Getting Started

“All He asks is that you give your best effort and your whole heart. Do it cheerfully and with the prayer of faith.” —President Henry B. Eyring1

We invite you to begin your new calling with all the support and influence made available to you by the Lord. This can be done by accepting the following two invitations to act.

First, pray. Pray for those you lead. Pray for those you serve. Pray for opportunities, understanding, and blessings often. Lean on the Lord heavily and He will bless you in your calling.

Second, be sustained and set apart for your new calling. This important step gives you the priesthood authority to act in your calling. Through this authority, you may receive blessings and inspiration guided by the Spirit for those you lead and serve.

Continue to the Responsibilities section for an overview of your calling.
