Dear Family,
What is happening in Gilbert? Power Road all nice yet? So I went sheep sampling with a member and we will be shearing them completely in another 3 weeks. But it took our whole afternoon, grabbing a fistful of fur per sheep, recording their numbers and sorting them, we sampled 300 sheep and geez they are the most stupid animals. Church on Sunday was long, we went straight from 8 am until 4:30 pm with no breaks because of meetings. That wears you out more than a full day of proselyting. We have a ton of people about ready to be baptized this month. We are shooting for 4 in Jan. and 4 in Feb. This month we have a lady who went to church every summer when she lived with a friend, she is taking the discussions and wants to be baptized so we are hopefully going to set a date with her tonight, her son is 12 and will be baptized also. We then have a Spanish mother and daughter who want to set a date. Their names are Argentina (the mom) and Kenya (the daughter). Kinda funny, they are countries. Ha ha But ya the city is sweet, tons of people to teach. I met Sis Florence yesterday at district meeting, turns out she is in my zone and meets in the same building for district meeting, we may even be taking her and her companion to a lesson with us because her companion speaks Spanish. She said that Jana was her best friend growing up. Hiked the big M today, Kari got the story, your gonna have to ask her about it!
Love, Elder Hinton
