So life is going pretty good... 4 months left woooohooo.... I gues I will type a quick letter since I've been hounded by both mom and dad now.... We had a pretty stellar week... I'm loving serving in Blue Creek.... this area has really suffered since I last left.... they just haven't had missionaries who have wanted to do anything so that's part of the reason I got sent back here.... Since I got here I picked it up from 1 lesson a week that they were teaching to since I got here 20+ weekly which is way sweet... We are seeing lots of great things happening.... We have a really solid lady named Denise Moore.... We have just finished teaching the lessons to her and are hoping to get a specific date set on Thursday.... We have a few more that we are working with also that are pretty close to baptism... We had 3 investigators come to church... We hace also been working with the less actives around here also... We have had a lot of less actives that have come to church since I've come back here too.... We hace a 9 year old who will be baptized as soon as we finish the last lesson with him they want to set a daye when their whole family can come though we may have to wait a few weeks.... There is a member who just moved into the ward who served his mission in Taiwan and went back there for school and married a native there.... So a couple nights ago they made us Taiwanese food it was good.... very spicy!!!... We have been helping people move like mad men.... It is insane how busy we have been.... Since the begining of this transfer 2 weeks ago I think we've helped 8 people move.... Flippen Insane haha.... It has been pretty cool to rebuild the trust of the ward since I've been back... Since the ward didn't really have the best trust of the missionaries. We now have dinners every single night... The bishop gives us the names of 5 people every week to go visit and we go contact and teach all 5 the same day... It is way sweet.... We also have weekly teamups with the ward every Thursday night and that helps the work tremendously.... So they were switching around the car shares and they shorted us hardcore with miles.... So I drive into the mission home and talk to Pres about about this and we are having a discussion with the assistants and they are defending what they did and all the sudden they are like hey we have an appointment we have to go end of story... So they leave and President says he hold on a second to me... Comes back out with keys and gives me my own car and tells me not to worry about miles muahahahahahahaa... life is going great.... Elder Harman is the bomb he is from Maryland.... way cool kid.... Any other questions? Hope this is good enough for the blog =)

A note from Kyler's mom:
Elder Hinton hasn't sent us a letter for awhile, he and I e-mail back and forth on P-day, but he used to send us some mail letters too, but he's been slacking lately, so I thought I would type up a little update about him! He absolutely loved his time in Wolf Pointe, and would have been happy about finishing his mission there, but he has been transferred back to Billings and is serving in the same Ward he was in while he was serving as and office Elder in Billings. Right before he left WP we recieved a letter from a sweet Indian lady, Sis. Pilgrim. She also knew Grandma and Grandpa Hinton when they served there. She sang praises of Kyler and the kind of missionary he was. She also said he was the only missionary who would turn off the lights of the church building after they had meetings there! She is concerned about wasting the Church's money and said the missionaries were leaving the lights on. It was a fun letter to recieve. But he is doing great in Billings! He has a couple of investigators that he is close to committing to baptism. So he hope it works out for them. Mark got a call during Spring Break from a Sis. Shepherd who is the RS president in Billings, She was passing through AZ and gave us a call. She was also impressed with Kyler and told how he is always prepared with info and plans at PEC which I guess it is something the missionaries hadn't done. Then I recieved a call Friday night before Conference from a Brother Pollick who is a former Bishopric member in Billings and had just fed the missionaries dinner that night and just wanted to call and tell us what a great job our son was doing. He said the entire ward was ecstatic to get him back there again. OK, so I think I have bragged enough about our missionary, we can't wait to talk to him next month!
