Email from Sept 3

hey mom,

man i wish could have been at the baptism. heybut maybe i will gt to
be there when they go through the temple. i bet it was a really
powerful baptism.

haha yeah they have it real good dont they? but i still have it
better. haha dont take this wrong but i really really dislike living
here but ghana is the best place to be on a mission. i would rather
suffer here and bring a ton of peole into the gospel then be in the
states living great in suffer while doing the work.

so this week was prety good. we had interviews on friday. that went
good he just asked how i was doing and said that he expects a lot from
me. we got transfer news on saturday. the cape coast zone leaders are
the ones that have to cordinate everyones movements. pres put a lot of
pressure on us for that one also. there are a ton of people moving
this transfer and we have 17 new missionaries. it seems like everyone
is getting moved around. me and saili sat down for an hour or 2 trying
to organize all of the chaos that is going to happen. so well see how
it all works out.
yesterday we had a girl from washington state come to church with a
referal. shes here doing service, helping to build a school in
takoradi. the guy that she brought was really cool. and he seems
really intrested but it could be that he just wanted to do it for the
bruni girl so we'll see. but it was cool to talk to someone from home.
but thats all of the exciting things for this week.

my companion is great. haha elder saili is just another american.
american samoa is just like the U.S. just an island. but he talks to
his family. he has a sister serving in the temple square mission right
now. he gets letters from her a lot too. she is actualy in the last
general confrence leahona.

well my shoes are doing suprisingly well. i was looking at them the
other day. i think its because i hvent had the greatest of companions
the last 7 months and i was ridding a bike instead of walking. my
socks are starting to get a little thin but they will be ok for a few
more months. the only thing i can think of is body wash and i need
pens. a pack of uni-ball pens perferably but thats it. but you just
sent a package so dont send them now wait a week or 2 please!

haha what else did you expect sis shulz to say. hes a spitball fire
ball with a temper;) i talked with her a lot on friday. we just talked
about you guys and her family. haha she said that she has a 15 yr. old
grandaughter that she wants to hook jaren up with;0 after mission of
course!

ha o well i gess i better go. i love you!!!

Love,
Trevin
