"I believe the four great enduring concepts of Relief Society are:First,it is a divinely established sisterhood.Second,it is a place of learning.Third,it is an organization whose basic charter is to serve others.Its motto is 'Charity never faileth'.Fourth,it is a place where women can socialize and establish eternal friendships.''
Pres. James E. Faust,Ensign,Nov.2002,111
Visiting teaching is a tool to establish these eternal friendships.
