I have to give credit to my same girls who packed Jay's suitcases. As the evening of Jan 1 grew later and later and I had not packed, they volunteered to help me. And help me they did. I was so thankful. They did such a good job. They even decided for me that a few things I had ready didnt need to go. They removed these and put them on a closet shelf to be mailed or delivered to the MTC if needed. In the morning of the day we were to leave, I found it difficult to get dressed. They had packed EVERYthing I had out. I pulled out a skirt and blouse but couldnt find the other things. I found an old slip, old bra (both ready for the garbage), second choice stockings, and pulled my shoes out of the garbage! It really didnt look that bad, but I felt a little self-conscious that first day in the MTC. Nobody seemed to notice (they couldnt see anything but the shoes, and it was just that the soles were cracked).
When we had been here a day, it was time to take a shower. I got out the shampoo and conditioner, but did not have hair gel. What to do? Being the resourceful person that I am, I looked around for a solution. Then I spied the KY gel on the sink counter. Well, gel is gel, isnt it? I thought so, so I squeezed some out. It felt like gel. Hey! It works like gel, too. So if ever you get into a pinch and cant find hair gel, try personal gel!!!!! But keep it a secret, afterall, it is personal!!!!
Tomorrow we go to the MTC 53rd ward. Monday we go to Welfare Square and Joseph Smith Building in Salt Lake for the day.
