This is probably the first time I have ever seen only quotes used as a First Presidency message. We were discussing in our quorum today the ideas for Home Teachers, especially where it asks point blank questions about the members representation of the Church. Cool!
Are you speaking of the First Presidency message in the Ensign that is used for Home Teaching? The Visiting Teaching message has been in this format for at least a year now. I personally don't like it. I don't think it is as easy to present to my sisters in this manner. I have adjusted to it though and manage to do so. I just liked the old format better.
Ah, thanks Tena ~ that First Presidency Message. I agree with you Tena, I don't like it either. It is still difficult for me to adjust to it. I go on-line and look up past VT messages with the same *topic* and use them instead. I have one sister that I can only send letters to ~ the short *quotes* are easier to copy onto a blank card, but I still prefer to type out a full page and mail that to her.
The month of June First Presidency message. You can see it online along with the questions (ideas for Home Teachers): https://lds.org/library/display/0,4945,2043-1-2763-1,00.html
