  1. My Best advice would be to do what I did. Go on the site, look around, it's free for the first 90 days. Look on the forums get a feel for how the website works.
  2. You have to use a tool such as HTVT Helper, to enter the names.(Free) This downloads very nicelyonto your server and then into return and report site. Example I am a HP GL, so I had to enter all the names of all the individuals and families that High Priest Home Teach into the system. I then had to assign them companionships,teaching routes, District's that they report to and the like. And yes we have to have personal names, addresses, email, phone #'s, would be pretty senseless with out it. But everyting is on a secure website. the only people who have access to it are the people who have stewardship over it anyway-The Leaders, no one else. The same people have access to the information on Church MLS. I emailed all my Districts and Companionships for them to Return and report about their Home Teaching visits and more about the needs and to how the families are doing. I had all of my home teaching reports returned to me and completed on the 1st of the month (Fast Sunday) for my meeting with the Bishopric for PEC, So I was able to discuss the needs of the families I have stewardship over. I handed The list of Families that had been home taught and it was all entered into the MLS by my HP Group Secretary on the 1st Sunday (Fast Sunday). It sure beats waiting on companionships to get you their reports and report back to you can take up to 10 days to get reports in. All my HP love it, thought it should have been implemented years ago. Hp love it so much, Elders Quorum signed up too.
  3. I appreciate all of your comments. I agree with you that hitting the preview button is a little bit hokey. But I think that he used it for a point of reference about his program. That being said: I think it is a legitimate program. Things I have discovered: 1-It is used by over 200 RS, EQ, HP Groups across the country. 2-The originator of the Return and Report program won the 2008 LDS Tech Award given out by the Church for his work on this program. 3-The Return and Report system application, with its many ideas and features are being incorporated into the new HT/VT system that the Church is currently working on. 4-It is simply another means to communicate with the Quorum, It helps get the word out. It doesn't replace phone calls or seeing some one in person it justs adds to it. Its a total communication effort. Elder M. Russell Ballard said, "Yours is the world of cyberspace, cell phones that capture video, video downloads, and itunes, social networks like facebook, text messaging and blogs, handhelds and podcasts... How will you use these marvelous inventions? More to the point, how will you use them to further the work of the Lord? So as a HP Quorum we have decided to use the program. The 1st three months are entirely free, if after you decide you want to continue it is from $10-$20, which I will pay out of my pocket if it proves of worth.
  4. Has anyone used the Return and Report.org HT/VT tool? I am presently a HP Group leader and some of my qourum think it would be good to use. Any thoughts about using this program?
  5. I am a Southerner no doubt about it. I am a proud member of the only true church on the earth today for 33 yrs and counting. Look forward to being on the lds.net.
