My Way Back to a Better Life

“At Deseret Industries there is a team of people to help each associate find their path to a new and better life.”

Unemployment left me depressed, discouraged, and very unhappy. I knew what I needed was not only a job, but the Spirit back in my life to help guide me into the future. I found my way back to having a positive outlook through my experience in the Deseret Industries training program.

At Deseret Industries there is a team of people to help each associate find their path to a new and better life. My good bishop and development counselor, great job coaches and Church-service missionaries, all joined together to help me overcome personal obstacles and learn the skills I needed to become a valuable person at work and at home. Through their encouragement and example, I learned how to deal with and solve problems. I developed a change in attitude that was more positive. I grew closer to my Heavenly Father, asking him for the help I needed to keep the commandments, attend my meetings, and maintain the Spirit in my life. In time, my life grew to be less stressful and happier.

I am now employed and everything is going great. I am so thankful for my training at DI and for everyone who helped me get my life in order.
