Week 24 Letter from Elder Hills

Hi, family! 

This week was pretty crazy.  I went on exchanges with an Elder that has some serious obedience issues the other day and it was a long day. I survived, though! It's so warm here-it's 47 outside right now, but it's pretty windy, so it feels colder than it is. I am hoping that it slows down a little, because I found some SICK dirt jumps out here, way bigger than anything I've seen back home! I can't wait to ride!

The downside of today is that I am sick, and I can't even skip church or missionary work because it's a pday. I'm only missing out on things I want to do. It sucks. Last pday we got sweet flamingo shirts at Ross, so we wore them to Zone Pday. It was a lot of fun, I'll add a picture.

Another cool thing I'll add a picture of is a mini Charlie I found at a members house, except she's a girl. AND SUPER CUTE! Ellie will like that one. So why is Alannah arguing with her parents? I hope not because she's getting baptized. She's so ready! Look up "Conversion of a Catholic" and listen to that, I really enjoyed it.

Questions of the week:  
1.  How was your testimony about the Book Of Mormon Challenged? 
2.  Hows the bike?
3.  Any funny story's this week?
4.  Did you have a better week?
5.  Are you singing in the choir?
6.  Testimony building experience.  

OK- answers:
1: I think it's an excellent idea to read it in 63 days, it helped me out a lot! 
2: My bike is good, for now! There's a pretty cool little bike shop in town, and I'm friends with the guy now. He gives out free tubes to missionaries!
3: My companion bought a fixed gear bike, and we took the breaks off! It's so crazy, I kind of want one now!
4: I had a pretty good week, yeah.
5: Nope, that was a one time thing!
6: I got to talk to President about how to develop a testimony better, I learned to doubt my doubts before I doubt my testimony. It's great advice!

Thanks for the email!

Ellie: Oh charlie! Why are you such a turd! Look at this mini Charlie I found, her name is Tinkerbell. SO LITTLE!!!! Take some videos of your biking! I'll try to get one for you today! I am going to ride off some jumps. We found some people who are interested, they are pretty nice too! Love you Ellie!

Isabel: I Isabel! It's good to know that doing nothing is still in style, I miss it! How does it feel to know that you're almost done HS for good? It's coming sooner than you think, and to be honest I almost miss it... I've heard about that Percy Jackson series, it kind of looked like another try at making more money. I haven't read any of them though. Nice job on your timed write, those were always so hard for me! You definitely got the brains kid! Good luck with Doc this week!
