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!
