Yes, I am very, very flawed. And as I continue to find my many flaws, I will continue to be grateful for the people in my life who point them out! Last night my parents called, and asked me how I was doing. I, being the kind of person who won't ask for help unless it's absolutely needed, told them I was fine, and that I am doing well, which I am. I neglected to tell them that I had two dollars in my bank account, and would not get paid for a week, and was running out of clean underwear. I also neglected to mention that out of my earnings for each month (around $300), $200 went to rent, and $30 to tithing, I was left with around $70 for everything else. But I was never going to ask for money. I hate asking for money. It is absolutely my least favorite thing to do. If I have to live off ramen, I will. That's how much I dislike it. But my loving parents have the foresight to call, and knowing my personality, they asked me directly how much I had in my account, and soundly reprimanded me for not telling them I was flat broke. I love parents! They told me for the umpteenth time that if I was personally doing everything within my power to make ends meet, they would happily supplement my income each month. Of course, they give me much more that I would ever ask for, both monetarily and otherwise, but it never ceases to amaze me that they are so in tune with the spirit that they know when I need a hand, or when I'm struggling. I am so grateful for my loving family that supports me, and for the opportunity to be brought up in the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Evry ay I see blesings, whether it be a phone call, a friendly smile, or a postponed exam :) I know that I am nothing without my Savior, and I am eternally indebted to Him for everything I have. I hope that all of you that rad this and have not had the opportunity to hear the truth of the restord gospel will not hesitiate to ask me anything you want about it!
Love, Sam :)
