What did you spend your third transfer on?
I spent the whole of my third transfer on construction of a new house to replace the old and weak one that I had before which had been bitten all over by termites. I am so glad that I currently live in a very good and strong house that has brought me much peace of mind and happiness in life. Thanks a lot to the organization.
