Wow! It 's been a while hasn 't it? Well today marks exactly 2 days, 19 hours, and minutes until I depart from the airport on my third missions trip to Guatemala!! It 's another two week trip which means deciding what to pack becomes infinitely harder. So below, I 've decided to include my packing list! Hopefully this helps you packing for either a missions trip to Guatemala, a missions trip in general, or just overall leaving the U.S.
Food - Obviously I put the most important thing first! On most mission trips where and when you 'll be eating are planned out for you. Whether you eat a lot, (like me) or you 're a picky eater, (also like me) it 's just a good idea to include some of your favorite munchies!

Especially when it 's warm. To keep you from getting tempted to just not drink, take water flavors to shake things up a little!
Oreos - Um, because they 're oreos!
General
Passport
Money - For souvenirs, snacks, etc; Don 't bring more than you think you 'll need!
Book - I only take one book because we rarely have any free time and when we do, we usually go somewhere.
ID - It 's just a good idea to have some form of identification on you.
Journal - It 's not everyone 's thing but if you do it, you 'll definitely want to bring it on an adventure like this!
Bible - It is a missions trip after all.
Plug Adapter - Depends on what country you are going to and where you are staying. My team stays in a hotel so I won 't need one. If you plan on bringing a hair dryer, though it is good to have one.
Camera - And any batteries/charger/SD cards you 'll need.
Chargers
Polaroid - Most of the kids in the villages have never actually seen what they look like, other then reflections in the water. iPod - For pictures because my phone camera has got the wiggins and won 't work.
Water Bottle - Having your own plastic one just makes it easier to know which ones yours.
Meds / First Aid
Antihistamine - Allergy
