Dear Family,
How is Arizona? How is school going for Kasey and Kurtis? Every week we seem to be able to teach more and more people. We’ve done team ups with the missionaries in Dillon, MT. Since we bummed a ride from a member in Sheridan, we spent a day there and then bummed a ride with a member from the Dillon Ward to Butte for district Meeting. The Assistants to the Pres. were there since they were doing team ups with the Zone Leaders and President came and conducted interviews. We then ate at Silverbow Pizza Buffet and then the Zone leaders took us back to Sheridan and went on team ups with us yesterday and have spent today with us e-mailing and playing games. We have had a pretty busy week. We taught 12 lessons and have one person picking a date for baptism. We do a lot of tracting and still have no miles left to use on our car. So it’s a pain but we get by. President Fisher during District Meeting told us to find a family to teach, he said finding individuals are great but we need strong families, so that is the goal for the last 1 ½ weeks of the transfer. It’s getting quite cold and the trench coat, gloves, and beanie work great. Hey only about 22 months left, I am almost there. Tonight after dinner we are headed to the Church for a pie and ice cream social hopefully investigators will come since we invited them. Elder Hansen pooped out and doesn’t want to play basketball today.. geez. So by the time you get this letter you should have already sent off my package with goodies and stamps, right?? So what is going on for Thanksgiving? You might have to cut down how many potatoes you cook haha.
It is so weird actually being out here on a mission. It was always so far away and now I’m thrown into it. That’s crazy. How are Chris and Carter and Ryan doing? You need to ask Jarom Taylor if he knows an Elder Meyers who served in Wellington. He says he came home with Jarom Elder Meyers is going to take us out to lunch. Yay! I am supposed to tell you thanks Mom for making me paint all those times since Sister Rash really appreciated me painting her whole office including the ceiling and since Elder Hansen didn’t really have a clue about painting. Had to have someone do it right!
We seem to tract into a lot of theologists who spout a lot of stuff off and then can’t back it up. It is hilarious to see them stumble over the things we tell them. We went to this old couples house who are members for dinner. They picked us up and drove us to Alder and kept us there for nearly 2 hours. They hadn’t started making dinner until we got there and we got to hear Br. Stocker yodel through I believe 19 country western songs. Death was imminent haha. But I made it through.
How are things back home? I’ve always thought about how different life will be when I get home from these 2 years. I will probably still be that loud crazy guy I was when I left but I don’t know. Well have a great week.
Love, Elder Hinton
