New Area New Companion

Hey Mom,
My new area is sweet! I love it. and my new companion is ok. He's not one of those jerk africans. We get along pretty well. He's from Sierra Leon. He doesn't talk much but thats ok. But he was really happy that I was his new companion. His old one was a weirdo jerk that wouldn't work. But I can get along with him fine.  So Mankessim is a lot bigger then Abuakwa! But I already like it more then Abuakwa. The people here are awesome so its cool.  I am starting to learn a new language. The people here they speak twi but their language is Fanti. But they are a lot alike they have a lot of the same words and the things that are just a little different. But its just different enough that its difficult to understand. The food isnt very different but they do eat more fish. But its usually good fresh fish not the dry salted one. But i like it. It was a 4 hour bus ride to cape coast but thats only because the roads are so bad. It would only take like 2 hours at home.
The concert sounded great. I hope you all had fun without me!!! haha just kiddin' haha long night. ha So story time in our apartment we have 2 other elders. Elder Hunt and Elder Randall.  Elder Hunt was my best friend from the MTC. We like a lot of the same things and we just get along good. We'll probably still be friends at home. But the 2nd day that I came to Mankessim we started talking and before we knew it it was 5 in the morning. Trust me we weren't planning on staying up all night but it just happened. The night flew by like no other. That was a long day. I will never stay up that long ever again!
I got jennies package today. Tell her THANK YOU!!!! Shes the best. I still haven't gotten your package but it should be here soon I think.
Jaren made varsity baseball! sweet!!! haha yeah I probably wouldnt like those coaches either but I would be so stoked to be playing varsity that I wouldn't care either.
So I've gott nothing else. I hope its all good at home.I love you and I'll talk to you next week. LOVE YOU!!!
love,
Trevin

I going to a new area

Hey mom,
Ok so I'm not staying in Abuakwa. I'm going down south to Cape Coast, to a town called Mankessim. and I'm getting an African companion. His name is Elder Tebi.  Prez. Shulz called me last night and told me a little bit about him. He's from Nigeria. Him and his last companion didnt get along so well thats why hes putting me with him. He thinks that I can help him out a lot. Haha but he said that I'm going to have to be patient with him. Haha I know that thats the reason God sent me to Ghana. to learn patience. haha I've already learned a lot but I've still got a lot of work. But Shulz also said that I'm going to be in an apartment with one of my buds from the mtc Elder Hunt and his trainee some one from the states. So I wont be all by myself. so I'm pretty happy it stinks leaving Abuakwa and saying bye to all my friends here but its exciting at the same time. Right now I'm just packing and trying to get stuff ready to go. II leave on wednesday.
haha thanks for looking that up. It didnt sound very legit. but I didnt know that about the polynesians. That's so cool.
I'm glad that dads foot is doing better. and everything is going fine at home. haha I dont know how Jaren does it either. That's to much for me. I'd have to take a break somewhere in there. Sweet, Kadyn and Carsen are playing basketball. wow I hope they have fun!
Grandma Kathy is awesome!!! I will make sure to send her a letter. haha Jessica. tell her Thank you again.
Wow i didnt know that Mitchell had left yet Markie told me he got his call. thats cool. I also know of a few others have gotten their calls. Callen Burnham is going to Alaska. Colten Edwards is going to Salt Lake. Colten ahhh cant remember last name. Kylers little brother is going to Argentina. So pretty soon everyone is going to be gone. Hey have you heard anything about Micheal Cimincki. last I heard he wasnt planning on going.
Man I wish I could see Mo. Tab. I love them now. That will be a cool concert.
So not much else. Just a lot of change but change is good. So i'll talk to ya next week. I love you!!!
love,
Trevin

News of the week

Hey mom,
Hahaha!!! hey the monkeys are awesome! of course I'm going to feed it! haha but I wont do it again.:( haha I guess I wont tell you about some of the other things I've done;)
OH MY GOSH!!! Mozambique Portuguese speaking!!! Jeez that's crazy, haha thats 10x cooler then Ghana. Tell Ryan congrats and I hope he has fun. Man what is this Chantz to the Philippines and Landon to Japan.   They're sending people everywhere! Oh i cant wait to talk to these guys when they get home. That's awesome.
Haha man everything happens after I leave. Randy is the bishop wow! I didnt see that one comming. that's so cool. I get to come home to a new bishop.
I'm glad that dad's foot isn't broken and its just an infection. I hope it heals fast. Sorry dad!
ummm... tell Jessica thanks. and I got a package from Jennie for Christmas it had her mormon tabernacle in it and candy canes. If that's the one. Tell her thank you shes the best! and thank you too. Your keeping me alive.
Soooo this week was great. Haha guess what!?! I'm going to be a Grandfather!!! Elder Francom got a call from Prez. Shulz to be a trainer. So now my kids going to have a baby boy! Haha its crazy it feels like I've been with Elder Francom for a shorter time then when I was with Mortensen, and now hes training and i..........still dont know what I'm doing. We've been trying to figure it out but their are too many possibilities.  But I'll find out on Sat. This week has been a busy week we had interviews with President Shulz.  Francom had to go to a trainers meeting and I got to go on splits with Asyabwua. So its been good. Haha do you emember Kennedy? Well he came to church on sunday. He asked us where we have been. I asked him the same question. But we went and met with him and he said that he wanted us to teach him again. So we'll see where it goes.
Ok I've got an assignment for you. k, so we were on splits with out zone leaders and we were with Elder Hernandez. and we were talking and we got into a discussion on other possible scripture and he started talking about this book called the record of Hagoth that professors are supposedly translating. It sounds pretty legit. so I was wondering if you could find out a little bit about it.
and some thing else were making a mission cook book. I need recipies that I can use to enter into it. We get prizes for the best recipies. so I need recipies that I can make here with very little things. So this is what we have we have vegitables we can make no bake cookies we have a little fruit. Ask dad for ingedients its about the same stuff.
But other then that this week has been pretty cool. I miss you all and love you tons!!!
love,
Trevin
