Congrats on the call! I'm pretty confident you'll love
Virginia and will hate it when you finally have to come home. Regarding your
inquiry as to what to take for the mish, just know two things: It's bitterly cold in
the winter, and hotter than hades in the summer. Once in a while for about a two
week period you'll experience some nice weather, but don't count on it to last
too long. The primary factor in both weather seasons is the blasted humidity. So
for winter take very warm clothes, even long-john garments if you can, and short
sleeve shirts with breathable fabric for the pants in the winter. If you say you're
from Florida you're probably use to the humidity. It'll rain occaisionally also,
especially if you're in a bike area. The type of P-day clothes to take will
depending on what the new president is like. Some, like my president, only
wanted you wearing your whites when you were out in public, even if you were
going to the church to play basketball with the other missionaries.
I don't know if that helps at all, but if you have any more questions e-mail me
back and I'll try to answer. Good luck, and be prepared for the best two years
of your life. Virginia rocks!!!
: I just got my call to the Virginia Ricmond mission and I need to know some info on some essential items I should take with me such as raincoates, p-day clothes, etc.. What kinda weather am I gonna face? I am originally from Florida, but I have been in the desert for a few years and I need some info. IF anyone can clue me in, please e-mail!
