So... My Cousin has gone, for 2 years, he left to go to Ukraine on Mission, and as we were driving him to the MTC, I was thinking a lot and came up with this, my first ever Poem... Let me know what you think of it.:
He is now gone for atleast 2 years
A sound and thought that directs me to tears
A feeling that leaves me empty and dreadful
But yet a feeling that that makes me feel hopeful
That he will come home to be a better man
A man that has learned to give others a helping hand
A man that will always be there for someone
And a man that will leave behind no-one
This person I call my cousin or best friend
Yet if I was to give these word a slight bend
I would would call him none other
Than my big brother

Best wishes to your brother/cousin! Ukraine has got to be a difficult mission and I wish him all success!
There is something about a missionary that has him completely set up for future life - and adding an extra language has got to be one of the best job skills going!
I hope you can some day serve a mission too.

You will be sent where you are needed most. However, I do believe they take into account current talents and skills, so if there is a place that is close to your heart, learn all you can - especially language and cultural things. Doubly important if that's a place the Church is trying to expand - so if you want to serve in the Ukraine, learn Ukrainian.
