"Your power will be multiplied many times by the Lord. All He asks is that you give your best effort and your whole heart. Do it cheerfully and with the prayer of faith. The Father and His Beloved Son will send the Holy Ghost as your companion to guide you. Your efforts will be magnified in the lives of the people you serve." President Henry B. Eyring, First Counselor in the First Presidenc
They gave a few scriptures to reference callings. There were two of them that I really liked.
"We do not seek callings, nor do we typically decline callings that come through proper priesthood authority (see Moses 6:31-32)."
"All callings are equally important; the Church needs nursery leaders as much as Relief Society presidents (see 1 Corinthians 12:14-18). How we serve is more important than where we serve."

"Your Holy Places"
Ensign
General Conference
May 2013
I really loved this article. All of the young women talks were good. What a great theme they have this year. This article explains that no matter where you are or what the circumstances are you can make it your holy place. A really significant example is of Joseph Smith in Liberty Jail. He was in a horrid place being treated awful both emotionally and physically. In spite of that he referred to it as a "prison-temple". One girl decorated her room in such a way that it was her holy place. I hope to help Sariah make her room a holy place. Another girl had a tough time in high school and said the band room was her holy place because of the atmosphere the teacher created. One of my favorite places that was mentioned is nature. I love to go up in the mountains and I feel so calm and peaceful and feel closer to God. I hope that everyone is able to find their holy place and use it as much as they need.
