What it Means to Magnify Church Callings

I’ve read that Brigham Young — while serving as president of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints — was also called to serve as the second counselor in the Ensign Ward Sunday School. (Talk about a bold bishop.) And President Young, I’ve heard, not only accepted the new calling, but “magnified” it — he held it in high esteem.

I saw the same thing in action in our own ward last week.

By luck of the draw, our stake patriarch ended up being called to take charge of planning social events for our high priest group. He, too, humbly accepted the call and took it to heart.
