Adding Sisters as Home Teaching companions to husband

#1

Post by gordon9229 »

In the home teaching area, of Leader and Clerk resources I am trying to add a Sister as a companion to her husband to home teach. As far as i can tell, it won't let me. Is there a way?

How would I do that with out-of-unit members, when they are not on the branch's directory?

Currently, out-of-unit members can't home teach. The handbook suggests that missionary can do it - when paired with a "in unit" companion.
Have you searched the Help Center? Try doing a Google search and adding "site:churchofjesuschrist.org/help" to the search criteria.

So we can better help you, please edit your Profile to include your general location.

We are aware of the issue that affects care center branches due to out-of-unit home teachers. I have not heard how or when this will be addressed.

Hopefully there will be a solution. Here's an interesting twist on this: I can give an out-of-unit member a calling as a home teaching district supervisor (under callings); however, when I go to the Home Teaching app, he's not selectable as a supervisor in the drop-down list.
