Hey how is it going family? The baptism was sweet! I got another baptism on the 9th of February! My boy Ariel he is super stellar. I think I will be the one baptizing this time.
This week we had meetings with the mission President I told him that I only want latino companions for now on! Because they help me so much with my Spanish. He told me my Spanish is actually pretty good but I know he is lying ha ha cause people still don't completely understand me...
I'm super excited for the package that you are sending. Looking forward to having a camera again.
I have been waiting for my reimbursements since Christmas so I've been lacking in money because they haven't sent it to me... it sucks but it should be here this week.
Right now I'm feeling better because I go to the gym everyday and I can only ride the bike for 5 minutes ha ha ha because my knee is trash but I do other things there.
It's been a hard week.. I was super depressed yesterday because I thought the super bowl was going on and I missed it! Ha ha ha and found out today it's not until next week ha ha gosh dang!
I'm super stoked for Skyler! ha ha that's nut's he has been gone 2 yrs all ready..He is stellar and way good missionary! I hope that he still writes me!
That's a wrap up of my week! I love you!
Stay Classy!

Jan. 21st
Hey Family, What's up? Yeah... I got my package this week I was so stoked!
I have been having a good time.. Yesterday I kinda freaked out at one of the missionaries that I live with because he is a big kid about 300 lbs and he eats a lot but he doesn't buy much so its frustrating!!! I told him I love to share because its a cool thing, but it sucks when we share my nutela and peanut butter and I don't get to eat any of it! He was kinda mad haha but what a jack wagon right? haha me and my comp got a little frustrated with him cause we like to buy good food for us for the days we don't have lunches and most the time we are not the ones that get to eat it.
This week was funny we were in a lesson we went on a division and I was with the big kid Elder Zilm and he has less time than me
(cool to see someone with less time than I do) but I have 7 months now and will hopefully be a trainer in the next couple changes that's really what I want to do but I don't want to train until after April because only latino's are coming here until April and I will learn more training an American because it will make me have to teach more.
Today we went to tgi friday's in Asuncion it was so sweet! We went because this week we have special changes and any one of the other 3 missionaries could go in the next 2 weeks.
It's been cool me and my comp get along sweet. With Elder Arday we made 75 contacts each and 27 other lessons and 13 new investigators this week and last week we had 11 so it's going good I guess.
Tonight we have 2 baptisms in our ward. Two 8 year olds but my comps doing them kinda cool! We have to go soon because we have to catch a bus to get to the baptism!
Elder Blackmore called me and said that the Chavez family is always askin' about me. They get a new bishop this week.
Funny story: So, there are monkeys here in my area there are 5 of them they are kinda big like tucker. They live next to a house that we eat lunch at.Y esterday we went to feed monkeys and it took like a hour for them to take 1 bananna I chucked my mango at it and almost hit it and I sat down and started messing with my comps camera and then all the sudden I got peed on my head and my comp takes his camera and starts filming me cause I was way mad haha the freakin' monkey peed on my head ha!!!
Well that's a good note to end my letter on.. haha so I love you! Stay Classy!

January 14th
Hey Family!
What’s going on?
Well this week was pretty good. It is super “Hot” here but not as hot as Conception because here there are at least trees for shade.
I eat Mangos all day long! My companion loves it because I’m tall enough that I can reach the good ones ha ha ha.
We live with another set of missionaries so we rotate everyday cooking so we save money.
Me and my companion decided that we may get a gym pass and start going early in the morning cause he is starting to get fat and I just want to get good looking ha ha ha.
This area is cool. I’m still getting to know it but it has lots of hills and rocks so it’s harder on my knee so I’m using my brace a lot.
I saw Elder Rigby today and he was laughing at me saying that he never thought that I would learn Spanish but that is all I speak now with my new companion… So I guess I CAN DO IT! My Companion is way cool. We get along great!
We have got some good investigators. We still have some work to do before they are ready to commit. Kind of funny… there are some ladies we always visit with and they are exactly like Aunt Annie and Aunt Wendie( it’s so funny hahaha it makes me miss home tho!)
We have 4 missionaries in our ward but less people than we did in Conception its weird.
I hope to get some hand written letters soon they really mean the world to me cause I hang them on the wall re read them over and over.
I have a budea ha ha I havent used a single sheet of toilet paper for about 2 weeks now so I’m the lucky one hahah!
Yeah we don’t have McDonalds or Burger King someone freakin lied to me haha!
Love ya!
Stay Classy!

Trevor's first week in his new area Pequeta Cue 1/7/13
Hey whats up Family?
Well my new area is a lot different!
I live in pequeta cue not luquea ! So you will have to look that up on the map!
Its a lot different than Concepcion. It actually has trees and paved roads!! In this area I eat a ton of mangos and pomogranites its sweet!
But the bad part of my new area is it has tons of mosquitos its the area known for mosquitos and it has a lot of hills and rocks and mountains so my knee is getting trashed but I have a knee brace now so we will see how it goes!
Cool thing is... I live in a house with another set of missionaries and one of them is from Jordan High School Elder Armstrong so kind of cool!
Living with 4 is way nice cause gives me a break from Spanish at nights. living with 3 other missionaries is pretty cool because we switch off cooking its way awesome! I want some mapliene abstract cause we make lots of pancakes but don't have syrup!
My companions name is Ardaya he is from Bolivia he is really short but he's a cool dude!
This week we moved houses we had a house that was huge but way ghetto and we moved into the nicest house in the mission we have granite counter tops and a budea its freakin sweet! ( I'm the only one that uses it tho) I would take pictures but my camera broke ha ha so I will when I get my money from my stitches ha ha I have such sweet luck!
Today we went into the city we were in Luque and we saw the other missionaries and I was hanging out with Elder Rigby it was way sweet to see him!
So when I left Concepcion last week I took money and my hammock to the Chavez family... I couldn't hand it to them because I was bawling I walked out said my goodbyes and my comp had to Hand it to them. I really miss the Chavez Family they will see other missionaries everyday for tons of years but I will remember them forever I love them I'm cryin just thinkin bout the little one I would draw Harry Potter on his face!
It was so hard saying bye to everyone it rained so... I didn't get to say goodbye to everyone that I wanted too so when they went to church I got a phone call from some of them telling me they were sad I didn't say goodbye and they love me and will miss me kinda sad !
I have some sweet things for Dad Weston and Sam some ties I got from here !
They seem to baptize a lot in this area so we will see what happens!
My comp didn't have a comp for 4 weeks so we just started working in our area so last week we found 13 new investigators and we had 4 already so yeah we got it goin way good here! And the ward here seems way sweet! They feed us good.
I have to take a bus everyday so it sucks!
In my whole district there are 12. And only 4 of us are American.
Well, I love you!
Hope to hear back from you soon!

Happy New Years Fam
Hey Family! :)
Well Mom your gonna be super happy I just got changes I'm leaving this area :( I was super excited until I realized I have to go say goodbye to people I probably will never see again! The people that have been feeding me and been teaching me the Spanish! Tomorrow is the little one Stacy's Birthday ..she loves me ,
I'm not excited to tell them that I'm leaving. I really love them! I will leave them with some food.
I leave tomorrow night to a place called Luque. It is 1 hour from Asuncion and my companion is from Bolivia (I'm going to be learning Spanish !:) I'm super nervous!
My companion told me that they have McDonalds, Burger King and Pizza Hut!-- Something I didn't even know existed in Paraguay! Yeah I will be gaining some weight :)!
In Luque they use those crazy busses ha but it will be cool.
Pictures I sent this week:
The 2 kids are named Micheal and Evalin! they live here with Leobradah she is our menos activo that loved me and Elder Gordon! (not so much Elder Blackmore).
The 2 men are me my companion and David! David is my best friend here in Conception he was our secretary of the rama (ward) but he knew what was going on in our church (When the Bishop was stealing the tithing $)so our Bishop took his keys away so he switched wards!
The rooster well. .. I started cock fights here in Paraguay and that was mine. Just kidding Mom. I'm not doing that! It was just a cool Rooster so I took a picture of it!
Hey Family I love you have a great New year and know I'm thinkin' about you guys!
Stayyyy Classy!
