right hand -- but certainly don't teach it as doctrine. Sue Cox

HomeTeachers - this recently came up in our ward. The bishopric is moving to redo all the hometeaching so that there is a companionship pair. Also they will only be given 3 or 4 families to visit (the optimum being 3). They quickly realized this would mean that not all families would have a hometeacher - but they had received direction from above that this was ok. The goal was to focus on those families with the greatest need (converts, part member, inactive, etc...) The hope is that as Junior companions become better trained, the quality hometeacher pool will increase in time and eventually all families will have a hometeacher. Makes sense. My only concern is as an emergency preparedness specialist -- the church guideline is that in the event of a ward or stake wide emergency, the hometeachers will check on their families and report to the bishopric. But if not everyone has a hometeacher......... We are going to have to come up with an alternate emergency communication system.
