 Note- He had previously asked for a copy of his patriarchal blessing.  I had it copied, shrunk and laminated so he could carry it with his scriptures.  I also sent him a package with other things he'd asked for. 

From Elder Trezise:

I did get the package and I absolutely love it.  The pictures and blessing make me so happy.  I am still loving it here, but it's harder on some people.  Somebody from my district just went home, and it is so sad because despite the fact that I've only known these guys for 2 weeks, I trust and love them so much.  I know some of them will be lifelong friends of mine.  I miss home, but love the work.  It is so spiritually draining.  My knees have callouses and no longer hurt when I get down to pray.  I feel so happy all of the time, and know it is because this Gospel is true.  I am taking the shuttle to Idaho, and I leave next Wednesday.  It sounds like Big Brother is pretty good, and the Spiderman game is cool.  Keep sending me updates on stuff.  I miss you guys so much.  That picture of Ollie under the gate made me so happy.  I'll try to send some pictures of some funny stuff happening here.  Some Elders - Bues and Brady in the room next to us are hilarious, and we pull pranks on each other all of the time.  I have heard quite a few rumors about General Conference too, and know some of them that my Branch President has told me it is true.  I am excited to see the changes take place.  Anyway, I love you guys, hope to hear from you soon!  Also, send me pictures of Ollie with his tongue out.

 I got a short email later telling me he was going to hear one of the 12 speak.  It ended up being Elder Andersen.  He was so excited!

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 ...

An ornament I ordered  Doing service One of his many ward parties Lunch with the Elders Visit from his BFF Still no coat Hangin with the Wanlass Fam Dinner with the companion   Lots of pictures this week!    The Wanlass Family were able to go to Idaho for Christmas and dropped off some brownies and salsa for Elder Trezise.  He loved seeing them and luckily didn't get homesick at all.  Here is his letter: I miss caroling at Great grandma's, but I've got to carol the last two weeks, so I'm not gonna complain. 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. I miss my puppy. I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU PUT A SWEATER ON MY DOG! I heard the party was a lot of fun, and dad got stuck with the poster. I heard about what Kim and Brian did, and that made me so happy. That...
