My wonderful friends and family:
As most of you know, I have been called as a missionary for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, and my assignment is in the Sweden Stockholm Mission. This Wednesday (the 28th), I will enter the Missionary Training Center in Provo, UT where I will spend the next 9 weeks learning the Swedish language. On September 27, I will fly from Utah to Stockholm and there endeavor to bring people to the gospel of Jesus Christ. I will return from this work 18 months from now in February 2012.
I will miss you, and would love to hear from you. I will not have access to facebook, instant messaging, phones, or any other electronic contact during this time, and emails are reserved only for my immediate family. This is to prevent me from becoming distracted from my work as a missionary. Thus my only real form of contact will be through actual mail.
If you would like to send me letters or packages (which I will be thrilled to receive), my address from July 28-September 27 will be:
Sister Hillary Megan Kiser
MTC Mailbox #201
SWE-STO 0928
2005 N 900 E
Provo, UT 84604-1793
After September 27th, my address will change every 6 weeks as I move around all over Sweden. You can send letters to the mission office, which will then pass them on to me. My mission office address will be:
Sister Hillary Megan Kiser
Sweden Stockholm Mission
PO Box 2087
SE- 183 02 Taby
Sweden
On this blog that my family will (hopefully) post my weekly letters home and maintain my most recently updated address. This will get letters to me a little faster, but you'll have to be careful to be sure my address won't change before your letter arrives. I won't receive my first residential address until I arrive in Sweden. Please understand that missionaries are kept extremely busy and I will be given only one day a week for shopping, errands, letter writing, and all other extra activities. This means my correspondence will probably be slow, but I do promise to answer every letter I receive.
I love you all, and hope the next year and a half of your lives will be productive and happy. I know mine will be.
Love,
Sister Hillary Kiser
