Tithing or No Tithing

I went in to see the bishop for tithing settlement today. I brought with me tithing to pay on the birthday money I received from my grandpas. It's the only money I've earned this last year, and I talked to the bishop about why that was. I didn't have a paying job over the summer. I'm attending college on scholarship. I have enough money on my debit card to allow me to pay for food and things. Even though I'm technically working at the zoo now, I'm only volunteering.

So I haven't earned any money this year, and I felt a little awkward discussing that with the bishop, because I was afraid he wouldn't believe me. But he was understanding, and I was able to give him the tithing on my birthday money. That was pretty nice.
