Magnify A Calling

Thomas S. Monson

And behold, I tell you these things that ye may learn wisdom; that ye may learn that when ye are in the service of your fellow beings ye are only in the service of your God.  -Mosiah 2:17

“And how does one magnify a calling?” asked President Thomas S. Monson during the April 2005 general conference. He answered, “Simply by performing the service that pertains to it. An elder magnifies the ordained calling of an elder by learning what his duties as an elder are and then by doing them. As with an elder, so with a deacon, a teacher, and priest, a bishop, and each who hold office in the priesthood.”
