The previous episode was nothing compared to that described below, the most important event of his life. 
Mr Boggis was driving to home of his next victim. ¿What would happen there? Nobody knew and nobody could ever imagine. The house that he was looking, was white and a bit faded by rains, was making of wood, and had two doors the front and back, three windows a front next to the door and the other from the side and back.  He looked some information about owners of the house, but he found anything ; nobody knew who would open the door. The house was locating between a forest and grassland; for that reason, it was hard to find, but Mr Boggis was sure he would find it, because it was the last house remaining to visit. After driving for three hours longer, Boggis found house that he so much was looking for. He stopped his car, then he was watching a few minutes the house. After he got out of the car and he walked one hundred meters aproximately. While he walked toward the door he was thinking that the house was little different from the picture that he had. It was a small house with a large garden full of flowers, tulips, roses and carnations, all very well kept, it had grass green newly irrigated. Also, the garden had trees with different fruit; it was ready to eat. 
When finally he arrived to the doorway, he knocked to the door and after a few seconds, the door was opened by a woman. He described the woman as the most beautiful woman that his eyes ever had seen. She had long hair, curly, light brown. She had honey-colored eyes with long and curvaceous eyelashes. Her nose was fine like a delicate porcelain doll and her lips were ruby red crimson. "Good afternoon, Could I help you?” she said with her sweet voice. “Yes, I could”, replied nervous Boggis and he gave her his business card. He had been speechless with the beauty of the woman. She introduced herself saying her name: "My name is Adelaide Montt". He answered: "Nice to meet you, I am the reverend Cyril Winnington Boggis and I am the president of the Society for the preservation of rare furniture”. And she told him gently that “she did not know how I could help you?” Immediately, he said: "Would you show me if you have rare furniture in home?" She innocently replied: "Of course, come in!" He came into the house and he began to see every furnitures, instantly, he saw an armchair that it was in a corner of living room. The armchair looked in perfect conditions. Watching better he could know that it was a Victorian model of the eighteenth century approximately. As he watched the beautiful armchair, he could not concentrate on how to achieve its, because he could not stop to admired the beauty of Adelaide. She told him that her previous boss had given her this armchair. "So I cannot give it or sell it to anybody" the woman said.
For the first time, he did not want to continue to insist and he started to ask about her life. Among many things, she told him that she was very sick and she needed someone to take care because she had no husband or children or family. When they were finishing the conversation he asked her "if she had any problem with that he will come to visit her another day, as friends of course". And she quickly replied: "Yes I would love". Apparently he was in love but it was not good for his business. However eventually he did not worry. He visited her too often for several months and for the first time in his life, he had forgotten his business, his greed, so he could feel something called love. Unfortunately time later she died. She died without knowing the truth, without knowing who was really Boggis, but she died feeling loved. Boggis was very sad because he really loved her. He did not know what doing with his life, he had not more love. Perhaps, he would return to his business, to deceive people or maybe, he would look for a good job as it would have liked to her beloved Adelaide. Will Continue.
When I was child I used to think that the preachers could not be in love, they could not have wife or children, but eventually I assumed that they can form a family, like any other person. If you were thinking that this was a love forbidden by society you made ​​a mistake, because this was a pure and real love.

PREACHER IN LOVE

The Balance between Family and Work

Actually, many people think that having a job, then improving and making money is the most important purpose in their lifes. Nevertheless, the family plays a role in their lifes because the family is emotional support that we have. Can you have a job and family at the same time?

The answer is –yes I can- If you are organized person.It´s hard for some people find the balance between family and work because both, family and work need time and need dedication. For example, In the short story The Jack Randa Hotel (Open secret, Alice Munro) we can find a woman Gail who firstly lost your family because when she was eighteen years old she left her house with her boybriend and never returned to see her family, So in that moment the only support was her boyfriend. Then she knew Will, the love of her life. but the time after he left her for another woman named Sandy. So decided following her ex-husband Will to Australia, leaving her house, her possetions, her job (because she had a store which she had to sell to Donalda), and her country for love. In fact, she though that family is the most important thing because in her case, the only family that she had was Will.  This was a brave decision., leaving everything for nothing because Will did not love her.
In ddition, I think that Gail took a bad decisions in her life that is why she could not find the balance between family and work for that reason she did not prosper in their work or made ​​a family.

In my case, I have mixed the study and family because I am married and have a baby. I am happy for this, I love my husband and I love my son and I like to study too, but It´s so hard for me, because my little family need me and I need to study so much. Both are very important for me because If I do not study I will have bad grades, therefore I will have to leave university and this is so bad for my future. But if I do not pay attention to my family the relationship between us will be wrong and it will not let me concentrate my studies.I tried to organize my time but sometimes, I think I need more hours in the day to accomplish everything. However, I am just starting with this new routine but I am a strong and courageous woman who can do it. I am neither the first nor the last person has to do something similar, mixing work and family.

In conclusion, you can find the balance between family and work, If you love them. The balance is not what is more important than another but how you face your work and your family at the same time. Finally, work and family go hand in hand because you can not live good financially If you do not work   but can not live without your emotional support, family.
You must be organized and you will have family and work.
