Diez días!

Yep, you heard right! I fly out of the Salt Lake City Airport on the 30th. I am so excited to be going to Mexico! So, in preparation for Mexico, I bought a few things I'll be needing today.
Looks like I have a stowaway!

As Volunteers we're supposed to bring teaching supplies and prizes for the kids. I bought some supplies today. Still got quite a bit to get!

We were given a list of suggestions of things to bring and suggested to bring a suitcase of teaching supplies. My plan is to have my big suitcase for my clothes and other stuff that I'll need, and the smaller suitcase will be full of teaching supplies (and, when I come back I can either fold it up and stick it at the bottom of my bigger suitcase, or (more likely) fill it with my souvenirs from Mexico).

So, is there anything I'm missing? You tell me. Any suggestions on what I should bring as far as teaching supplies and prizes for the kids go? Let me know below or on Facebook! And keep checking back for more posts and pictures once I'm in Mexico!

Adios!



Here is what I got for teaching supplies and prizes today.

All packed up! Well, for now...
