Well, home used to be the best place to find a job. The city was the perfect place to find all different sorts of employment. One had to only put forth the effort. Well, the past few months have certainly been full of effort, with little result. But I am now employed with little to do with my search for a job at all.
It all actually started with accepting a visiting teaching assignment. Since I was home for the summer, my Relief Society president thought it would be beneficial to give me an assignment. My companion then referred me to another sister in the ward who was putting together a road show and hiring women to work for a week. A week of work was better than no work, and it payed well, so I jumped on that! I enjoyed my time on the road show and there met another women. She was spunky and we both got along splendidly. She was about thirty and kept guessing I was in my 20s, which I found rather humorous. The first day of working together, she referred me to her husband, who was looking for a woman to man his kiosk. The second day working together she told me, he would be willing to hire me, despite my return to school. So after a week of working for the road show, I got to try my hand at being a sales person (which I have never really been good at). So far, so good. We have been busier than normal, which is a blessing because I get payed an hourly salary as well as commission.
All I have to say is, I wouldn't have found this job (plus babysitting opportunities) if I wasn't a faithful member of the church and if it's members didn't care about me. Truly, finding this job was through several acts of mercy by the members and by God's hand. Truly, the ward family unit can produce miracles in a financial crisis, in times of uncertainty, and when support is needed. I thank my God for that. I thank him for the wisdom in the organization of His church. We are supported on all sides. Truly, we will not be alone.
