Some Excellent News

So, remember my post a few weeks ago? The one where I felt so sad and hopeless because our car had broken down and we were having trouble coming up with the money for Jonathan's school? Well, some updates on that situation. We bought my friend Joel's old cheap car and so far it's working out great.

On the school tuition front we applied for federal aid and actually were awarded two grants. Each one for $400 each semester. Then, Jonathan turned in his paperwork for tuition reimbursement and got $400 back from that. So, that's a total of $1200 each semester if we get the same reimbursement from Maverik for fall. Here's where it gets really neat: Jonathan's tuition for fall: $1179. It's covered. We were so worried about it. We'll have to come up with a few hundred dollars for books, but his tuition is taken care of. Isn't it great how the Lord will provide? Have faith, pay your tithing, work hard, and things will work out somehow.

Or do you best, apply for thousands of dollars worth of loans and hope you'll be able to pay them off in the end. That's my hope. Congrats though, that is awesome!
