Keeping faithful track of each member you are called to home teach is essential. The Book of Mormon beautifully teaches this principle. In the sixth chapter of Moroni we read:
"And after they had been received unto baptism, ... they were numbered among the people of the church of Christ; and their names were taken, that they might be remembered and nourished by the good word of God, to keep them in the right way, to keep them continually watchful unto prayer, relying alone upon the merits of Christ, who was the author and the finisher of their faith" (Moro. 6:4).
Brethren, may we remember all of our individuals and families and "number" them each month and nourish them by the good word of God to keep them in the right way.
Ezra Taft Benson, "To the Home Teachers of the Church," Ensign, May 1987, 48
