Hey,
Well it was conference weekend here and it was really good. I think it was the first time my entire life i have watched all 10 hours of conference. Haha and now i know why. Just kidding. It was really good. We got to watch it in English as well so that was really good. All of the talks slayed. (slayed means really good). There were alot of talks about temples and how important they were. Also they seemed to stress the eternal aspect of this life. Priesthood Session was amazing. I also liked how when they sang we thank thee oh God for a prophet the showed pictures of President Monson. It was really good. Sounds the picnic was good like usual. Way to win in football. Last week we didnt go to the island. We played football against the other elders and we won in that but we lost in frisbee. So today we are having a rematch against them. The weather here is pretty warm now but they turned off the heat to our apartment so it is colder in there than it is outside. The winter wasnt nearly as cold as i thought it would be. At least for me. I got lucky and was in the south of the country for most of the winter so it wasnt to bad for me at all. But the other parts of the country seem really cold. There were two baptisms here on friday so that was awesome to see. Transfers are this week and my companion is getting transfered. I am pretty sure i know what is going on with me but i dont want to say and be wrong. So ill tell you next week. Haha transfers are just like a big games trying to figure everything out. Good times. Who won basketball? That is still so weird that "Luke" wants to be called Luke. Oh well. Doesnt bother me. And Easter here is a huge holiday. It is this sunday. And everyone here is provaslovknee which is a break off from the catholics so they go crazy for it. Nothing really exciting has been going on here though. The teenagers still make me mad because they are so worthless. WE were walking home the other night when some kids just threw their cigarettes at us. I wanted to go kick the crap out of them but we just kept walking. They are so gay. Haha anyways after that though my trainer called to tell me goodbye because he was going home today so that made me feel alot better to talk to him. I told him to call you and tell you when his homecoming is so hopefully he does. We have been trying this new english thing where we hand out thousands of invitations and then we have a registration for it but so far only 3 people have come for it and we only have 2 more days left of registration. So hopefully tons will come. Getting to the island though doesnt take a boat. There are bridges but it takes us like 30 minutes to get there because its far from our area. But it was way sweet. Yea people not showing up for lessons is really annoying. What kind of questions did those people ask the ambassador? I guess ukraine is number 3 on the financal support from America. Israel and Egypt are above Ukraine. Well everything is going well here except for the kids making me mad but ill get over it. Haha. Love you and hope everything goes well for you.

GENERAL CONFERENCE?
04/06/2009
Hey,
Haha well at least this time i knew that it was actually general conference and i didnt get surprised like i did last time. I think we are watching them next week. I wish though we could watch it at our apartment haha. I have heard about that forever strong show. Elder Stilson my last companion was actually in it somewhere. He was one of the players. So he would tell me about it and i would just make fun of him. Haha. Transfer calls are this week so we will see what happens with what. We went to the island again this week for a youth activity and it was pretty sweet. Elder Steadman and i have a Algerian friend that we took with us so it was cool. We cant teach him though because he is Muslim and is from a muslim country. But oh well. I think there are going to be 2 baptisms this weekend so that is always good. One of them i talked to her and set the lesson up with her but the other elders taught her so its cool. I guess that assist is as good as scoring right? Good to get a sports update. Keeps the world going round. Nothing to exciting though went on last week. 4 of our lessons last week the people didnt know up. That is like the worst because its throws off the rest of the day. Haha you go from having a lesson to street contacting for 2 hours. But whatever. Some weeks we have alot of lessons and others not so many. More lessons here then there were in Nikolaev. So we passed out a lot of english so hopefully we get a ton of people coming to it.The teenagers here continue to annoy me and almost started something with Elder Steadman yesterday. They are so worthless. It was 4 in the afternoon and were already drunk. We see people drinking at like 9 in the morning sometimes. Such a waste of life. We are going back to the island today with just the missionaries and are going to play sports and stuff and just chill. It will be cool so i am excited for that. Sounds like everything is going good back home. See ya later. Love you.

ROUS
03/30/09
Hey,
I cant believe that it is almost April. That is so crazy to me. Haha and yesterday was Day Light Savings here so now its lighter at nights which is awesome. In winter it would get dark here at like 3:30. Good job in finishing the book. Its a tough one. I have read the first 3 chapters of the one by Elder Maxwell but my head hurt after it hah. So good luck. The book i want is Modern Russian. I dont have it. I dont know what book you are talking about that you sent to me. I have only gotten the dicttionary which is amazing so thanks again for it. The island is just a place where the ancient ukrainians used to have their base or something like that. I am not exactly sure but its probably about the only touristy thing in the city. We went there because he wanted to cook us chicken over a fire and just to hang out. It was fun. Tht is funny about Makenna going to the temple with prince eric. Of course i remember what ROUS stands for. Rodents Of Unusual Size. We were just quoting that movie the other day. I didnt know you were putting a shed in. Thats cool. Wait is there no more sod? Is it just Hay now? I got that package of food last week and it was awesome so thanks for that and the pictures. The people here are nicer and will talk with you but the people in nikolaev are just cool. Vitalee is awesome. So Elder Murray and i were on exchanges last week and we went to a university to go talk to an english class and we walked in to the building and i felt like i was in high school again. Haha and all the girls were just staring at us when we first walked into the class room. It was really fun. I met a black guy yesterday from sudan here. He was probably the darkest person i have ever seen my entire like. No joke either. Yes i have been to McDonalds here. Only 2 times though. Well hope all is well for you. Until next week. Love you.Elder Hukill

PEEING OF THE BIGGEST BRIDGE
3/23/09
Hey,
Well another week gone by. Today was really fun for our p-day we went to the island and one of our investigators who is 18 cooked us some amazing chicken over a fire and such. It was so fun and tasty. Haha everyone almost died though i swear it was so funny. Haha we peed off of the biggest bridge though. It was awesome. Thats to bad about Utah State losing by one. My comp loves Utah State. Haha that is way cool about Makenna skiing. But why skiing? You should just start her off on a snowboard. She would probably go pro if she did that. :) Good to hear that she didnt cry when she face planted it. So we went to this English class at a university and there were only 7 girls in the class with the teacher. They were like what kind of girls do you like and asked if we drank and stuff. Haha we just pulled out our pictures and said we like girls like this who dont drink. Haha shut them up pretty quick. The APs were down here and they said that President made some kind of mistake with me so i dont know what that means or whatever but hopefully i will still go senior. If not then oh well. There are 2 branches here. The city is divided by a river so 4 elders in ours and 4 in theres. And the Sisters and Carters go back and forth.I think my companion is leaving though because this is his 4th transfer here in Zap. We played american football in a park by a walk way and people were just standing and watching us. It was funny because they had never seen anything like it before. We talked to this one really nice lady who said she would come to church but then again they all say they will do that. . Well nothing to exciting to report on. I am almost done with my first journal though so mom you should be proud. I try to write two times a week. I was reading when i was in the MTC last night and i was seriosly laughing out loud. I was so cheesy. I gave a member jesus the christ and he said his wife would translate it for him. I just laughed and told him good luck. I didnt even understand that thing. I also translated for the first time at church for the Carters. It was so hard because i would translate one thought the person said but during the time of saying it to them the person would start on a new one so i would miss like half of it. Haha russian is so fetching hard but i love it. Its crazy to hear myself speak it sometimes. Well i hope all is well for you. Love you guys. See ya.Elder Hukill
