First full week

Crazy to think I've only been here for a week and 2 days! Its been really good so far. First, yes, I have been reading your emails, and will continue to, we've just had a full week and I don't always have time every day, but I will always read them before P-day. Second, yes, I saw the eclipse, it was very cool. Lots of people brought eclipse glasses, and they let us use them. You should have seen the crowd of people outside on the grass looking at it, cause it happened right after all of the classes ended. Third, I haven't seen Jonas yet, I've been looking, but I have seen Jake Pingree, Zach Ipsen, Cspill, Peter O'Brien, Jake Ference, and lots of other elders. Miss all of you, but I've been having a good time.
Next, Mom's been asking for my schedule, but it's not that interesting. I wake up 6:30, take a shower, get ready, and go get breakfast (except P-day). Then, depending on the day, we either have study time, class, or service. Then we have like 30 mins. to read scriptures, do companion study, or language study, its just up to you. Then we'll get lunch, drop by the mail room (cause Elder Hable is the DL) and head to lunch. After lunch we either teach our "investigator" Jean-Baptiste and then have exercise time, or we have exercise and then teach Jean-Baptiste. It's been really good though, we committed him to baptism a few days ago, and he accepted. Exercise time I've been playing a lot of basketball. Most people are really good, or at least better than me. There was a guy who played ball for Southern Virginia University, and he was insanely good. What was cooler was that we beat his team 11-9! P-day we go to the temple early, wake up at 5:50 and head for the first sess. Then, head back to the room, clean up, go to exercise time, and right now I'm emailing you as my laundry is running (they have computers next to the laundry stuff). I can play the piano during study time, so I was playing and and Elder Cox, Elder McDougal, Soeur Tway and Soeur Thornley came in and just started asking me to play hymns, it was really cool and spiritual. But send me my music!!!! I want the There is a Green Hill Far Away, my classical stuff, Claire de Lune, Libestraum. Also, feel free to send treats, gum, whatever too. This week we also memorized the Missionary purpose, the first vision, the baptismal invitation all in french. Lots of work!
Thanks for the emails though! It's been nice to hear from home, and I'm glad Nessie's doing good. I definitely miss having my dog with me. Thanks for the talks, and for the notes, that's really cool to have! I love all of you guys!

A semaine prochaine!

Fewer days than Boo has years...

Hey all, Sorry if this one's the shortest yet. We're busy picking up the new missionaries, and the schedule has been crazy lately. Monday and Tuesday we had to create a system for everyone to get transferred, and then to transfer them all. We spent 24 hours planning, it was crazy. I've loved my mission. It's been so amazing. I wish I had more time, but there is more to do. I'm excited to see you all.  One of my favorite scriptures in the Book of Mormon on my mission has been 3 Nephi 5:13. "Behold, I am a disciple of Jesus Christ, the Son of God. I have been called of him to declare his word among his people, that they might have everlasting life." I can testify that sharing his word brings us joy too. Love you all. See you later! Elder Marsh

Hello from France!

Hey everybody!  Sorry for the confusion last week. I didn't get to read your email before I sent mine, but I was able to read it really quick before p day ended, because we were at the church. To explain, the method we had was different in Edmundston than in Bathurst. At Edmundston, we had internet all the time, and a laptop. In Bathurst, no such luck. The only time I have internet is at the church. So to give you the cut off time, we leave the church  Monday  at 2 (our time) so as long as you write before then, I can see it. Otherwise, I'll only have what's already on my phone to read. Also, thanks so much to the Barnes! I loved your little Easter package and notes. You guys are the best! This last week has been crazy!!! Since last p day a ton has gone down.  Thursday  night, we started the stop smoking program with Tommy. Tommy's a beast, hes been making so much progress, it's insane. We had our exchange with Miramichi elders this last week, El...

Sorry this is a short one

Good Morning America! (Or Canada. or Vietnam. Guess it depends on where you live, or if you're old enough for that joke.) Man, do I miss basketball and football. Super excited to hear some more details! I didn't even realize that the PAC 12 playoffs are starting. Not only that, March Madness is going to be getting going too. Hopefully the Utes will follow the pattern and play their best basketball while there's a Marsh on a mission. Also super excited to hear about the spring football starting. Posters look sick for Boo's campaign. I'd vote for him. Especially if the Rock, Thor, and Will Smith are. They must know how to vote, so I should do the same! And his hair is real! Obvious choice. Hope you kill it Boo. It sounds like you've had a super fun week though. The RootsTech sounds like it was super awesome. We have had a chance to watch just a little bit of it here, and it looks like there have been a lot of really cool speakers. Miss the Polo...
