Haaaaaa this is so weird. I give my farewell talk in church this Sunday!!! I'll post it on here once I've given it. Time has sped by SOOO quickly and half of me wants it to freeze, but the other half of me wants to embrace it! I CANNOT WAIT TO GO TO PROVO AND THEN TO JAPAN!!! hahaha but I will definitely miss my family and friends in my mitten state and in America. I still need to pack a few things and get some legal and medical things done.
Here's a taste of the stuff I'll need to bring with me on this adventure for the next 18 months:
-driver's license
-passport (mine's supposedly somewhere in Provo. otherwise this might be a very short trip)
-visa (in progress)
-current temple recommend
-scriptures in english
-journal, pens, pencils, notebooks, envelopes, millions of stickers (woo hoo! write me while I'm gone!)
-Church literature including True to the Faith, Jesus the Christ, Our Heritage, and Our Search for Happiness
-debit card-- make sure to contact the bank to let them know of my locations/dates, so they don't think you're scammin'
-flash drive in the shape of a cochlear surgeon action figure, thanks to Pops
-1 purple umbrella
-hangers for skirts, shirts, coat
-camera and charger
-2 hand, wash, and regular towels
-make-up, 3 big tubes of toothpaste (apparently Japan doesn't have quality toothpaste?)
-3 sticks of old spice sweat defense pure sport. men's deodorant works 10000000% better. and just smells heavenly.
-lots and lots of women products bahahah
-shoe insoles
-3 razors
-hello kitty band-aids. let the obsession begin
-a gigantic bottle of multi-vitamins, dayquil and nyquil, sudafed, claritin, pepto bismol, anti-itch cream, anti-biotic ointment, looooads of excedrin, cough drops, anti-fungal cream (cross your fingers we won't have to use this), icy hot, as many migraine meds as possible, the biggest bottle of advil imaginable
-4 toothbrushes, 5 floss packets
-6+ chapsticks
-side bag, although I hear Japan has really good missionary bags, so we'll see how this one compares
-passport holder
-pencil/pen holder with pictures of my little brother smothering it, courtesy of said little brother
-guatemalan pouch my brother gave me from his mission
-watches/earrings/necklaces
-Japanese fan-- just preppin.
-personal chopsticks-- more prep
-missionary white handbook
-framed "Living Christ"for the apartment
-lots and lots of quotes from church and my Dad that'll hang in my apartment
-dino silly bands, mike wazaoski bracelet
-shampooo/conditioner, face wash, lotion, shaving cream
-comb, q-tips, nail polish
-sewing kit
-alarm clock
-laundry bag
-small flashlight
-batteries
-undies, slips, spandex shorts for biking in skirts all day, every day
-1 pair of jeans, 3 t-shirts
-1 pair of gym shoes
-outfits (8-10), warm and cold
-3 shoes that are polishable, sturdy, good arch support, slip-ons, and water resistant. good luck!
-rain boots
-warm tights for 2 winters
-2 capri-length pants for working out, 1 pair of long pants for working out, 1 sweatshirt
-socks
-winter coat with zip-out liner and breathable
-gloves and hat that are waterproof and warm
-about 4 sweaters/cardigans
-p.j.'s and slippers and robe
-shower sandals
-ipod with no internet connection, full of inspiring songs
-Preach My Gospel
-temple clothes
hahaha I'm sure I'm forgetting a few things in there, but I'd say that's a solid list? It all needs to fit into 2 suitcases, each needing to weigh less than 50 pounds. So that's good.
