Yes. To lie about field service time would have completely undermined the reason I was there in the first place. And no, I don't think I was pathetic for being honest.
I have to agree with John Doe. It never occured to me to pad my hours. I did find out that my husband had been turning in hours for me to keep the elders off HIS back! I was so upset with him for lying.
Why be in the "Truth" if you are going to lie?
