Do you wonder how you can use your unique gifts and talents to do more--to be an instrument for Him?
When Disciple Thought Leader Wendy Jones, a DIYer, attended a DTL Retreat nearly two years ago, she had no idea how she could use her skills with power tools to do something for Him.
Two years later, she's getting ready for her own seventh retreat as the founder of "The Sister Project" - a retreat where she brings together like-minded women to learn how to use power tools, have a positive retreat experience, and in turn, provide service for another sister in need of support.
She says… “We bring women together, allow them time to connect with each other, focus on healing themselves, then turn and serve someone else in the community."
She is starting "a trend that sisterhood combined with service can do mighty things. No need to hop on a plane to do humanitarian work. We are right here, changing lives for others, including ourselves. It’s serving peers, neighbors, and especially sisters.”
Be inspired to use your unique gifts in our latest DTL podcast as you listen to Wendy's story about how she stepped into her purpose and now teaches and serves others.

Are you ever stuck in knowing what is most essential?
How can you sift through all of the "have-to-dos" as a mom-and?
Thanks to those who joined us for our discussion about the talk
"Do What Mattereth Most" by Rebecca L. Craven
In yesterday's interactive Zoom call, we talked about how to really find out what's most essential for you. You'll hear experiences from everyday women like you who share their learning on how they have learned to focus on what matters most. From Sister Rebecca L. Craven: "In the Doctrine and Covenants, the Lord occasionally says, 'It mattereth not.' It makes me ponder that if some things matter not, or matter less, there must be things that matter most. In our efforts to do something or do anything, we might ask ourselves, 'What mattereth most?'" Every day, we can ask ourselves this question.
I loved this thought from a Purpose Filled Woman named Cecily:
"The way to get what you need is to give what you need."
Join me for a discussion of President Russell M. Nelson's Conference talk, "The Power of Spiritual Momentum."
