We have felt the need to go through all things before we go. When we find things of value, we either give them away, or give them to the Deseret Industries. Once again we have to sort of envision what it will be like when we get back. Where will we live? What will we need? Why keep things that we won't need? Why keep things that we have not even looked at in the last few years?
In trying to envision our circumstances when we return to make some of those decisions, it is difficult. Where will we be living? Will we need a lawn mower? How about a book case? Etc. It is a challenge.
Bonnie's aunt is serving a mission, and very recently, her aunt's house was burned down, to the ground. They lost everything almost. The barn wasn't burned. She is quoted as saying, "It is only stuff." We have lots of stuff. Maybe we should get rid of it all? As long as we are together, serving together, the stuff is insignificant.
Days goes by, things get done, money is spent, things are packed. The thing that gives me the most night mares are wondering if we will have it all done before we leave. Time will tell.
