Home teachers need to be sensitive to members' attitudes toward each other, the gospel, Church activities, and Church leaders. Home teachers also can encourage parents to be sure their children are blessed, are baptized, and are progressing in the Church.
When families need special assistance, home teachers immediately report this to their quorum or group leaders. Home teachers also obtain a forwarding address when members move to a new residence. This address should be given to the ward clerk.
