It's not a great variety, but they want people to serve regardless of circumstance. I usually don't have my own if I'm traveling or something, and I quietly explain this to the first female temple worker I see and they quietly take me to their small collection. This counsel came from my grandmother who was a temple worker in a small temple for a long time. Hasn't failed me yet! It also makes sense for pregnant women who usually have their own but don't have a maternity dress. I suppose not every temple is as accommodating, but the ones I've had to do this at so far have.

Here they don'...That would be frustrating, too. Here they don't wait very long—they take your phone number when you make an appointment and will start calling you if you're running too late (like, if you're not there 15 minutes before the session starts). I think that might be why the sealing sessions start 15 minutes after the hour? So they can squeeze patrons in there who've otherwise missed their session? I don't know.<br /><br />Isn't it so funny about renting clothes? I almost feel like places that don't rent clothes are places where it's harder to obtain clothes so renting them out almost makes MORE sense. But that's just me. (But they don't have the huge laundry facilities that I know the larger temples have, so...). Anyway...now you know! :)Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08631734965938273438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624978.post-81019245392342722482017-01-27T01:11:30.018-05:002017-01-27T01:11:30.018-05:00So, I didn't know the thing about smaller temp...So, I didn't know the thing about smaller temples not renting out clothes (like you, we have lived far, far away from temples for most of the last ten years so it's just not something I was aware of). I went to the Helsinki temple a few months ago and walked over to what kind of looked like clothing rental and just nonchalantly asked to rent a whole set. They were like, umm, we don't really do that? So they rummaged and found a set and I felt bad but I didn't know, sorry! Now I do.<br /><br />I think the session thing goes both ways - on that day, I had a time limit for the END of the session due to babysitter reasons, but they ended up starting sooo late to accommodate people who were running late (probably also for babysitter reasons, ha!) and I was sweating by the end because everything went way overtime. Sigh. /rantBridgethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11339936940500165901noreply@blogger.com
