     I've got a week before I leave on my mission and waaay too much time to nervously pace around the house. So, since I've got a white table and enough time to line up a bunch of things, here is what I'm packing, visually deconstructed.

Gifts/Decoration

(Christmas is almost as soon as I arrive, so instead
of stressing about mini gifts for the other sisters, I already
got some ahead of time. Also birthdays are a big deal,
and even little things (like banners) always cheers people up!)


Things I forgot to photograph
nail polish remover
large tub of vasaline
tampons (the ones in Germany are OK, but not my favorite, 
so I only packed a few month supply)
converter for camera
camera charger
18 month supply of contacts
glasses case

(and I'm sure a few other things too)

  1. Hello Lexie,
    I really enjoyed reading your blog so far. I am pleased to see you have considered your packing with precision, even though I don't know what some of the things are. I am glad that you have a blog as I was really worried that you would be cut off from your friends and family. I wish you the best of luck and many blessings on your first steps of your adventure. Don't hate Manchester too much!

    I'm so glad you're out changing the world and doing what you love.
    Stay true to your heart, and stay beautiful.

    1. Honestly I didn't get any special missionary shoes, we were in public transportation so often. I did just fine with the flats and shoes I normally wear.
