Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
My life is better because I now sleep on a bed and a mattress. I have purchased construction materials which will enable me construct an iron roofed house. I desired to have an iron roofed house because termites have disturbed me a lot by destroying the roof of the hut I am currently sleeping in. Before, I was sleeping on a mattress made of cotton (cotton packed in a mattress cover) which was hard.

I felt happiness in my heart when I got to know that I had received the money in my phone and within me I knew that I had already all that I wanted.
