Charles' Gift
When Grandpa Steve and I were living in Provo and he was a student at BYU we were living on a very strict budget and each semester it was a struggle to come up with the money that we needed for tuition. This one particular time our finances had been so tight and as the new semester approached we didn't know what we were going to do to pay tuition. Fortunately we had always been careful about paying our tithes and offerings and so we moved ahead and Steve got registered although we didn't know where the funds would come from. A few days before the money was due we received a letter in the mail from my little brother Charles. He had just finished working in spud harvest and he felt that we would need his money more than he did. He sent us $150, the exact amount that we needed for tuition, with a sweet note saying that he wanted us to have the money on loan and that sometime down the road we could pay him back. It was such a sweet thing for him to do and I remember sitting down and crying in appreciation for this small miracle.
