I've been doing a lot lately to prepare for my mission though! I got quite a few things for Christmas that I'll take on my mission, and my mom and I have also been shopping for things like luggage and clothes.
First of all, I HIGHLY recommend the Sister Missionary Mall. I've found so many great things there! The prices are a little on the high side, but if you consider the kinds of fabrics they use and how long they'll last, it's understandable that they would be more expensive.
We got skirts, shirts, biking shorts, and even a pair of shoes at the Sister Missionary Mall, and it's great because all of the girls that work there are returned missionaries and they can answer a lot of questions about different climates and areas. I've been to the Sister Missionary Mall multiple times for different things and I've always found great stuff!
We also got luggage recently. We went to Sear's and they happened to be having a HUGE clearance on luggage! So we got two large suitcases and one carry-on. And we got them for a really good deal.
Another thing we got recently was glasses. I've had glasses or contacts since the 4th grade, but I've only had contacts since about my sophomore year of high school. So of course, I needed some glasses for the mission field. We bought them on Wednesday last week and it takes a week or two for them to be finished with the prescription stuff, so they should be done this week or next.
And finally, I'm going to Maryland next week! My aunt Diane bought me a flight to go see her in Maryland for my combined birthday and Christmas presents, so I leave this Saturday and I'll come back next Saturday. I'm really excited, but I think the last time I flew on a plane was when I was 5 or 6, and I've definitely never flown by myself. So this is going to be an adventure! But it will be a good prep for my mission and the 24 hours of travel it will take to get to the Czech Republic haha!
Anyway, that's all I've got for now. I'll try to stay more consistent with the blog posting, but no promises haha! Cya next time! :)
