Ping-Pong King

Hey,

Fetch i am so glad that that package made it. The other one should be on the way and will probably be there this week some time. I didnt think that other one would make it though. Did you give the right ties to grandpa staheli and hukill? The red was for grandpa hukill and blue for staheli. Haha i am glad that you got a laugh out of the fox fur. Haha Merry Christmas early. The ladies here still wear fox that it is hot. They all have big fur coats and stuff like that. So enjoy. Dad your stuff is coming soon. They are bringing packages this week. So fear not. I dont think i am going to open them though but i will on Christmas. Our land lady is making us Christmas Eve dinner and we are just going to hang out with the other Elders. Nothing to exciting though. New Years is the big holiday here for them. We dont eat very often and members but when we do its is either borscht or sandwiches. And the sandwichs here dont have a top. Its just bread and meat. And the drink is this nasty fruit stuff that i dont like called compote but i choke it down anyways. Haha I am so glad that you got to talk to Sister Bennington and hopefully you get to meet her. She is way awesome. Haha i am suprised that she didnt lose the number that i gave her to call you guys. Who is Sam Bradford? So much for the big thing of Tebow winning it last year as a sophmore. Who won the world series? That is awesome Tyson had his interview. I completely understand about things not moving as fast as you would like them. That is definetly one thing that i have learned since being here. Be careful with the money. Everyone here is like freaking out because of the "crash" or whatever happend. I figure it wasnt that big of a deal because you have said anything about it. I set up a Skype account but maybe it didnt work because it was in Russian. I found Lyndsi on it though and sent her a little message. We will probably call about 8 in the morning your time. That is 5 PM here. Yes i can get a web cam and all of that so it wont be to big of a deal. One of the Elders in our District knows alot about that stuff so it will be all good. Haha that is funny what Grandpa Hukill said about Fetch. That is like my favorite word. Haha tell him i still think about the time me and him went and got my car inspected at that shady place on Bluff. It has been about 30 degrees the last couple of days in the afternoon so it is cold now. We met these chinese people here that spoke a little english so we got there number and had a lesson with them. We watched a movie in chinese with them. Haha i would have never have guessed to watch a movie in chinese on my mission. They were so cool though. I will try to send pictures today. Our branch has a Ping Pong table (and by the way i fetching destroy at Ping Pong now haha not to be cocky but i cant wait to play you all when i get back) but we played them and they were amazing. Typical chinese sterotype. They were good. But then we met them again because they were going back to china and i gave them some of those cheap CTR rings i bought in the MTC and they loved them. The were so cool. No wonder China has more Baptisms then Europe. They also had no idea though who Jesus Christ was. Anyways everything is going good hear and i love you guys. BoBa is back on date for Jan 4. Hope all is well. And its about time stuff with the franchise goes anywhere. Love you.Elder Hukill

FETCH

Hey,

Haha Braxten is so fetching lucky to have Papa Johns. Fetch that would be awesome to have something like that. The pizza here isnt bad but its definately not Papa Johns. That is crazy Utah is playing Alabama. Best of Luck to them. Haha. I found out that i am NOT getting transfered yet. So that means i have another 6 weeks here and another 6 weeks to baptize BoBa. I am glad that i get to stay for one more but i think after this next one i will be ready to leave here. The Russian is coming along well. I can talk to people and have conversations. But sometimes i have no idea what the fetch they are saying. Only the Sisters have Cell phones but we have home phones that they call if we are getting transfered. I was pretty nervous but its alright. That is funny that 2 people called for me last week. Just so you know i am probably going to pull off alot of money here soon because the exchange rate is so high. Its almost 8 for 1 so yea just so you know. And also if you could tell me excatly how much is in there that would also be helpful. Is Zach really going back for a girl? We could do that just so you know. I come home then we can come back later. Thats good that packages are there but i wonder when i will get them. Oh well. I hope that the package i sent last week gets there. So i will set up a skype thing so i hope you all have done that too. I guess i get one trial call so we will see. The food here though is pretty much normal because we make our own food. Haha but sometimes we eat with members and it is a little strange. I dont really like the drinks that they give us. That is crazy that (mom) your roommates sons companion is Mack. Haha i wonder how Mack is doing. That is so crazy that their mission president is so strict. Thats good though. If i have am a mission president thats what i would do. Haha that is funny about Makenna saying bad things. (Fetch that was scary my computer just turned off and i thought i lost this email Haha i had to go talk to the guy and i didnt know how to explain it to him. But i got it) Anyways My companion and i have already figured out christmas so we will have fun here. I can remember if i said it was warm here last week but it was. It felt like St. George. I was sweating alot when we would get home and just have to take off all of my stuff as fast as i could. But yea today its cold and it rained all day yesterday. Haha it was nice while it lasted. I finished Great Grandpa's journal and it was awesome. Learned alot about him and about grandpa. Well i love you and will talk to you later. Thanks for everything.Elder Hukill
