No pictures this week and just a short email. 

From Elder Trezise:

My week was pretty good. I got sick again, and had to spend most the week recovering. It sucks. But once I adjust to the climate change it should go away. It was depressing cuz I couldn't do much work. But a few nights I decided to go to lessons anyway. The Carvajals yelled at me for it, like proper mission parents, but it ended up okay. We found a new person to teach, which made me feel less useless. And the Carvajals made me soup most nights which was really nice. I'm really sorry to hear about Max though. I have been praying for him a lot. I hope that everything will work out. I will continue to pray for all of you. 

That is great that Max wants his patriarchal blessing! Mine has helped me so much. But I haven't applied it too much until my mission. Just make sure he knows how important it is, and make sure he reads it often. It will bring him comfort. There's a verse in the Book of Mormon that has really been able to help me as I've been sick this week.  It's 2nd Nephi, chapter 1, verse 15. It says, "But behold, the Lord hath redeemed my soul from hell; I have beheld his glory, and I am encircled about eternally in the arms of his love." I don't know why this verse has helped me so much. I just know that Christ has suffered everything we have ever felt. I can feel His love daily as I pray for guidance and strength. I am so, so grateful for the Atonement. For the redeeming power of our Savior. It has been such a comfort in my life. I had the chance to bear my testimony yesterday, and I chose to talk about the Atonement. I am so grateful for the Savior. For His life, and even for His death. Because He died, and lived again, it makes it so we can all live again. We will all be resurrected with a perfect body. It is so comforting to know that because of Him, no matter how far we stray, we can come back again. 

I loved seeing all the pictures on FaceBook! You guys are awesome, and I am so grateful for your influence in my life. I love you all so much. I'm sorry my email isn't longer. But it's a busy day and I feel like crap. I'll write more next week. Love you all!

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.
