Packing Fiasco

Packing had always seemed fun to me for some strange reason. It's all the anticipation of a trip and so I start way too soon and normally end up forgetting important items. I've been collecting things since I decide to leave again..so April and there have been bins on top of bins sitting in my tiny 9 x 9 room. I saw I needed to condense a wee bit.. So packed for the first round this last weekend and as I went over my 'in bag list' I saw, not only did I completely miss a bathing suit but also socks..cold medicine,Clorox wipes..and so on.. Really?! So that is why I pack a few times..hopefully by the time it's really time to go everything has a spot. 

Earlier this year I had stopped at a local store to see what sale items they had, I was on a mission so kept asking if they had certain items instead of just looking around. The owner asked why those certain items were on my list, I was able to give a fine witness and she even offered to send some clothes with me for the brothers and sisters. I was shocked because she had just met me and normally things like this don't  just happen. (Someone's hand may be involved.) I was beyond excited, I had the idea to leave a chunk of my own clothing there to save on space and to help out the sisters there but never imagined that a total stranger would like to help as well. As it stands she may also help pay for a bag to fill full of needed items! Jah does make sure that all his people are provided for no matter how or what it may be that's needed. I have started gathering little toys, jewelry, coloring books, men's ties, women's clothing and household items for the congregation making them little care packages. The missionary couple have been sending me photos of the little ones I can't wait to see theirs little faces light up.

Over all I think I have most items, although I was just told to bring a tea kettle and solar powered lights, which does anyone know do they make mini tea kettles? It wouldn't kill me to pack more granola bars either,  Amazon.com here I come for the millionth time.
