I received the top 2 photos from members in Idaho before I even received an email.  It was so cool getting both of the pictures.  Here is Elder Trezise's first email from Idaho:

I made it.  I am fine.  P days are Mondays for me now, so that's cool.  I live like 2 minutes away from the Idaho Falls Temple, which is gorgeous.  My companion, Elder Nelson is awesome, and is a zone leader so I have keys to the churches and stuff.  He doesn't have driving privileges which is stressful for me because I have to drive everywhere.  But I love it here.  It's nice and cool and everyone is so nice.  The charge on my card should probably be around $20 or so.  I thought it already charged me, because a while ago I ordered a birthday present for Ian, but it didn't come yet.  It's an infinity gauntlet mug, so if that comes in the mail I'd appreciate it if you could give it to the Wanlass fam so they can send it to Ian.  If it charges me again, fight it.  Sorry.

The mission isn't what I expected.  I don't know why, but I'm more relaxed then I thought I'd be.  It's strange.  I love meeting all the people though.  I am staying in the basement of one of the nearby Bishops.  It's a super nice place, so I'm glad to be here.  My address is 205 Pevero Drive, 3rd Box, Idaho Falls, ID.  My area is called IF North I think, and it's pretty big.  We cover 4 wards so it's tough to keep track of everyone.  And I would love it if you could send me that quote thing.  One of the missionaries made a song where it's all the Apostles right now, and those that passed away recently, all bearing testimony of Christ, and it is awesome.  He also made another called, "Apostle pump up quote song" with loud music in the background, and it's all the Apostles talking about the importance of sharing the Gospel.  They are awesome and super cool.  I love and miss you guys and hope to hear from you soon!

One of my favorite pics of Elder Trezise and his first companion
Taylor Wanlass lives in Idaho and his sister in law sent him this picture which Taylor sent to me.  I wrote to Ben about it and this is what he said:

I am serving in the IF North area and Taylor's wife Spencer has a sister in one of my wards.  She came up to me after I bore my testimony in her ward and was like, "You're from Chandler? Do you know a Bishop Wanlass?" And I was like, "I LOVE THE WANLASSES!!"  It was pretty cool for sure.  I miss my sweet baby Ollie, but the members who we're staying with have a little puppy named Rue who is so sweet.  She plays with me, but not the same as Ollie does :(

It was a crazy day for Elder Trezise and he didn't call until after 5.  I think being AP takes up a lot of his time.  Here is his letter for this week: Sorry this is so late. It's been a day. Haha. But this week has been a good one. It's been crazy! We had exchanges on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. So yeah. Thursday was with Elder Smith, so that one was AWESOME! But the rest were exchanges with struggling missionaries. So that was more tough. But I had a lot of fun. We also drove up and down and up and down all week across the mission, and it was WILD. So much driving. It has been so, so cool to see the mission field and interact with so many missionaries though. I feel so blessed. Today I wanted to send an email with some lyrics to a song that I have and love. "It's not about having everyone in the world to yourself It's about knowing that someplace you're loved by someone else  It's about singing and hearing more than your ow...

Here is Elder Trezise's letter: Hello family! This week was pretty normal. We had a good amount of lessons, and got soooooooooooo close to finding a new person to teach. We'll get him. His names Ricardo. He's a good kid. Loves the Bible. Other than that, not too much happening this week.    I'm grateful for the opportunity I had to participate in the family's weekly studies this week, even if I didn't get to be a part of the discussion at the end. I hope you all enjoyed the talks. "Be 100% Responsible" is one of my favorites of all time! It's so good! And it really teaches us how much control we have over our lives. Other people's choices don't change the outcome of our lives, just the course. Same destination. What decisions we make despite others agency is where our true character lies. Being 100% responsible is what allows us to have full control of our lives. Because if we are responsible, then no matter what others ...

That's awesome that Michael is still doing the Organ Stop tradition! I always loved that! The Carvajals son moved in for Christmas, and he's fun, and has the new super smash and says it's super fun.

That...
