Hey,
Well I survived another week here in my beloved Ukraine. I seriously love this place so much even though sometimes it sucks. :) Sorry had to say that word. But i am glad that the package made it to you. It got there pretty fast i think. Haha it is always good to go with a ukranian to a post office here. The good thing about here is that there are no gnats haha. That is cool that Kent got married. Tell him i say good job. Glad that the CD made it though. I dont know how many pictures on there are of me but Elder Carter said he put alot on of Zap so you can at least see it. Haha and the thing of me and the kids Shoulders is us being Goliath. I am just saying that i want to eat food. That is cool that Kipp is going on a mission though. Love that kid. I am getting better at writing in my journal. Almost every night. Odessa is right by Nikolaev so i know where it is but thanks anyways. :)Thats good about work being so good for you. . Elder Murray and i saw this guy getting the crap kicked out of him the other day and that was fetching nuts. It was quite a bit a ways from us but it was crazy. We like didnt know what to do. Crazy though. Nothing really else has happend around here though lately. Our investigator is still smoking so she cant get baptized yet but we are still working with her. WE played soccer against some kids last week and we beat them so that was good. Haha it is pretty frustrating though because none of the other elders have ever played before but we still won. The sisters are still going crazy well one is. She is so fetching annoying. Haha we did go bowling with them today so that was good i guess :). Vatalee is still awesome. Haha good luck with the people calling like they said they would. Haha if all the people said they would come to church or english then i would be teaching everyday all day. Prayer is definetly the key to a good day. My companion and i have some pretty funny prayers at nights that i am sure Heavenly Father laughs with us. Everything is going good though for me. Ukraine is sweet. Love you guys.Thanks for the sports update. Always good to get.Elder Hukill

Hey,
Well its been a while since we have talked. Haha nothing new has gone on since yesterday especially since today is Preparation Day. We went and ate pizza which is really different from american pizza and definelty isnt Papa Johns in Peru. Good to get a good sports up date. I cant believe that Favre still wants to play. Haha that is cool though i guess. Old man still has it i guess. That is crazy about that kid making more money than Tom Brady. How is his knee? I forgot you were building a shed and stuff. Haha i cant believe Max is no longer alive. As soon as i asked i knew he had gotten hit. I think you should get another inside dog. Not a loud annoying one though. I dont remember Bill Fowler but tell him i say hello anyway. That is crazy that Bryan and Jani are moving back to St.George. When are they going to do that? Well i dont really know what else to say since you know everything that has happend lately. It was so crazy talking to you and seeing you. Haha i told the guy working at the internet club how i thought it was such a miracle to be able to do that. He just laughed and nodded his head. We are going to play sports today outside so that will be fun. Well love you. RIP Max.

Do You Want To Go Bowling with the Sisters?

Hey,
Happy Ukranian Labor Day last weekend. Haha i hope you enjoyed it The Skype thing i was talking about was putting money onto my skype account thing. I dont know how to do it but yea if you could do that i would appreciate it. Thanks for putting money into my other account. That is funny about Skylar doing that. Haha i hope that none of my friends change or go all weird after the mission. Haha i am not going to come back all weird and stuff so yea dont worry about that. It is weird to me that i will talk to you on sunday and probably will call actually tomorrow for the test call. So if you could put that money on the skype account today so i can call home or someone to tell them to get on skype so we can test it. Haha fetch that is so nuts. I am scared to call home. Haha oh well. Who is in the East in basketball? How is team Lebron doing? That is funny that lena found bree on facebook. She told me that she had found i think even Natalie but i dont know if she has talked to her. Technology is so crazy. The Zone Leader thing is going good. I gave my talk about being a good example and then talked about teaching examples from the book of mormon. Thanks for the email from Coach Miller. I just emailed him back. The word of wisdom is probably the hardest for the to live. They are just so used to smoking and drinking. Haha the other day we were over at her house and we stole her cigarettes going out the door. It was funny. Also we drank some nasty gas/mineral water. It is so nasty. It tasted like salt water that was carbonated. So gross. Tithing is hard though as well because they dont have a lot of money so yea its hard. I talked to the sisters on the phone last night for like an hour and they were going crazy. Like seriously i didnt think there would be such girl probablys on my mission. They are mad because nobody wanted to go bowling with them and then they just went off about other things. Haha all in russian too. It was nuts but i think we solved it. Everything is going good though. I will talk to you sometimes this week and defintely on sunday. On sunday i will call at about 5 PM here but i am not sure what time that is there. Well hope all is well. Talk to you tomorrow or sometime. Love you.Elder Hukill

Fetch, I Didn't Want You to Know
04/27/2009
Hey,
Well another week has come and gone here and nothing to exciting really. We had Zone Conference last week so that was good. And yes i am a zone leader here. Fetch i didnt want you to know that is why i didnt tell you. Haha i didnt think President would tell you though. The reason though i didnt want you to know is because people seem to base the success of a missionary by baptisms and leadership positions. And i dont want people to think i am a good missionary just because i am a Zone Leader. But yea i am and i was pretty surprised about it because i havent even been out for a year and the rest of the Zone Leaders are getting ready to go home. All a Zone Leader does is the other companionships report to the district leader then the district leader calls the Zone Leader and then once a week i talk to the APs about what is going on in the zone. Just little things like that. Its not that cool. But my companion is still younger than me though so i am glad about that. I had a to give a talk in Zone Conference and that went well i guess. I just made things up like usual off the top of my head. Well i had some notes but nothing concrete or however you spell that. I had to translate for President Abraham last week as well on an interview and that was probably the scariest thing of my mission. Went well but still scary. Dennis has been around for a while. We started working with him like 3 months ago and have been slaying him. He is going to America in 2 weeks though. He is so cool though. He lives with his mom and grandparents though but he is really well off. One of the richer ukranians i know. We will still Skype though. This time i think without the camera though. I dont know though. My companions internet doesnt work at home so he is going to call from my account. So yea if you could put money on it i would appreciate it. Tell Grandma Staheli thanks for the package. Elder Sessions is from North Ogden. My shoes are doing good though. I have been wearing one pair ever since i got into country so i can save the others. Do you know if there is a guarantee if the inside of the shoe goes bad? We taught this lady the word of wisdom last week who has been smoking for 28 years so that is going to be hard for her to quit. That is the only thing though holding her back from baptism though. The weather today though is warm so that is good. We have our windows open trying to warm our apartment up. But yea nothing to cool going on like i said. Hope everything is going well for you.
Love you.Elder Hukill

Like Seriously I Wanted to Puke!!
04/20/2009
Hey,
Well its monday again and a little bit later than normal. We had a lesson todays and so we didnt get a chance to email until now but i sent some pictures so yea hope you liked those. My trainers name is mitchell sessions so he is home and such so hopefully he calls sometime. Yea the youth thing is getting better. Every once in a while we met some really cool kids that make the rest of the bad ones go away. Its like that alot giving at stuff though to. Some days people are fetching mean but then one person is really nice and takes a book or something and its makes up for the rest. I just try to do my best and not worry about it. . Tell Grandma Staheli i got the package and thank her with a hug for me. It was great. That is good Jared is finishing his eagle. Tell Jani hello for me. Those GI Joe things are way sweet. I remember playing with those things with like Josh Mangold and Kolton and Braxten. So i have a new companion though. His name is Elder Murray from Flordia. He was in my district the last two transfers but now he is my companion and so i am the senior companion though. So i am pretty scared about that but whatever. The only thing i am scared about is the language. Yesterday was Easter here so there were alot of people outside. Nobody really wanted to talk to us though. We saw a fight so that was nuts. Good not to be in it. But people go around and say "Jesus is Resurrected" And to reply you say "He really was" So that was pretty fun to do that. People are just crazy though. Go Penguins! The picture with me and the other two kids is my new companion and one of our investigators named dennis. We went and ate at his house today and stuffed us with food. Seriously Ukranians think it is so funny to make us full and sick. Like seriously i wanted to puke. But at least its good. Nothing else really exciting has gone on though lately. The english thing where we passed out like 3000 english invites pretty much failed. We had like 10 people come and sign up. But whatever. You can only do so much. Well hope everything is going well and sorry this is late. Hope you werent freaking out about it. :)
See ya. Love you.Elder Hukill
