If you’re keeping up….It’s one week before my team takes off for Ghana! I made a list of things that I have to pick up before I leave and hopefully Ill have video of getting those things!!!

Here’s the list: 2 mini toothpastes; 2 mini shampoos and conditioners; qtips; sani-wipes (to wash hands before and after certain visits); socks socks socks (we’ll be walking miles every day); peanut butter (you can’t ever go wrong with that!) bandaides; laundry detergent; bug repelent; sun screen; LOTS OF KLEENEX TISSUE (they have out houses for you to use the bathroom- but you have to pay a $.25 for toilet paper and usually thats in the form of newspaper, so we try to stay prepared for it all!)…………among many other things that will be packed away in a giant bag like long skirts, several pairs of closed-toed shoes, a hat, etc.  Packing for a trip 5000 miles away makes you consider all that you need for the journey and then some.

So, a question for those of you who are reading this: If you were going on a trip 5000 miles awway fom all that you know, what’s the ONE THING that you couldn’t leave without?
