I've been feeling a little (ok, maybe a lot) sorry for myself over the past week. I won't go into detail except to say that this talk from Elder Holland came to mind as I lay in bed tonight, unable to sleep: https://www.lds.org/general-conference/2002/10/called-to-serve?lang=eng. I remember hearing this talk as a sophomore at BYU and being really impacted by it. It made me think of Dad and all of the time he devoted to his callings with the Young Men. Now I continue to be inspired by it as I support Scott in his Young Men calling. I give it two thumbs up! :)
A few of my other favorite talks on the subject of Church service:
President Eyring, "Bind Up Their Wounds" (Oct 2013)
Elder Ballard, "O Be Wise" (Oct 2006)
Elder Oaks, "Why Do We Serve?"(Nov 1984)
President Eyring, "Education for Real Life" (May 2001)
Here is another favorite: President Eyring's "Rise to Your Call" (Oct 2002)
