Sister Terry is not a fan of hiking. Being the good sport that she is, Sister Terry accompanied her companion on quite a few hikes over the past year. She must admit, that although she is more of a stay at home and read a good book type person, being out in nature, in spite of being half out of breath most of the time, allowed her to have time to think, to reflect, and to be able to enjoy the beauties of the world that were created for our enjoyment while on earth.<br />

Amazon Trail is a fairly easy hike that we took quite a few times. Once Sister Terry got used to it, we were able to make it up and back in about an hour and a half.</div>

This was a two part couples get together. Elder and Sister Terry planned the main event, but Elder and Sister Rout suggested our dinner restaurant which turned out to be a fun diner called Buddy's. Fun music, good food and yes, that is the front of a real car sticking out of the wall! This was our last activity with the Caldwell's (Sister Caldwell is in the pink shirt) as they left for home shortly after this activity. </div>

Part two of the night was spent at the local baseball game. We had pretty good seats close to the dugout. Football may be all about the Ducks, but baseball is the Emeralds.</div>

It is always nice to spend time socially together. Since we are LDS and don't drink alcohol, we chose to eat out on the patio. From left going around the table: Sister Caldwell, Sister Rout, Elder Rout, Sister Terry, Elder Terry, Sister Oliphant, Elder Oliphant, Elder Mangun. Unfortunately Sister Mangun got cut off of the picture!<br />

Besides buying doughnuts, Voodoo also sells t shirts, hats, underwear and if you are really inclined, you can actually get married! We have no idea who this couple is and didn't see this wedding, but it is too bizarre not to include!</div>

All of the missionaries being transferred are driven to the Stake Center where they are taken to their new areas. It's a crazy busy time that happens every six weeks.<br />

Here I am with our favorite district leader, Elder Wells, who was our district leader for most of the six months we were in Burns. I started to put my arm around him in this picture and then remembered that is against mission rules. So that's why we were both cracking up.<br />

Right before Elder Hackett went home. We have a tradition where we call all of the missionaries on their birthdays and sing "Happy birthday" to them and blow horns and whistles. Elder Hackett's birthday was a couple of days after he went home so we had to call him in Utah and sing to him!<br />

The mission office is the hub of the mission. It's a little hard to find because it's located in the basement of a small shopping center. But once you find it, you have come to a busy and wonderful place.</div>

Sister Terry's desk... This is probably the cleanest it has been in awhile. Usually it has several projects spread out over it. Through the window you can see the little courtyard. Our plan is to buy a barbeque and have lunch together out there when the weather gets warmer.</div>

In the President's office. You can't see the desk in this picture, but it's got a computer so that he can use it to find apartments available. This bulletin board holds the pictures of the families of our missionaries. We encourage each family to send a picture before their missionary arrives. Our family picture is at the bottom just to the right of the phone.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This is the transfer board. It's a little hard to see, but each card represents a missionary and is set up by zones and then districts. By looking at this we can see who is where and who the companions are. There is a matching board at the President's home in his office there. Sister Terry makes two cards for every missionary shortly after they arrive. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This is the arrival/departure board. Sister Rout, who works with us in the office, changes it each month. The missionaries love checking out who is coming and who is going. Sister Terry also makes two of each of these pictures. One for our board and one for a board at the President's home. He and Sister Young like to be able to get familiar with the faces of those coming in and think about those going home. Yes, that is 31 on the left as the last picture is of a senior couple who just arrived. And it doesn't include the six visa waiters we just found out about! The work is moving forward at a rapid pace and we are so happy to be a part of it in our own little way.</div>

Not long after Christmas we ventured out to visit one of them. We should have been prepared when the only information we could find about where it was said that it was by mile marker 66. As we passed mile marker 66 it was too late to pull over so we decided to try on our way back down. We drove a little further to Waldport and drove over this bridge:<br />

After stopping for lunch, we decided to go back and try to find the lighthouse. Once again we approached mile marker 66 and this time pulled over. There was nothing to see even when we got out of the car to look. It was in a area with cliffs and lots of trees. As we drove away I caught a quick glimpse of the tower. Here is what it really looks like:</div>

Cleft of the Rock Lighthouse. It is privately owned and obviously difficult to find. Although we are counting it as one of the 11, we plan to go back and really search it out.</div>

We did manage to do some other sight seeing on our way home.</div>

Devil's Churn. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The waves on the ocean were huge and the water was choppy so we picked the right day. Devil's Churn is a narrow inlet where as the waves come into it there is nowhere for them to go so they crash upon the lava rocks. Very impressive to see in person!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Normally every fall we spend a week in Yellowstone. This is as close as we will get this year. This isn't too far from Devil's churn. As the waves crash up around the rock, it blows through a hole just like a geyser. So we call this our mini Old Faithful! </div>

Instead of buying each other stuff we wouldn't have room to take home at the end of our mission, we shopped for each other at the dollar store. It was fun and we were both creative! Elder Terry picked out the antlers for both of us to wear.<br />

A sweet picture of President O' Connor with some of the children. He read the Christmas story from the scriptures as the children acted it out. Then he talked to them about how both Jesus and Santa give gifts and without any fanfare or costume, he played Santa and had a special homemade stocking filled with treats for every child. What a great and simple way to celebrate Christmas!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
This is Dave.... and he has a fascinating story. His family operated a bakery when he was young. Instead of showing an interest in the bakery, as a teenager he showed an interest in drugs. He did four prison sentences through the years. Three and a half years into his last sentence things clicked and he was able to get help for his drug abuse and receive an education. After he was released the last time, he went to work at the family bakery which his brother now operated. But Dave decided to take it further and developed his own recipe and started Dave's Killer Bread.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Dave is based in Portland and his bread is available not only in stores such as Winco and Costco, but is even available by mail order! It may cost around $5 a loaf but is worth every dollar. It's the only bread we eat now. Go out and find some and try it for yourself!</div>

We stopped in Florence, Oregon hoping for Elder Terry to be able to visit a fly fishing museum I had read about. Unfortunately, the museum is now a play house! So we ate delicious clam chowder at the restaurant behind me before heading on our way north.<br />

Almost everyone in town in involved some how. No school because the kids are all doing 4H projects. Even the only movie theatre in town is closed. We decided to take advantage of the opportunity to use the fair as a missionary opportunity by having a family history booth.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhT_QguPiIi_L-de4EfIS9i-Kx3BcOUHyb7E9LOyY_cQZ6TXq8sxF4BbogBnM6wfTQgCVgggrgo_YSEMrosQ5lyclSvmqj5ZIChbjy5apeFO6X38mBgxpTtmzJNgzJXi8AReE2WFQrCzeo/s1600/Booth+banner.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhT_QguPiIi_L-de4EfIS9i-Kx3BcOUHyb7E9LOyY_cQZ6TXq8sxF4BbogBnM6wfTQgCVgggrgo_YSEMrosQ5lyclSvmqj5ZIChbjy5apeFO6X38mBgxpTtmzJNgzJXi8AReE2WFQrCzeo/s320/Booth+banner.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>

This conference's theme was "Let Your Light So Shine." (Matthew 5:6) We can be a light to others through sharing our testimony of Christ with others. Through our missionary work, we are answering other peoples' prayers and the Lord will answer ours. We need to reflect HIS light to the world. <br />
