Elder Trezise & Elder Woods (Elder Woods has been home a year  - not sure why he came back -he was Elder Trezise's AP and zone leader in Shelley)


 I love being able to speak with Elder Trezise two times a week.  He had some struggles this week with disobedient missionaries and I was so impressed on how he dealt with them.  He is a wonderful example to me.  Here is his letter for the week:

 Hello family! 
This week was CRAZY. I'm gonna give you a run through of what it looked like. 
 
Monday: P-day. From 6-9 was a bunch of paperwork at the office. 
Tuesday: Elder Garrison joined us and we continued working on paperwork, and started working on transfers. Most of the day was scheduling things and booking flights for the departing missionaries. 
 
Wednesday: Woke up at 4, took everyone to the airport, said goodbye to Elder Meyers, and got back to work. We worked on transfers for a while and then took some more missionaries to the airport. After that we welcomed 10 new missionaries into the mission, and showed them around a little. We met with president and assigned them trainers, then did an orientation. The Governor decided to put Idaho on Shelter and Stay, so we knew if we were going to have transfers it would have to be super soon, and really small... so... he decided to do transfers the next day, and have everyone meet up with their new comps at different locations. We stayed up until midnight finalizing the details for that. 
 
Thursday: Woke up at 4, dropped off more departing missionaries, then went to the office. Finished up the details for transfers, and sent it out. Then got to work on the behind the scenes paperwork for transfers. Some missionaries needed help out in Rigby, so we drove out there, and then took an hour long drive out to Terreton from there. Terreton was gorgeous. We drove back down and helped make sure all the new missionaries were settled, and the next departing group knew the info they needed. 
 
Friday: Woke up at 4 to take more missionaries to the airport. Finished up transfer paperwork, then dropped off Elder Findlay at the airport. That one hurt. He was the only one that I cried for. It was really sad. Got back to work, and started working on details for the firesides we do as a mission, and the devotionals we have as a mission. Finished that, and got home in time to go to bed around 10:15. It was nice. 
 
Saturday: We thought it would be a normal day, but we had to drive down to Shelley, then Blackfoot, then up again. We had to move some missionaries around because we found out we will soon be losing Elder Perrett. He's from Australia, and is one AMAZING missionary. I'm going to cry when he leaves too. We got some proselyting time in during the afternoon, then had some more paperwork heaped on us that evening. 
 
Sunday: Normal day. It was awesome. And by normal I mean we were quarantined... but still. 

So yep. This week FLEEEEWWWW by. It was crazy. I learned that we need to rely on the Lord in everything that we do, and to trust Him. He knows a lot more than us. Overall it was a great week, and I'm excited to learn how to use technology to bring people to Christ. It's a lot harder than going out there and talking to people, but it's possible, and we've seen some cool miracles already. 
Don't freak out too much, don't focus on things you can't control. Just focus on coming closer to Christ everyday, and don't sweat the stuff that's out of reach. 
I love each of you so much and am so grateful for your support. Y'all are amazing! 
 
-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 ...
