Are we finished packing?
What can I eliminate?
How many times have I loved packing in the last 5 months; let me count the ways… Boxes for the house and for Corona. Prepack for the mission. Minimize “things” in the house to show for rent. Pack for Seattle, Oakland, Salt Lake City, Seattle, Oakland. More boxes for the house. Repack for the mission in new suitcases. Pack the uhaul and car to Palm Desert. Pack Palm Desert. Suitcases too heavy for the airline - take everything out and see if I really need it. Salt Lake City. Separate suitcase for MTC in Provo. Pack what I think is my final backpack for the plane! Haha, not the last one yet. Visas were in and we needed to go to Salt Lake to see the Spanish consulate. Jumped on the plane passed the interview friday - come back saturday.
.. but now reorganize the 3 suitcases to take the one for the MTC because i just found out we can wear pants while we are there! Pack buckets of belongings in Palm Desert. Pack an extra suitcase. Give suitcases to airline curbside. And that’s it. Houses are ready and suitcases are packed. MTC here we come! Woohoo! We are so grateful for all of the million tender mercies we have received to get this far. Thank you Heavenly Father and our Jesus Christ!
