Mission Trip Food and a Very Long Grocery List

This week I'm in Pine Ridge South Dakota.. on a Mission Trip…

There are are several different types of Mission Trips.  There are the kind you go on with a company, where they do all the work and you just show up, (which are pretty awesome) and there are the kind you plan and execute yourself.  This Mission Trip is the kind we are doing on our own.

When you do a Mission Trip on your own, you have to think about lodging, work activities, fun, devotions, safety, travel and food. I've planned our food out for 7 Days..  I am responsible for meals for 20 people for breakfast and dinner.  For lunch we will have the 20 people + 40 to 60 kids each day.  Here's what we are having:
