Sister Bodtcher and I  Hey Family!  The beginning of the week we had exchanges with the Brookings sisters. I was with Sister Bodtcher and we had alot of fun together. It was good to be able to talk to her about goals in life and the next step. On our drive back to North Bend we stopped by and saw our senior couple the Williams. The Willams actually served a mission with Brenda and Ron Myers from my home ward. They know him the same way I do as the racoon man. Lol  I guess Ron carried a Raccon around with him in his mission.  Elder and Sister Williams  On Wednesday this week we were doing morning excerise and I twisted my foot pretty bad.  I attempted to "walk it off." Lol But when I got back to the apartment I couldn't walk at all. After studies I finally called the Nurse and after much icing and elevation I went into the doctors. They did an xray and thankfully my foot is not broken. I was told to not walk on it for a few days which was ...

The hotel apartment (my 18 month mark day Nov 17) Hey Family and Friends! It's been a pretty eventful week. I have been out on my mission now for 18 months! It's crazy at the beginning of the mission you never think the day will come. It's been a Fantastic week. This week was my last Zone conference. Sister Denison and I were asked to teach about setting goals! We decided to take a cooking theme and bake muffins one with extra salt not following a recipe and one with a recipe. We need plans to get the right outcome. It was probably one of the best teaching statements I've ever done at zone conference. Although we didn't have much time to prepare the Lord lead us to what we needed to do and say.  When it is your last Zone Conference, President Orton usually asks you to share your testimony. I had no idea what I was going to say but when President Orton asked me to go and a scripture instantly flew through my mind. "Submit cheerfully to all the ...

Sister Kiera opens her ORANGE package! Orange you glad you served a mission?I love this gospel  I love being a missionary!  I love the blessings I have seen! I love more people more deeply more then I ever thought I would! Family and Friends!  Now is the time of many changes is the church and for the Northwest region there have been some changes in the missionary work schedule. But before I get into that exciting news..... On monday we headed down to Eugene as Sister Denison had a doctor's appointment. But that made for a great day for us. We went shopping and of course had to stop by our favorite place, Trader Joe's!! You know I had to get some of that cookie butter and pretzels! We also we able to get yumm bowls. I know many of you don't know what that is because it's totally a Eugene Oregon thing. But it's so good!  I'll try and bring there sauce home.  So the rest of our day we spent with the missionaries in the Eugene zone and I was able t...

Hey Family!  Not sure if I'll have lots of time today to email because we are heading off to Eugene. It's been such a fun crazy week. I think I blinked one to many times. It's been eventful with Halloween and being mistaken as trick or treaters. We had a blast going to the Aurduals (our ward mission leaders house) where his wife decorates the inside and outside of her house. We also went to the Johnston's who made us homemade rootbeer! We ate lots of food and had a good time dancing to our Christian music until bed time.  This week we had lots of lessons, we met with Barbara and Nick and taught about the priesthood. He is super excited to recieve the priesthood and Barbara is working on getting her recommend for the temple!  This week I was fighting off being sick but the Lord has provided for me each day and we've still been able to work.  On Saturday we had a family history day where Sister Denison and I helped people sign up and get accounts. It was...

                           The leaves are changing and it's absolutely beautiful!  Hey Family!  Can you believe Halloween is  tomorrow ? Where did October go? I'm still waiting for my summer. I have worn a sweater everyday since I arrived here on the coast about 5 months ago. I'm so excited to be staying here in North Bend. I love the people and this last week we have seen so many miracles!  As you know I said bye to Sister Davis on Tuesday but I know I will get to see her next week so that wasnt to bad. The hard part was seeing some of my other friends that I know I will not be seeing before I leave the mission. There are so many Sisters here that I love so much. I picked up Sister Denison this week and man do I already love this girl so much! She is amazing! She is a hard worker and we have been going super hard this week. Like running door to door in the pourin...
