One thing that I didn't realize before I left on the mission is that you move A LOT. There is the potential for a transfer into a new area every 6 weeks. Sure you need to bring your life for the next 18 months in a suitcase, but there are ways to keep things light and easy for you. Don't make the mistake I made of lugging the largest suitcase known to man around the entire mission. Here's a website that has some great tips for packing light in every country and culture:

It also has some great suggestions on what types of fabrics are best to travel with. For example, in cold climates, good long underwear can be a better investment and keep you warmer than a bulky coat.
