What do you say???

I know it's been forever and a day since I posted... Kind of fell of the bandwagon but I HAD to post to tell whoever's listening about what just happened!! So the other night Jesse was coming home from work to get some clothes to go BACK to work, he's been working SO much BUT I AM THANKFUL!!! trust me!! I am so grateful I put up with it! but it was around midnight on Friday night and he had a blow out on the freeway on our only car, it could have been So much worse! he's lucky he didn't flip or anything but to make matters worse it was on the side of the Freeway and there was no way to move and he had to get out and change it by the busy side with cars rushing by!!Then he couldn't get it jacked up high enough to get the spare under. so he called his Dad in for help but his Dad couldn't get to him cause of where and how dangerous it was! luckily a DPS officer comes and helps him but the spare tire is WAAAY low!! So it was a nightmare non the less. Yesterday was Fast Sunday at church literally as we were walking out Jes got called into work! But I went and ended up bearing my testimony talking about my new calling the Primary Chorister. Today Jesse had the day off so while I was babysitting ( I have been watching 2 great kids 2x a week for extra income) he took the car to get the new tire. Well when we bought the car we opted for the tire insurance because the car's tires are REALLY expensive!! $230.00!! for ONE tire! WE looked it up online so we DEFIANTLY needed the insurance! A few months ago we had 2 bad tires and they gave us THE HARDEST time EVER!! We were told to go to the dealer, so we did then we had to wait 24-48 hrs while they sent out an agent to "look" at it, then they said the dealer was too expensive so they wouldn't pay unless we went to Discount Tire their price is 180. well we went today and they are refusing to pay for this tire!! saying there isn't "Road" damage! whatever.. so Jesse and the discount guy were fighting with the agent ---NO go! Well a guy over heard Jesse explaining to the agent that this is our only car and he is our sole source of income! and that the only option was to leave the car for 24-48 hours but they weren't going to give us a rental and the agent said they won't find "road" damage so it wasn't going to help. The guy came over and asked what was going on and asked Jes if he was married and if he had kids Jesse said yes and it's our only car so this stranger took him inside and paid for our tire!! Jesse called me amazed and shocked and didn't know what to say! What do you say to someone who is a stranger and basically gives you 200$?!?! I mean he said Thank you a million times but that doesn't seem to cut it! he called me and told me he doesn't even know his name. I started sobbing and immediately thanked my Heavenly Father and the 1st thing that popped into my head was Tithing!! I paid my tithing and fast offering yesterday!! I have such a huge testimony for tithing and this is just another example!!! I told Jes to go back in there and thank him for me. The man said not to worry about it; he's a Fireman and does landscaping on the side Jes said he wasn't LDS cause he was swearing like a sailor :) but he just felt a duty to help people out especially in this Economy! And he just asked Jesse to do something in return to someone else if and when he gets the chance! You Bet we will, Pay it Forward!! I know this was a LONG post but I had tell you what this Kindest stranger did for us!! What an amazing person, We know it doesn't matter if he's LDS or not but it was REALLY nice that he did this!!!!!!!!!! I mean we are told tojelp anyone and everyone anytime we cam ALL the time!! so It was So nice that people care! I know i could writ about this ALL night long but I am going to end it on this note, PAY IT FORWARD! Thank you kind stranger you have NO idea what this means to my family and me !!
