Caught up on my sleep

I actually went home at 6pm!!! As soon as I got to my apartment I turned on the AC, kicked off my shoes and slept on the loveseat downstairs. I woke up around 9pm when I cleaned up my stuff downstairs, went upstairs FINALLY then went to the store to get some veggies AND my propel zero flavored water is on sale at Macy's for 50 cents. I used my $50 visa card century link sent me for signing up for the internet with them. Still a little wary about giving $500 to my Mexican friends, I prayed about it a few times before I actually did it. I kept getting the same answer so I went to the bank and dipped into the $750 reserve they allow me. I stuck it in a thank you card and drove to Hyrum. I asked Chris to watch the library for me for a couple of hours so I could go to my Mountain America branch in North Logan before going to Hyrum. They are so sweet they kept talking to me about his healing miracle and then they said we should meet up for a BBQ at the lake in Hyrum. It's so weird to have friends that barely understand you. Later that night Pablo texted me that he could take care of something because of my generosity. I was sooo grateful to him. Buying another car is NOT an option right now. My friends here at work recommended I check my oil EVERY two weeks. I think I'll just do it when I get paid every two weeks until it becomes a habit. Travis said I NEED to change my oil badly. I'll try to get it done the Saturday following my next payday on the 20th. I have enough cash left over to pay my tithing AND leave me with $70 for food. The extra $50 from century link is a blessing. I'm still going to have to dip into my reserve when I get paid again since I'll get maybe $450 after the negative is adjusted of which I need to set aside $300 for rent and $147 for my first bankruptcy filing payment. I'm REALLY glad Margaret Oak told our class that statement that the law of tithing is the law of getting by but the law of fast offering is the law of getting ahead. Since I've started to pay fast offering I've definitely been getting ahead. I remember one of my former bishops Bishop Fangupo told an inspiring story about fast offering. He and his wife were married for six years and she was unable to conceive. They discussed this with their bishop at the time. He told them if they would double their fast offering they would be alright. They did and after several months she did conceive however she had a miscarriage. Devastated their bishop told them if they would double this again they would have a child. With amazing faith they did this again and several months later they had a baby boy. Now they have 6 children. The eldest is on a mission now. They have a huge house in South Jordan. It is big and mansion-like. The Fiefias who were in the bishopric later actually did have a mansion. South Jordan is a great new area. If I were to raise a family in and around Salt Lake City my first choice would be Cottonwood Heights followed closely by Draper or South Jordan. NOOO... Actually my first choice is a condo right downtown although with a family I'd need a house in the avenues or Federal Heights. I love being right downtown. I think however I'd rather live in California. Cache Valley is temporary!!!
