Dear Family,
So another transfer has come and gone.... Happened yesterday... The Lyon's Train as we call it.. .the big 15 passenger van pulling a trailer came through picking up Elder Clyde and dropping off Elder Thomas.... Elder Thomas is from Sacramento, California... He has been out 6 months... he came out with Elder Lanham who was my companion 2 transfers ago... Man time flies... I turn 20 in 4 days and hit my year mark in 7.... Holy cow I am an old fart.... Livingston is still awesome... it’s pretty out here.... we will probably go down to Yellowstone again in a week or 2 and stay in Mammoth again... that’s a fun trip and then we go to the Gardiner branch... it’s a nice little branch and they have a tiny building, it’s pretty sweet... We will probably make it out to Big Timber one of these weeks... I’ve been in Big Timber once but I have never had a chance to go to the branch. I hear they have a tiny building too... Hopefully we can get the work picked up even more than what it has been at.... 30 lessons a week just isn’t cutting it any more gonna shoot for at least 40... we can get it done... flip I’m Elder Flippen Hinton I get stuff done... So I’m still district leader here in Bozeman thats cool... Life is good.. I’m about to blink and I will be home drinking Dr. Pepper eating Chipotle burritos and chilling with my home dogs. Man won’t that be the life. Well I love u all hope u have a wonderful week

Dear Fam,
How the heck is everybody? How is the Ward back home? Everyone still kicking? My big 20th birthday along with the big 1 year is only a few days away. Holy cow if the second year goes faster than this year did, I will be home before I can count to 10. So how is the fam? Dad enjoying school/work? Mom enjoying preschool/this crazy new job? How about Kasey and Kurtis? How is high school treating them? How are my 2 sistas and their fams dong? Montana is as great as ever! I was kinda bummed… Neil L. Anderson came to the Stake Conference in Stevensville (which is next to Missoula) and all the missionaries close by got to meet with him. I guess I was privileged enough to be in the office when Dallin H. Oaks came through. But anyways I’m still kicking…Not looking forward to yet again another winter… but I shall survive. So I’m thinking of going on this big one year diet. But I don’t know if I’m really going to do it… we will see. Transfers are in 2 weeks. I hope I stay but we will see what happens. I will have to haul around that bike now if I move. Haha. So I heard Kurtis got a cell phone….DAD… say what????? You know my 2 cents I would add to that! Haha Well anyways no new baptismal dates yet. Still working my butt off trying to get people to commit. … you know I can be rather forceful! My District is doing awesome. Bozeman 2 and 3 wards last transfer were teaching 3-4 lessons a week and now they are reaching 15 each week.
It is awesome. Everything in Livingston is still green, which is way unusual but that is because the rain won’t let up. I her the big 70 mile and hour winds pick up in September/October. That will be interesting. This next week we may be in Big Timber for the weekend and go to Church there. Miles limit us to getting around to all these places. It is a possibility that I will in Billings on Wednesday to go to the Temple, so my email schedule may be a little outta whack. So I’ve pretty much been working my tail off like usual. That is so exciting Kevin is leaving on Wednesday. He is going to tear it up! So I am here to call you all to repentance (I can do that as a missionary) You better be sending me more letters and pictures. Especially since it is my birthday!! Ha Ha
Love you, Elder Hinton
P.S. Tell grams I appreciate the jerky! Tell Grandpa and Grandma that I love them!

Dear Fam,
Here you go Mommy Dearest……Thought I would finally write you a letter, today is the big 11 month mark. How cool is that? The big 1 year is pretty much here. I’m still 19, I’m in denial, as soon as I turn 20 next month I am an old man. So how is everyone doing? Kasey and Kurt doing well in school? Dad teaching going good? Kinsey and Robbie and kids still trucking? How about the WAX’s? Trent and Kari and the kids, Daisy, Trey and Ryyyyyyyland? I hope everyone is doing well. Well, life is great. Last week we were able to teach 33 discussions. Still rocking it! Tuesday I have another District meeting and then I am going on teamups all day long with the Bozeman Elders since they are in my District. So that will be fun. We will spend the night there and then stay the day in Bozeman for P-day! We don’t have any more baptismal dates as of yet. We had to drop a few people who just weren’t progressing. But we have this investigator we didn’t really know what to think of progression wise but he has come up to Church 2 weeks in a row and surprised us each week. (Digusting story next, ask Kathy for details if you want to be grossed out, but I’m not printing it!!!) Last weekend we went down to Gardiner Branch for Church. So we spent Saturday there in Gardiner, MT and Mammoth, WY which is in Yellowstone. I got to see the Hot Springs there. They are pretty neat looking. We stayed with a member inside the park. That was a lot of fun, too. We stayed in his ginormous house overlooking the Hot Springs. He is one of the Park Managers. So I talked a little about my interview with Pres. Gardner in my email. But as soon as I sat down he just went off for a long time about how when he was a kid he used to work behind a workhorse and the load they could carry was much greater than any other horse and they would exceed everyone else. He is like… you are the workhorse of the mission. You can carry the greatest burden and still exceed everybody else. It was really cool.
Well love you lots, Elder Hinton
