Week 9 Letter from Elder Hills

Hi everyone! Dang, I have a lot of questions to answer:

1: I miss home almost every day, I still don't really like CO.
2: My new area is pretty good for missionary work, there's a lot of humble people here.
3: Nope, still on bike.
4: I bought a nice lock and some lights, I heard bikes get stolen a lot here in Peoria.
5: He's alright, kind of impatient though. Maybe I'm just annoying though.
6: I don't know yet, I'll ask when I get to know people better.
7: I was hoping to buy a new set of black shoes that are a little less bulky.  The rules say something about bulky dress shoes. The ones I have that are thinner got kind of trashed when I went down on my bike, same as the slacks I had on. 
8: The biggest surprise was how hard it actually is to be out here, dang!
9: At home, I eat mostly soup and sometimes bread.
10: Yea, I put my bike in the apartment at night and lock it up during the day. I need to buy two new thorn tubes today! I popped both tires in the first day, crazy right?
11: It's been great to see how great of an effect the Book of Mormon has on people!  I love hearing about that.
12: I'm in the Peoria ward


I've been invited to Thanksgiving dinner by the Davis family.  It should be good (buy, I'd rather be eating the trash can turkey though, I miss those days-and your mashed potatoes are the best!!! Good times...).

What are the missionaries Emails that are there now? I have a referral for them, tell them to email me. I think the sisters would be better, but the elders would be fine, too. Whichever you thing are more mature is better, because this is really important to me.

Thanks a ton for the email, I miss you guys! 

Isabel: Dwayne Johnson? Blah, he's all 'roids! Whatever, that's pretty cool you guys got to go to the Fourniers! I miss those little guys so much! Did you get pictures? I didn't carve that pumpkin, I just saw it and liked it. But the rat dog is all real, her name is Zoe. How much cash did you make with babysitting? You must be making mad money now that you can drive places. How's the car by the way? Are the stickers still there? Love you!

Ellie: Hi Ellie! How was the Whitney family? Things are better, but still not super great. I'm getting there though, so don't worry about me. Could you tell Mr. Tsiastios that he needs to email me or I'll put a Mormon curse on him? Thanks Ellie, keep riding your bike! I love you!
