She urged listeners to keep in mind the Savior’s mission, which was essentially based on service. “There is no greater calling than to serve one’s neighbor,” she said. She emphasized that callings should not be seen as achievements; what is most important is to be of help in Christ’s work and to one’s neighbor.

Some days, he may guide us to be focused on our families, and other days he may guide you to go to a meeting you were not expecting or to minister in a way you were not expecting,” said Sister Yee. “Like Nephi, listen to the guidance of the Holy Ghost, and he can help us prioritize our days to have peace, to have joy, and to have meaning.”
The following day, Sister Yee met with young single adults in an afternoon devotional together with Elder Giraud-Carrier.
