What did you spend your second transfer on?
When I received my second transfer, I extended my main house from 20 iron sheets to 25 iron sheets. The former house was very tiny and therefore it could not sufficiently accommodate all my visitors. I am glad that as a christian, I can now receive all visitors from the church without any shame.
Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
The biggest difference in my daily life is that I sleep and wake up in a bigger house. I am now able to receive visitors without any restriction. The former house was really embarrassing me a lot since it was really congested.
