hey mom,
haha i bet its nice to have a spring break. i wish that we had a spring break.
we had district meeting today and prez and sis shulz were their and i
was giving the instruction! haha scary stuff. but they talked about
general conf. and said that it was really good. i wish that we could
watch it so bad. i guess we will have the disc for next sunday so we
will get to see part of it.
i am doing great. nothing to exciting going on rigth now. were still
seeing agnes. were just trying to push a long. its hard to get in to
see her. me and kebbie well.....its going. im trying. haha i think
about the way i delt with some of the things at home and ohhh boy ive
changed. i still get angry but i keep it in a lot better.
nothing to exciting happened this week. just doing the work. we had
the zone leaders come on splits with us this week. haha elder gibson
was with me kebbie. gibson is going home at the end of the month and
hes soooo dead. hes already at home. i hope that that doesnt happen to
me. hahahah and i also fell in the mud that morning. i caked my back
and my butt and got my scripture bag. my stuff is ok. haha and it was
fun walking home and having everyone stare at me.
so i got the peeps!!!!!!! THANK YOU!!!!!!! they were AWESOME!!! they
were a little squished but they were still good. and they stayed
fresh. the package came really fast i was amazed when they handed me a
package. when you send the pictures could you send me more spices. i
still have the stuff you sent. but i need some more stuff to cook
with.
haha i met the other adair. hes was alright...a little weird but hes
ok. but ive got nothing else for you. so i guess that i will talk to
you later. i love you!

Emails from 2nd half of March - I did not Edit his typing skills

March 20

hay mom,
sorry the internet cafe was on the fritz yesterday. haha no i didnt
wear green. i dont have any green to wear. haha and i forgot about the
holiday. we dont have any calenders so i dont really remember the
holidays to much. so if i dont remember mothers day and you dont get a
call i'll make sure that i call sometime that week.;) just kidding.
dad got the job. sweet! what else does he have to do now? how is your
job going? man! snow sounds awesome right now. its been hot lately.
but its coming to rainy season so it will be really nice. i love when
it rains here. feels a little more like home.
so this week was great. we started to teach this lady named agnus and
2 of her kids. we had a hard time meeting with her for a few days but
once we did it was awesome. we have taught her about the restoration
and the book of mormon  and we asked her to pray about it. the next
day she had a powerful testimony about both. and she came to church.
shes awesome. haha in one of our lessons with her she pulled out this
really really old book of mormon. i guess her husband had been taught
before and he gave her the book of mormon it was pretty cool. i havent
heard anything about where we will be yet. i heared that we will be
told next transfer. so in another 6 weeks. im excited though. i really
want to go back to kumasi before it splits. cape coast is sweet but i
like kumasi better. haha so when is mothers day


March 26

haha yeah the power and everything is really bad over here. in kumasi
it wasnt so bad but here the power goes out almost every other night
or the cafes internet is down. but i will get the email out
eventually.
thank you for the peeps. i cant wait for them. tell ruthie THANK YOU!
everything at home sounds sweet. everyone is having fun. i am really
looking forward to coming home and seeing everyone doing their things.
jarens senior year, kadyns and carsens gymnastics and sports. it will
be awesome!!! at least jaren is getting to play something. and yeah i
know the coach. isnt he in our ward? he sounded like he was going to
be pretty awesome. i guess i was wrong.
right now nothing to exciting is happening here. i am learning the
meaning of patience with kebbie though. i dont know what to do. he has
some very weird ideas and thinks in the exact opposite way of me. its
hard to agree with anything. its getting harder! im so glad put me
with 2 other americans. i would have went crazy if i was by myself.
haha elder martin is ok. yeah hes still weird. but i can handle a
little weird. we do like a few of the same things like books and
movies so their isnt just silence in the apartment.
sis agnes is pretty sweet. i hope we can go somewhere with her.
hopefully to baptism.
so today we went to the castle. pretty cool. i got a lot of pictures
and learned a lot. and i talked to the zone leaders and they said that
in 5 weeks when we get the call for transfers and if we get moved
thats where were staying. so if i stay in mankissem im staying in cape
coast. so the countdown is 5 weeks!
well cool then. i dont have anything else. haha oh wait i did get sick
last week. when elder hunt was leaving we ate at a lot of members
houses and we had 2 on sunday. the first lady gave us a huge dinner
plate of rice. you know how small my stomach is. but then we wqent to
her sisters house and we werent even supposed to eat there but she
made us and i was like ohhhhhhh noooooooo im gonna die. and she also
brought out a huge plate of rice. i got like halfway through andi
couldnt do it anymore i was sick. but we went home and i started
throwing up. and then i went to bed and and woke up in the night then
threw up all over our floor. so i mopped it up at 1 in the morning.
but now im all good my stomach is empty and i feel a lot better then
ive been in ghana. but thats my fun for the week.
so ill talk to you later and well see what else happens here. love you!!!
love,
Trevin

Emails from 1st half of March - I did not Edit his typing skills

March 5

hey mom,
what no email this week? are you forgetting about me?!?! haha just kidding. hope everything is good at home. and your having fun.
so this week has been pretty good. we had a lot of appointments this week and a baptism. sorry forgot to say anything. it was a baptism that was scheduled before i came so its someone that i didnt teach. but hes an awesome guy. his name is isaac lartie. he'll be a sweet member. we have found a few serious people that want to learn so we are working with them. the most serious one is giddion. hes about 22 and he understands a lot. but Jehovah's Witness has been meeting with him a lot also. so hes really confused and likes to argue about stupid stuff. but we'll see where it goes. me and kebbi are doing good we've ben able to talk a lot more and were working better together. its been fun and the last 4 weeks have passed like nothing. haha now im 7 months. only a year and 5 months to go. thats easy. this will go by like nothing. it amazing how fast everything is moving.
hey guess what me and elder hunt are pretty much profesinal cooks now. we made re-fried beans and tortillas the other day. they are soooooo good almost as good as home. we also found out how to make ice cream and scones so were enjoying.
well i got nothing else. hope you have fun this week. love you!
love,
Trevin

March 12

 hey mom,
haha how could you forge about me!?!? haha just kidding its ok i didnt
have much last week to tell so its all good.
so home sounds crazy right now. basketball and baseball and scouts.
wow! sounds like fun. how are kadyn and carsen doing with it? has
jaren played any games yet? did dad find anything more out about his
job stuff?
haha yeah i love the food that were cooking. its awesome to eat some
thing thats actually enjoyable. ha but i dont know how much i've
really changed. we'll see. culinary school? ummm....maybe. i've been
thinking about what i want to do when i get home. i have no clue. and
probaly wont untill i get home. haha Easter yay!!! PEEPS!!! YAY!!!
that would be awesome!!! and yeah you promised me pictures. where are
they! haha i wana see home. everything. i want family trips, lake,
snow trips, jake, house, stuff you guys have done. EVERYTHING!!! haha
but i think that should do it for now.
so me.... this week was good. we taught a lot of lessons. we are
picking up some more serious people. its nice. we had a problem for a
couple of day where our investigators were having a lot of doubts but
we worked through most of them. i hope we helped them. the last six
weeks have gone by like nothing and its crazy. transfers are coming up
again but i dont think that im going anywhere. i think me and kebbi
will stay. kebbi is doing good. were teaching good together. were able
to teach better as a companionship now. we still have our little
problems but we are working through them.
im glad that jaren wrote to me. i've been thinking about that a lot. i
dont like what i did. i hate it. and i think the reason why jaren
thinks that is my fault. he has plenty of friends. its better to have
a few great friends that like you for who you are then to surround
yourself with people  that dont care about you personally. i was
friend with most everyone but the ones i loved are the ones i knew the
best and hung out the most with. tell jaren i love him again. and
kadyn. and carsen.
haha guess what i forgot to tell you. i finished the old testament a
couple of weeks ago. yeah genesis to malachi. sweet huh? freak a lot
of work. but i remember reading the story of moses. every time mose
went to the pharaoh its says that the pharaoh hardened his heart. so i
was thinking about that and i thought of just that. dont shut it out
right away. but take the time to consider it and to pray. without that
were all stiff necked little buggers that wont be able to accept
anything. its a great story.
so i gues i better go. talk to you later. i love you all!!! keep smiling.
love,
Trevin
