Cari tutti!

    

       Well, this sadly may be the last email I send home =( being the last email I also have no idea what to write haha because in the end I can just tell you all this stuff in like a couple days. I can't wait to see all you guys. You have no idea how much I've missed you all. If I cry like a baby at the airport its not because I'll be sad but probably the extreme emotions mixed with extreme tiredness will create the perfect combination for an emotional meltdown haha (I'm pretty sure I inherited this from you mom). I promise to hug and kiss everyone too. (haha, like he has a choice!) I'll be a good sport =) In Italia we kiss everyone, it's a way to salute people here. It will be weird re-adjusting to american culture where kissing someone can end up in a nasty court case. Dad told be that Taco Bell now makes Doritos taco shells =O yeah that got my mouth watering. 2 years of Pasta was great but I miss some good old fashioned tex-mex or even a nice Double Double from america's greatest fast food burger joint. Oh yeah! and Wahoo's enchiladas!! Snap =P now I'm trunky. Still got another week... can't think too much about this stuff.

       So things in Pescara are going well. No baptisms in the near future but still holding in there to the last minute. English course EXPLODED and now there are like a million people there. My companion gets a little stressed and overwhelmed but I love it. I'm gonna miss Italy and I'm gonna miss being a missionary =( I know that we are missionaries our whole lives but it won't be the same. I'll try and spend a lot of time with the missionaries back home so I don't get lazy. I'm gonna help Mike get all super awesome as a missionary too so that when he gets out there he'll be ready to teach all of Britain. Anziano Fossa, in the other companionship here in Pescara, his cousin is going to the Leeds England mission the same day as Mike! Crazy huh? So he will have an Italian sister in the MTC with him. It's a small world. Also the fact that Ben will also be going to Leeds.(Ben McKeon from our ward has also been called to the Leeds England Mission)  This stuff is all nutz.

        Well I'll see you all real soon. Have a great week and vi voglio bene!

Hello,
     
            Well I don't know really what to write. I think I might just tell you guys everything in 2 weeks or so haha. I've been pretty sick too this week, just like Mike, so it’s not just over there but everywhere. Anziano Alessandro was sick last week and everybody in Pescara seems to be sick too. Church mailed me some travel plans to confirm and everything looks legit. 4:30 LAX, Let’s not make too big of a scene okay? I'm pretty sure I'm gonna be tired as heck getting off that plane and  having to hug and kiss a million people may be overwhelming haha. (I told Kyle, too bad) I'm all alone on my flight too, no missionary buddies for 11 and a half hours. Oh well. Today we are gonna play some soccer and stuff. It's gonna be way fun. 
            Way to go mom on fighting the system however your actions seemed very liberal. Cutting government spending has always been an ideal of ours. Firing music teachers doesn't mean cutting the music program, it’s still there.(Kristin and I both spoke to our Elementary School Board trying to save a music teacher position) But okay. I don't want you to get all heated about this. Way to go also to Kristin on her award winning awesomeness.(She was awarded most outstanding at the Jr High District Honor Band Concert) She is our last hope for academic success in high school. Maybe you will get someone out to Harvard eventually. 
             The work is going a little slow here my last transfer for reasons I'll explain to you some details though after getting home.  One last thing, does dad have enough free airline miles to get me back here to Italy some day? I made a lot of friends here and saying goodbye is hard. I have a ton of ex-companions too from all of Italy who want me to visit after the mission.  Just something to think about. I am gonna miss this place so much. I love it. I know Dad says I can't marry an italiana but I might just do it and use it as an excuse to travel back here every once in a while =) hahaha. Just teasing. 
             I love and miss you all. I can't wait to see you all in a bit. 2 years is a LONGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG time. Someone was asking me about Catania the other day and I said "I can't remember everything! That was 2 years ago!!" haha. Have a great week and VI VOGLIO BENE!
             Con Amore,   Anziano Kyle Hill

Ciao!

        Okay well this week I have like 30 seconds to write you guys.  I’m sorry. We have this guy bringing new furniture to our house and he came like 5 hours late and now I have to leave for L'aquila in an hour. I'm having a great week and can't wait to see you all in a couple weeks I hope you are all doing well and having fun. I miss and love every one of you. Say hi to Javan Hatch for me. Glad to hear he’s back in one piece.  I got a ton of letters from Peter this week and the Primary. Thank them all or I can do it in 3 weeks if you forget. Tell peter he’s forgiven for waiting so long to send me those letters and that I do know how to make amazing pizzas. Vi voglio bene!!

Ciao tutti,

          Well I don't have much time to write you all this week and I'm really sorry.  I hope all is well back home. I really enjoyed your email mom and glad to know you guys are helping me out with looking for work, that takes a big burden off my back.  I've been offered work here in Pescara haha, but I don't know how much I want that. I am totally down for an epic brother bonding car trip to go pick mike up from school mid April.  I can stop by Provo too and say hi to Trav and my friends up there. I miss you all and hope you all are having a great week. I am having a lot of fun here and really enjoying my last transfer. Work is going well. Had a show down with a born again Christian the other day who literally exhausted my spirituality.  No spirit, no good, wasted time. Bashing solves nothing. That’s about it for now. I miss and love you all. I hope you are having a good time back home. Be excellent to each-other and party on dudes!
