Hey,
That is so fetching crazy that Braxten is home. Haha what a Pimp. :) And just so you know it hasnt been a hard or distracting week. I really dont think about home and only thought about it once that he was home. Dont worry about me getting distracted or what not. I have more important things to think about. Is CJ bigger than braxten? Does he sound like a mexican when he speaks english? Everyone pees outside old young male female its all the same to them. Sounds like everyone is doing good back home. Haha that is funny that Paul said that and cool that Paul spoke. I am sure that Skylar didnt care and laughed about it. Was Lacey really there? They should have Dad speak for Braxtens. Yea i have a new companion and he is really cool. He graduated in 2009! Haha i feel like an old man. He played keeper at Hillcrest and my senior year we played against him. If you could find out who won that would be appreciated. I will be with him for Christmas. Elder Jesson is his name. Haha is probably took Chin 2 months to write that letter. Who is the Bishop? Will you find out when Dixie States summer school starts please? Nothing to exciting has gone on here for the most part. It was fun to be in Dnepr last week and see a bunch of my friends. For the package can you go buy a CTR ring size 5 1/2 called Forget me not. A member wants one here for his girlfriend. Haha sorry about all of the requests but everyone does appreciate them. Well sorry that this is so boring but everything is going well dont worry about me getting distracted. Love you guys.Elder Hukill

Dark Skinned Brothers
11/09/2009
Hey,
Whats going on? Everything here is same old stuff. Which means good same old stuff but still same old stuff. People are still freaking out about this swine flu thing. Alot of people wear masks and i just cough when i walk by them haha its pretty funny. Thats good that Skylar is back. Haha tell him he better write me. The new area is good for the most part. We have made some good things happen out of an area that wasnt worked very well for like 5 months. I came here in the 4th week of the transfer so i have only been with my comp now for 2 weeks but transfer calls were last week and he is getting transfered so i will have a new comp next week. The reason i got transfered here is because i was in a 3 some in simferopol and there was a 3 some here and i just had to wait in simferopol until i could get registered here in poltava and it just took 3 weeks to do it. There is one guy that we are working with that has some potential i think. But like 2 weeks ago we were writing a bus to the branch and i saw these 3 black people get on. So like usual i go and talk to my dark skinned brothers. Turns out they speak french and a little bit of english so we understand each other enough for me to get this guys number. They are from camorron by the way. Anyways so i am waiting until i get a french book of mormon to call them. But the Branch Presidents wife here served a mission to franch and speaks it perfectly so i had her call him and we set up for an appointment. So only this one guy comes named Viktor. And they are talking and we walked with him from this park to the branch where there is a french book of mormon. Anyways i show it to him and he is like Wow and says something in french and the lady that is with us is like she speaks perfect english and is like oh my gosh he is a member. Haha so i have her ask him about Joseph Smith and he tells her everything about him. So yea come to find out her got baptized a year ago in camorron and came here and didnt know that there was a branch here so "somehow" we just happen to be on the same bus as him and such. It was amazing. I am grateful to the Lord that i was able to find him. Such an amazing feeling. Anyways so yea now there is a black guy in the branch. :) But sounds like everything is going well back home. That stinks that Mike Sharp punched someone. Grandma Staheli sent me something about all the southern utah teams and said that he pretty much is there offense. Oh well. Haha that is so funny that Jani was talking to Kolby. She was probably hitting on him. Haha i love that kid. Anyways rumor on the street is we get to go to Dnepr for thanksgiving and play football against the other zones. Haha i am way excited. Also we might get to watch the Utah Alabama game. That would be so sweet. Anyways everything is going well here. Love you.Elder Hukill

13 Hour Train Ride
11/02/2009
Hey,
Well i made it here after my 13 hour train ride which i slept for seriously 11 hours. It felt so good. But right when i got off of the train i could see my breath and i definatly knew i wasnt in Crimea anymore. Back to Ukraine where everything is flat. That is crazy that Skylar comes home this week. Give him a hug for me. I think Dak is in Georgia but i dont know where. I still have my other coat but the coat i found is way thick and perfect for this place and but unfortunatly doesnt have a fur hood. The place i am in though is alright. My apartment isnt as nice but its not bad. We had no investigators when i came and i think i have done more street contacting this past week then Braxten and Skylar have done combined. Haha. But we got some contacts so things are going surely but slowly. I am not in it enough to worry about it. The branch here is probably the best in the mission with like 20 priesthood holders. Yesterday though i almost killed myself in sacrament i was so bored. Members need to learn that a testimony is like 2 minutes about a gospel principal. Not a fetching life story. Haha but whatever. Church was only 2 hours because i guess the swine flu is coming or somthing so some people are walking around here with masks and refuse to go outside. Also yesterday when we went to church someone had burnt this outside shield thing of the church and some other stuff. It was pretty crazy but the branch is fine. Crazy Ukrainians. I wasnt scared though when i was in Kherson alone. It was just a crazy feeling being alone. That is sweet that Alex Smith is the starter again. What is the kids name that plays at Utah? Is he white or black? That is sweet the Yankees are in the playoffs. Haha i really do like the Yankees. I am not Zone Leader here right now because i came halfway through the transfer and there were already ones but i think i will be at transfers. It is pretty cold here though but we havent had any snow thankfully. And the guy that you sent the scriptures for is from Camorron. When did Grandma and Grandpa Hukill serve in Colordo? Ask them if they knew a Ukrainian elder. If so he is from the branch i am serving in. Who sent the email and picture from Zone conference? I am way sorry to hear about Uncle Don. That fetching sucks so bad. Plan of Salvation is amazing though. Well i dont really know what else to say. I hope the family is doing alright. I will start to pray for him. Well i love you guys.Elder Hukill

Standing in the Middle of Ukraine at 4 a.m. Freezing.
10/26/2009
Hey,
Well thanks for doing that stuff for Valaree. You can just send it like normal in a package and then i will take care of it ffrom there. Right now i am in a city called Kherson. Maybe you remember me talking about it since this is where i would come when i was a greenie for Zone Conference. I left Simeropol last night at 11pm and got here at 4 in the morning. Haha the Elders picking me up were late so i was standing in the middle of Ukraine freezing at 4 in the morning. HAha it was quite the feeling but it was fun. Tonight i leave here at 7pm and get to poltava at 8am so a nice long 13 hour train ride which i will probably sleep the whole way since i slept like 4 hours last night. Anyways all is good. Man it is so crazy that everyone is already home. Haha i guess now i know how they feel when i was still at home and they were out here. I weigh 160 though. :) So crazy how soon everyone comes home and stuff. Haha that would be so amazing if it really were the Prophet there at the game. Let me know if you find out for sure. Also send me the picture if you can I am going to tell everyone that it was though. :) Suckers. Braxten did tell me about Jon being sick and stuff. That is so crazy. Has he been sick his whole mission? I am glad that i havent gotten to terrible sick yet. That is crazy about missionaries doing that though. But some missionaries are idiots. They may look the part but they definatly are idiots. That is definatly one thing that was pretty disappointing when i came to hear how dumb some missionaries were. But i guess you cant be to hard on them they still are 19 year old kids. Nothing to excting went on last week except for the fact that i was packing and doing all of that fun stuff again. I seriously cant believe i am already moving cities. Only 3 and a half months to my usual 5 1/2. I loved simferopol. We had been teaching this girl who when we started was atheist and then yesterday she came to church. It was awesome to see the change in her because of the gospel. Well there is nothing much else to say that is going on. Pray that i dont freeze to death. Haha i found a big warm jacket in my apartment that i took with me so i should be fine. It will definatly be quite the experience. Well love you guys.

That's Annoying
10/19/2009
Hey,
Whats going on? Well i am still in the Crimea so that is good. I still dont know when i am leaving so its kind of annoying but whatever. I am just glad to still be here before i go up there and freeze my butt off. That is crazy how soon everyone is coming home. The talent show was way cool and nigerians speak english but it is really hard to understand them. I have gotten used to their accent but when i first would talk to them i had no idea what was going on. We played soccer with them the other day in this indoor place and it was pretty fun. They are so good haha. But i held my own for being the only white boy out there. There are only africans in simferopol because of the medical school. But the shoe thing just send the picture to them and have them send the new ones to you and keep them there at home until i get home. I do have another pair and i am still wearing that other pair. But it will be nice to come home to a brand new pair of shoes for free. I dont know what will happen when i leave here and if i will be able to talk to Ben. I am sure i could if i asked President. That is cool McKenzie is dating somebody. Even though he has been married before. How old is she? Chad Winward is home? I didnt think he was suppose to come home until January or something like that. Oh well. Things out here are going fine though for the most part. Nothing to exctiting new to report on. We watched the Priesthood Session the other day in english and it was really awesome. But anyways that about all going on around here. If Kolton comes home this week give him a big hug for me. Love you guys.Elder Hukill

Expect tickets to Utah vs Notre Dame
10/12/2009
Hey,
Whats going on? Everything here is going well. Both of the people were sisters so that was really cool. Yea things here are way sweet which is why it stinks so bad i am going to the North Pole. But whatever. We got to watch conference this last weekend and it was way sweet. Elder Holland is a slayer that is for sure. They all are. Ben really liked them as well so that was really cool. Yea of course we have fast and testimony meetings here. Haha the church is the same everywhere even if it is in Ukraine and we have other problems. But parents definetly dont take their kids up to the front. Tell Grandma thanks for all the packages. Each companionship does have a cell phone and most people here at least the youth have a cell phone. Sounds like sports are going way sweet. Tell Brian i still expect tickets to the Norte Dame game next year. The fleet is still here. I dont really want to go to the office. You just have to put up with other peoples crap and so yea dont really want to. The bargaining thing is just with ties and other things like that. Even Taxis though are fun to try to get cheaper even if it does work or you only save like 1 grieven which is 12 cents. So on Saturday was a Nigerian indepence thing and so we went and it was this huge talent show and there were a lot of people and so we sat in the front row and i got called up twice on stage. Haha the first time to get a nigerian flag pin and the 2nd to sing a michael jackson song with people about love and stuff. It was pretty fun and it was cool because the nigerians were really glad that we came and so it was a good relationship builder. Also the mission doctor was down this weekend and i was talking to him and we were with Ben and the doctor guy said that if the Church has to it will send a hosptial plane to come and get us. So i thought that was pretty cool. I just thought for transfers i was staying here and elder richardson was going to go to the other companionship. But anyways guess i was wrong. I think next week i will be in Poltava where its freezing. I am still wearing a short sleeve shirt here. Haha anyways love you guys and hope everything is well. OH and i cant believe Kyle Orten is doing so well. Haha well thats it. See ya. Love you.Elder Hukill

Transferred to the Coldest Part of Ukraine
10/05/2009
Hey,
I cant believe it is already October. Fetching crazy. I am writing late today since we got permission from President Nelson to go to Sevastopol for P-Day. It was really sweet. We went to this old submarine base and stuff. I enjoyed it. That sucks Natalie couldnt finish the race but good to hear the rest of the Hukills pulled through though and didnt quit. We had 2 more people get baptized last weekend. It was really awesome. I baptized one and confirmed one and my companion baptized the other and Elder McIntosh confirmed her. They are really awesome. The Lord has really blessed us here to find awesome people to teach. Dnepr though was really fun but my mind got blown. Normally i have an idea whats going on with transfers and this time i thought i did too. But come to find out i am now in a 3 some with my greenie and an Elder Richardson. He is really awesome. Him and I are the Zone Leaders but President shocked me by saying i am getting transfered to a city called poltava in a few weeks! It sucks since i just barely came here. But there is an Elder who has had crappy companions so President is sticking me with him. It is the COLDEST part of the mission and right now i am in the warmest so its not cool. But oh well. Just do what i am told. In Poltava they have the strongest branch in the mission so thats good at least. I got all of the packages and thanks for all the food. Everyone else says thanks as well. I got the letter from Grandpa too. Nothing to exciting though going on around here except for the fact i am getting an early transfer. At our branch here we have a satalite so we tried to watch conference last night at 7pm (10 am for you) and we are all excited to watch it live. So we go and they start talking and its in a completly different language. Not even russian. Haha so it was kind of disappointing but oh well. I laughed. But anyways thats about all going on. Love you and sorry its short. Dont have much time today because of our trip. Haha i love bargining with people though. Good times. See ya.Elder Hukill

Seal Was So Sweet
09/28/2009
Hey,
I am glad that Ben emailed you guys last week. He is the coolest person i know. I love him. Haha yea that seal was pretty sweet. Everyone was laughing pretty good who was there. The dolphin show was pretty cool too. I should get those packages this week since i am going to Dnepr for Zone Leaders Council. Haha nice little vacation to see everyone. Carters live somewhere in northern utah. I cant remember for sure. Actually just remembered. Manaway or something like that. They are amazing. That is cool that everyone is going to run the marathon. Good to hear that Michael is even alive. Been awhile. There are probably 10 kids in the branch and 5 youth. They dont have things like that here. I dont think anyways. There are drunk people no matter where you go. Its Ukraine. I cant believe that Big Jon has a kid. Holy cow that is so crazy. If you see him tell him i say hi and congrats. That is funny that Camryn posed in her pictures. Haha someone needs to do that. I think the mission record for packages is 10. I definatly get the most packages though out of the mission as is. But anyways things here are going well. We have someone on date for this week but she needs to meet with the mission president or one of his counsulors first. The other Elders have someone on date as well so if all goes wel it will a double baptism. They have to meet with someone higher than us because they have had abortions. It is a really common thing here. It sucks. Satan Sucks. But anyways all will go well. We also went out to the village in our zone and saw the Elders out there. We played soccer against the kids there and owned them. Then the next morning i took a shower in this ghetto outside shower thing. I would have to live out there. Good times though. That is crazy Bishop is getting released. We had some good times back in the scout days. Anyways everything is going well around here. J dubs are crazy. Love you.Elder Hukill

The Church This Week Got At Least One Ghanan Cooler
09/21/2009
Hey.
Hows it going? Well I will just start off and say that the Church this week got at least one Ghanan cooler. Ben got baptized on saturday and confirmed yesterday. The quad made it here and he really loved it. He really was elect and i think a key to other africans at the medical univeristy. But Valaree has ditched us a few times so i dont know whats up with him. I think we are just going to leave him for a little bit and wait for him to call us. He needs to do his part. We have this other lady named Valatena who is on date. She just showed up at church and the members introduced us to her and so she is doing good. Also the other elders are teaching this lady that i found when i was with Elder Hertz. She is will be baptized as well. So thing here in Simeropol have really turned around. Zone Conferences arent in Dnepr. They are in Simeropol for our zone and in other cities. The only time i go to Dnepr is for Zone Leaders Council and Transfers. My talk went fine though. Talked about the Atonement and Missionary work. That sucks Utah lost but i am glad BYU got owned. Is Tom Brady still playing or what? The Carters go home next month. The lady is Zap still hasnt been baptized since she cant give up smoking. But she is still around. That is awesome about Kolby speaking. I really like that kid. Haha thats funny about the english thing though. We teach for 2 hours a week. One hour tuesday and one on friday. Its pretty fun. Its probably the most effective way of finding people. Tracting is only something you do if you have nothing else to do. Its really ineffective here. We also have a sign that we stand outside with but thats kind of ineffective as well. Good stories always come from it though. People are crazy. But the way i figure Tracting Signboarding and Street Contacting are ways that you have to pay the price to the Lord for people like Ben. So its worth it. The only time i have fasted on my mission in on fast sundays. Other than that i havent. But anysports reminder are good. They give me something to talk about with other missionaries. Well i hope everything is going well for you guys. Love you and thanks for all the support.
Hey.
Hows it going? Well I will just start off and say that the Church this week got at least one Ghanan cooler. Ben got baptized on saturday and confirmed yesterday. The quad made it here and he really loved it. He really was elect and i think a key to other africans at the medical univeristy. But Valaree has ditched us a few times so i dont know whats up with him. I think we are just going to leave him for a little bit and wait for him to call us. He needs to do his part.
