Preparation.

Here I am, sitting in my room with dirty clothes that need to be packed.  It is approximately 2 days before departure and only one bag is ready to go-the supply bag.  Preparing for this trip has taken a lot more planning than one might expect.  I can't imagine how a MISSIONARY feels-having to pack for 2 years.  4.5 months is hard enough.  Do they have bobby pins in China?  What about Q-tips.  What about contact solution?  Should I bring a 5 month supply just to be safe?  If so, that just means one less pair of shoes.
