Paperwork.

I'm amazed at how many forms it takes to send a team of missionaries overseas.

For one student, there are 4 forms from Headquarters and 5-8 donation forms sent throughout the spring. Some projects have visa forms, as well, and I'll need multiple copies of the same form.

The Upper Midwest will send around 157 people overseas this summer. Some quick math tells me that I will handle something like:

628 Headquarter forms
798 Donation Forms
170 Visa Forms

That's 1,596 forms. It's a good thing that 'Input' is one of my strengthsfinder themes.

I wonder what I use more: paperclips or forms?
