When President Russell M. Nelson announced the historic changes at general conference on April 1 about restructuring Melchizedek Priesthood quorums (elders quorums and high priests groups) and ministering that replaced home and visiting teaching, the Church published the site ministering.lds.org to publish the letter from the First Presidency and a list of frequently asked questions. Tonight, the Church added instructional videos to the site that can be used in area councils, coordinating councils, stake conferences, stake councils, ward councils, and Sunday lessons.
