JOB

So last week ended up being a really good week. On Friday Jared got an offer from England Logistics, and he will start on July 29th. This trial could not have turned out better. He wanted this job really bad. It was his first choice. England Logistics is a sister company of CR England, a trucking company. Jared will be negotiating with truckers on the amount of money they want to move a load. He will be making about the same as he was and then he will get commission on top of that. After the first year he could be making double what he was with his salary and commission. He applied with CR England about a year ago and didn't get the job. Ever since then the disappointment of not getting that job hasn't left his mind. He really wanted to work for them for several reasons, but most of all their cooperate offices are here in Salt Lake. So that makes the potential of long term employment greater. I'm so proud of him. He did everything he was counseled to do. We see all the many blessings that came from this terrifying experience now and understand why things worked out the way they did. If he hadn't gotten laid off he wouldn't have gone to the church's networking group. If he hadn't gone to the networking group he would have never heard of this job because they didn't post it. They send a recruiter to these meetings to find potential employees. So all is well, and we're better off than we ever could have hoped for. Thank you to everyone who cried, prayed, fasted, and begged with us. We can never express how thankful we are for all that support.
