Elder Trezise's letter this week was short and sweet:

I'm doing well. I've been sick this week which was tough, but whatever. I'm glad that the testimonies were good. Charity and love is an attribute that I think we could all work on, all the time. I know I can work it in. That sucks that my dog had fleas though. If I were there this never would have happened. I'll make sure he doesn't get fleas when I take him to college. 
 
Yeah, missing church because you're sick is a no no. At least go to Sacrament. We NEED the Sacrament every single week. 
Anyway, this week was good because I got a lot of studies in. I finished up Alma this week. Man. I like the war chapters. I really liked chapters 60,61, and 62. This is where Moroni complains to Pahoran, and absolutely tears into him. Blames him for the deaths of thousands, and calls him a traitor. And in the next chapter, you realize that Pahoran has done nothing wrong. He is trying to help out. But Moroni doesn't realize that... awkward. But the next part is my favorite. Pahoran sends an epistle back and says that he isn't angry. That he knows Moroni is a good man, and is trying his best. His response is amazing. He doesn't get angry. He doesn't get upset that Moroni judged him unrighteously. He just asks for help. And in the next chapter, Moroni immediately goes to his aid. He goes and helps Pahoran out. He acknowledges that he's wrong and fixes his mistake. We all can make that decision. We all can choose to forgive others trespasses and choose to help each other out. If we truly love someone, we will let their shortcomings go, and we will continue to love them and support them. That is the attitude we all need to have. That is the way we all need to live. I know that it is hard to love others sometimes. I know that it is hard to forgive people, and to acknowelge our wrongs. But we can do it. We can be better. I know we can. I love you all. Keep striving to be better daily!
-Elder Trezise

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.
