2. "What about when people reject a calling or ask to be released? How common is this? Which callings are hardest to fill?"

4. "What's the spiritual reaction and/or next step to find someone else if the Holy Ghost told you to call someone who says no?"
5. "Assuming you plan on a life of service, what makes you personally always intend to hold a calling?"
