Spend at least three hours giving service outside your family. Ask your ward or branch Relief Society president or a community leader for suggestions for service. For example, you might take care of children while parents attend the temple; collect, make, or recondition toys or games for a nursery; accept an assignment to clean the meetinghouse; or perform errands for or read to a homebound person or others in need. Record in your journal the reactions of the person you served and possible goals for future service opportunities.
The church has recently begun organizing an annual day of service. Help the Young Women in your ward organize different service projects to complete throughout the day.
One need that is frequently overlooked is child care during choir practices. Offer the service to the ward choir director and babysit for 1-2 months.
JustServe.org has local service opportunities listed in certain areas of the country, and is a great starting point for finding ways to serve.
