“Magnifying our callings does not mean staying up all night preparing handouts and elaborate table decorations. It does not mean that each time we do our visiting teaching we have to take something to our sisters. Sometimes we are our own worst enemies. Let’s simplify. The message of a good lesson comes through spiritual preparation. Let’s put our focus on the principles of the gospel.” (Kathleen H. Hughes, Relief Society General Presidency, “Out of Small Things,” General Conference, October 2004)
“When we are called to serve, we are not offered a release date. Our lives are our service.” (Kathleen H. Hughes, Relief Society General Presidency, “Out of Small Things,” General Conference, October 2004)
“I do not know why I was called, but I do know that I was called.” (Bonnie D. Parkin, Relief Society General President, “Feel the Love of the Lord,” General Conference, October 2003)
