What did you spend your second transfer on?
When I received my second transfer, I went back to my home in Rachuonyo, sat down with my spouse and decided on constructed a house with the transfer. We had a house yes, but was too small to accommodate my family comfortably. I am so happy today that the headache I had towards the house project is no more.
Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
The biggest difference in my daily life is the happiness I have gotten from the house that I constructed. I feel much secured and free since my family has a better house to stay in.
