Being Transferred!

Excerpts from Kyler's emails from his Mom:
10/26/09

Elder Hinton has been in Livingston for many months now and just got a transfer, he is in Billings for a few days waiting to be sent to Wolf Point, MT on Wednesday the 28th. This is on the Ft. Peck Indian Reservation. His Grandma and Grandpa Hinton had served a mission here, teaching Seminary on the Reservation. I told Kyler that they probably requested from heaven for him to be sent there! He says that he hears you can get snowed in for weeks at Wolf Point and that it gets like 60 below.

He has been working hard in Livingston, but no recent baptisms there! He is now a District Leader. He has been having some ingrown toenail trouble also. He had 2 cut out prior to leaving on his mission, but got another one many months ago and has been struggling with it, and finally had it cut out, then they waited for the infection to go away and did a permanent procedure on it just recently. So he was complaining that he wouldn't be able to play basketball today on his pday because of the toe!

He just had Elder Condie from the Seventy there last weekend and here is an excerpt from the email about that: Elder Condie from the seventy..... was at billings stake conference and had Sister Lingmann come up and tell a nonmember what missionaries did and committed him to baptism and after Elder Condie talked him into committing...this man has been coming to church for 7 years, they taught all 4 lessons at the mission home last night and baptized him and Elder Condie confirmed him...way cool experience....

Well that is the scoop for now on Elder Hinton, he did mail us home a black cowboy hat that he bought as a souvenir for himself. I guess he is going to be a cowboy when he comes home!

Funny Story

Elder Hinton hasn't sent a real letter for awhile, he has just been answering questions on email, but here is a funny excerpt from an email:
