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
