(Letter from e-mail)

Dear Family,
We have finally got the work here progressing tracting is fun because its fun hearing some of the rejections that some of these whackos have to say it cracks me up. My trainer drives but like on team ups only me and him are allowed to drive our assigned car so i just call and get driving privileges. We are starting to teach alot more lessons and we aren't as lost as we have been. Still no new investigators but i think we have 3-4 that may become investigators so we are working it. We get fed every night but tonight we aren't because we wanted more time for P-day so im going to cook some spaghetti tonight. Otherwise we have alot of cold cereal and ramen for Lunch yay. We actually have 2 homes we stay in. The bottom of the jensens store but on the weekends when we drive to Whitehall to save on miles we stay with Bishop Moulton in his basement. I ate at some Davis' last night and they said their daughter lives in Hurricane Utah haha who would ever live there?????? lol haha. So what is going on around the house. Im just freezing here. the weather is so sporadic. oh and u may have to send some smaller clothes eventually since my abs are turning into rock hard steel plated abs of madness from doing sit ups all morning all lunch and all night muahahaha. Peace i am going now to completely dominate this companion of mine who thinks he knows how to shoot a basketball. dont worry i have a cell phone i can call the paramedics. Peace. Oh how are the other missionaries doing? I will write letters later today. Oh and tell The Heningers thanks for the Halloween candy i will write them a letter today anyways but u know us missionaries are always starving so anything is amazing haha. cya Elder Kyler Wayne Hinton who Montana probably already wishes he was gone haha jk I had a guy tell me he thought i was the senior companion because i can talk to
people so well. I told him if he could of only seen me at home muahahahah peace
Love, Elder Hinton

Dear Family

What is happening? So here in Sheridan we are working and trying to find all the people we can. There are a lot of religions in this tiny town. Like 75-80% of the Ward is less active which is utterly pathetic. Everyone we talk to has their reason for being offended. I’m like GO and read David A. Bednar’s talk on not being offended. If you know the Church is true does it really matter that you don’t like a specific person? Geez its just an excuse. We also run into a lot of people who say some crazy things that contradict themselves. Its hilarious. Cracks me up. But yeah we don’t drive if we don’t have to. We usually drive to the town we proselyte in then walk from there. We also drive to get cell service at night to make phone calls. The mission tour was was good. James M. Dunn talked on being exactly honest, obedient and all that stuff, it was long and good. We went to Helena for it. We drive to Butte every Tuesday for District Meeting. It only has like 8 people. Elder Hansen is cool and knowledgeable but can’t keep up with my spunk. Haha But he is a good trainer. It’s hunting season now so we see more deer than ever on the roads. I watched the car in front of us completely demolish a deer. They know they can’t get shot in town is why there are so many. This transfer is nearly half over then I will be getting a new companion since Elder Hansen is finished. He’s from Keller, Texas and I don’t believe he is related to any Hansen’s in our Ward. So how is the rest of the family doing? Have a great week.
Love, Elder Kyler Wayne Hinton
