In one ward that I attended, everyone knew exactly who our family history consultants were.
This couple was amazing!
They guest-taught Sunday School lessons.
They hosted youth activities.
They made ward and individual goals.
They did home visits.
They helped me learn how to do family history work, and I took my own family names to the temple for the first time.
It was really cool.
I was so impressed by how they chose to take a calling that others could perceive as small, insignificant, or unnecessary and magnify it using their unique talents and strengths.
What callings do you have right now?
Official ward callings are great but also think about your callings as a ministering brother or sister, parent, teacher, sibling, honorary grandma, spouse, or organizer.
The Lord taught:
“Thou shalt magnify thine office, and push many people to Zion with songs of everlasting joy upon their heads.” (D&C 66:11)
Creation isn’t just for artists, writers, and musicians.
We all get to create when we figure out exactly how we will fill the roles we have, the callings we’ve been given, and the assignments we receive.
Just like things grow larger when they are magnified…
We can grow and create when we magnify our roles.
Happy Studying!
