Sister missionary packing list

Updated list as of April 2014. I have edited this list since I first left for my mission, as I have a little more experience with what is really needed. I leave in a little over 3 months for my mission. Packing is one of my least favorite things to do. Anytime we travel I usually pack the day I leave or late at night the night before. When I pack for my mission I hope I don't procrastinate that much but we will see. I am so worried I will forget something but I know it will be fine. Here is…

When I was younger, I was the kid that had my backpack packed, and waiting by the door in June. I love packing and organizing. I could spend my whole paycheck on office supplies…which I did…

I am the kind of person who starts planning out & purchasing Christmas presents in the Spring! I've learned that a careful plan and spending $ over time (instead of panic-purchases & spending a large amount at once) is the way to go!
