We discovered the other day that I have waaaaay underpacked for this trip. This, now, makes me laugh as I have 3 bags stuffed beyond reason sitting in my bedroom and front room. 1st. I said I am packed. That is a little over the top in preparation style stuff. There's still 2 weeks to go to the trip. Of course, for the most part I don't need any of the stuff I'm taking including all the clothes. Almost everything will stay over there. 2nd is the word underpacked. Is such a thing possible when travelling on a mission trip to a 3rd world country? We are supposed to take 2 50 lb. bags. Inconceivable. I will have to fill one with the weight of saws and hammers and fencing and irrigation pipes or whatever. I think I have no idea what I'm doing. Let alone how I will wrestle around these bags. Just think, in order to fill one more bag the size of this bright shiny red one that I just got I would have to go out and buy.... buy.... buy.... Well, maybe you all want to send donations to fill the bag!! Let's see. I need construction paper, miracle gro, small hand tools (really), vitamins, lotions, food mixes, craft items, sewing items....well, if you want a list just ask. In the meantime....

was telling Martha just the other night the same thing.They need to post lists of things needed so people can donate items.
I thought a ad in the Ad Visor would have been good.You wish list for going.
Do a post on things needed, maybe you friend Lynn could put up a list at work too. Maybe you could fill a suitcase with things needed.
I will check back later for ideas.
List please!
Way to go Sue! Your bags will be full in no time - even the spanking brand new red one!
