Whit you can post this to end his blog- If you have a letter from you or Sam you would like to post do..I just didn’t have one to add. Also if you have a few pictures from the airport or shortly after he came home add those too. I have some on my camera you can down load too. Don’t update it on my facebook just the blog. I will send a copy to my mom so she can finish her book that she is doing on him too.
Monday 8/12
Whats up fam? so this week was a lot different so I haven’t slept very good the last couple months I was sleeping like 3 or 4 hours a night I’ve been talking to the doctor here! and she was giving me sleeping pills and I still haven’t been sleeping! so I called the mission president and told him what was going on . . . all week I have been in and out of the hospital and the office today I went to the doctor for my knee and tomorrow I am getting a MRI
Im coming home . . .
if not just for my knee for my health for being sick and for my sleeping.
I haven’t been healthy my whole mission and I have been having interviews with the mission president trying to help me out for a long time I didn’t want to be saying anything I didn’t want you all to be disappointed in me.
but I cant keep getting sick and being depressed I have another doctors appointment tomorrow for my knee...
I have been seeing doctors mom!
I have been trying and keeping it from you all! I just want you to be proud of me still! and know that I love you! All of you!
Everyone has been surprised and amazed I’ve made it as far as I have..I have the longest medical record here :( I haven’t been healthy and I’ve tried so hard…Seriously I’ve given it my best and I’ve learned a lot and that doesn’t make me a failure!) It’s not just the knee its my health I haven’t slept more than 3 hours a night for months its just my sicknesssess
I love you Family!
I told the mission president that I would like to come back if I get home and everything gets better and I feel I need to come back really would like to come back to this mission He said he would love to have me back here. We were going to call you on Wednesday and than on Saturday but we wanted to wait until I got the MRI results and see if I started sleeping again.
Tomorrow I have A MRI for my knee I fell running up stairs and hit my knee on the railing and its swollen and bruised and so there sending to get a MRI to make sure that’s not a problem later we will figure it all out…It’s the same knee that I have had issues with from the start of my mission.
I love you family! I’m sorry if I’m a disappointment or not a big role model anymore
I hope you all still love and support me like I love you
I don’t want to be a disappointment in your eyes..
I have gone threw hell and now I can’t sleep and I’m losing weight like crazy and its time for me to get better!
It is Final mom!
I love you and I miss you
I hope I can still be a hero in your eyes

Letter from Sharla-Of course I’m still proud of you and ill ALWAYS love you! You’re my little brother and I’m very grateful for that! I have to tell u, I have been really emotional today, just worried about you and if you’re ok and paisley said, "mom are you sad?" I told her that I was sad because trevy is sad and she made me cry harder because she wanted to say a prayer for trevy! So I said a prayer and explained to her that heavenly father will give u a hug for us since we cant right now with you being so far away and she told me, trevy will be happy! I love him and he loves me! This is not made up. I love my sweet pais, life is so simple at that age and her spirit and testimony really help me! These girls will always look up to you no matter what as well as so do I! I know you have given it your all and that’s what matters! I hope you felt our hug and love from home! We cant wait to see you!!!

Letter from Wes-Hey Bro its Wes! I love you man! You are my hero and I am very proud of you! I’m so sorry that I haven’t been as big of a support as I should have been to you! I hope you know we are grateful for the service you have done and we will never be ashamed of whatever decision you make. Your decision is between you and the Lord, not anyone else.
I feel bad that you have been sick and had different trials throughout your mission. You have had some great testimony building experiences though and that is what is important. Never forget the things you learned and felt on your mission. Its easy to get caught up in other things when you’re not a missionary anymore. I love you bro and will support you to the end!!! ;)
8\15- Hey mom I just wanted to write and tell you that I’m am getting a MRI this Tuesday I thought it was going to be 2 days ago but it didn’t work out so this Tuesday and I already have an appointment!
I’m hoping that I don’t need knee surgery ha but the thing worrying the doctors the most is that I cant sleep! and I’m just exhausted .. Because of the Dengay Fever my immune system is weak and so I’m catching every sickness because I’m just soooooooo weak and sleepy! But my mind doesn’t shut off at night so I can sleep
I’ve lost my happy and can’t find it
We had a conference this week with our Mission president and we had to do practices in front they made me do it in front of everyone!
I felt so exhausted that I almost cried!
I want you all to know I know what I’m doing here as a missionary is true!
I know that the church is true and the only through Jesus Christ we can return to live with our families forever!
I know that God restored his church through Jose Smith!
I know that this is true!
i haven’t ever doubted it!
I LOVE YOU ALLLLL! With my whole heart thanks for loving and supporting me!
i am ready! i want to get healthy again ive had a rough go and ive given it my all and i cant be sick anymore! i just need to be healthy and happy!
i love you all and thank you for being such a big part of my life!
Your kid
Trevor
Letter from Steve-
Dear Son
I hope that this last week has been a much better week for you. When you are down and out, we suffer too.
Trev no one said that a mission was going to be easy, and every missionary struggles. Everyone in life has their own challenges that they struggle with. You are not alone. Learning to overcome or deal with is the challenge. If it is that the Mission President and Doctors feel that you need to come home, then we will all be fine with that. Otherwise, you need to dig deep and go to work. You have big requests of the Lord and he may be testing you to see how committed you are to him before he can bless you with your requests. You can do what you set out to do.
Now I have some things for you to think about.
· Have you done everything in your power to be healthy, eat right, drink right waters, wash foods, avoid activity that may hurt knee? If not, you haven’t done your part. Remember how you were always after me for eating sweets? If I can’t do my part, how am I supposed to be healthy. That goes for you too!!!!
· Have you Obeyed ALL of the Mission Rules?
You need to follow all of the rules to receive all of the blessings. Do as the handbook says and you will improve. I Promise You! In Mosiah 2;22-24, it states that if we keep the commandments, we will be blessed immediately.
· There is nothing more important that you at 20 could be doing for you and for the Lord than finishing this mission. There is nothing here that you need to be a part of now. We are all fine. The Lord is blessing us and we still need those blessings Trust the Lord. He will make everything right for you.
· A year and a half ago, something happened when you approached the Lord about a mission. You have never told us about that night, but it must have been special. Whatever happened is still true today. You can re approach the Lord for confirmation. HE LOVES YOU IMMENSELY!
· LASTLY, lots of people are soooooooo proud of you, they are praying for you and they are looking to you for an example. Just last night, Grandma Great said how proud she is of you. For whatever reason, she thinks you walk on water. She says that you and her have something special. So many people think the same.
Now Trev, You have a great work to do in this life. BELIEVE IT. You have a special way about making people feel good about themselves. Go Forward, Love the People, Forget about everything but the work and know that you will be home before you know and great blessings will await you. I Promise You. Have I ever lead you astray? I want nothing but the best for you.
I Love You with all of my heart and always will. I know that you will make the right choice with fasting and prayer.

I got the MRI today and tomorrow I will get my results! I had to take a bus this morning with my companion at 3 in the morning!
The Mission nurse gave me the BOMB the pill to kill all my bugs inside me. I am just drained right now cause just spend the days in the bathroom sick! hahah fun right!
It’s super hot here right now its weird how the weather changed so fast!
This week I’ve had a very rough time with my companion! harder than ever!
The reason for this is he is very prideful and the last 2 month he was getting extra money to pay for the house and he was spending it and wasn’t paying the house bill! so then he got changes to be my companion and only had 50 mil for the month! and we started on the 5th so 50 mil to last 25 days! and we get 850 for the month! so I was helping him out by buying all the groceries, paying for the bus and doing everything I could to be the best companion Ii could to make it so we didn’t have a single problem! until this week he pulled out his money and had it the whole time and was just trying to get free stuff from me all month! I was pretty chapped!
I talked to the President again today. He said I’m like a horse at a horse pull!
I’m just at the line weighting to explode because I’ve gone from sickness to sickness and injury to injury and now its got to the point where I’m catching every sickness because I can’t sleep and my body is just plain worn out.
I have done more praying than I have ever done in my life! I have been studying and trying harder being 100% obedient trying to do everything to be happy to try to be healthy again! I can honestly say I have given it my all to be happy and healthy
I have to go..Ii got a noche de hogar and a lesson to teach.family night noche de hogar.
Ii love you family!Thanks for the prayers and the love!
I really need it right now I’ve been threw a rough time and telling you I was sick and needed to come home was the hardest thing I’ve ever done! because I never want you to be disappointed or ashamed of me!
I do have a testimony and Know this is true!
I know the Jesucritso died for us! and solo mediante el podemeos volver a vivr con nuestro familias siempre!
y tambien jose smith es un profeta de dios
y dioes resturo su evangelio mediante jose smith!
y solo podemos volver a vivir con nuestro familias si vivimos eso evangelio!
I know this is true …I do and I love you all…. thanks for loving me
Love ,
Trevor

I love you family!
I want the happy back
Trevor spent almost 3 weeks in the Mission home seeing Dr.’s and trying to get better. In the end it was determined that Trevor needed to come home and see Dr.s in America.
We as a Family are so proud of our Trevor for serving the people in Paraguay! We welcome him home ( Almost 40 lbs skinner)and we just want to Love on him! We are doing all we can to get him better. He has been a trouper to be sick for 15 long months. We love to hear his stories and feel the love he has for these dear people who were so poor and humble yet so happy. To the Chavez Family… I will forever be thankful for your sacrifice was great! We love you and will forever be in your debt ..Thank you for taking care of our son when you had little to give…
Trevor has so many great experiences and made dear friendships that will last a life time! Trevor especially loved the little kids and they in turn loved him! Most of the pictures he sent home was of these beautiful children hanging on him. Trevor shared the Gospel with many and there were many who excepted and listened to the message and were baptized. Trevor loves serving people! He has a gift .. He loves and accepts people. People are drawn to him and feel his love. Trevor will always treasure the memories with these good humble people who gave so much to feed and care for the missionaries… Paraguay will forever be in his heart! Trevor you are our HERO and like the poster the Keigley family made for you…..Mission accomplished! WELCOME HOME SON!
