Susan drove us to Provo to begin our training at the MTC. There were many good things about last week: we were assigned to the Marriott Hotel in downtown Provo; so every day we had clean sheets, towels and the suite was spiff. We enjoyed it. Our classes were good, The young teachers were fun, skillful teachers and very energetic. We met lots of nice people and really bonded with one couple in particular. Paul and Sue Traxler from Colorado drive us to the MTC each morning, ate every meal with us and drove us back in the evening. They were very kind to us.

The cafeteria offered so many options and I had to try them all: so I am more round now than when I entered the MTC. That is bad. And now on to the ugly. The first day at the MTC I wore dress boots, the second day I was in professional heels and by the third day I was wearing ugly flats. It didn't take me long to wear down. As a matter if fact, I purchased two pairs of shoes at the MTC emergency clothing outlet. Yup, my feet needed relief.
Friday night, Susan, Trent and girls came to pick us up. We went to the Carl Bloch art exhibit on BYU campus. The paintings were spectacular. I'm so glad Susan suggested we attend.
Saturday morning all the Banks clan were up early to say goodbye. It was a tender time. We flew to Portland and had lunch with Karen, JR and girls. And then we had another goodbye. Two is too much for one day.
