Preparation
It's been too long. But I've had other things to do. I've had a lot of preparation to do. Material, Physical, Emotional and Spiritual (in no particular order). Material Preparation . I officially hate shopping. Do you know how hard it is to find 8-10 cute missionary length skirts? (FYI missionary length does not mean knee length, it means PAST the knee length) Did you know NO ONE sells attractive raincoats with zip-out liners? Have you ever tried finding practical, sturdy, non-clunky shoes? On top of all that I had to put together a first-aid kit, buy and pack luggage, sort through my jewelry to see what was "simple" and finds some nice hair accessories. Believe you me, this is only the beginning (don't get me started on immunizations and official documents). So, basically, I've been shopping since May and I might cry the next time I walk into the mall or Wal-Mart. But it was worth it. I feel almost possibly slightly close to being materially prepared. May
