Did Dad powder his hair or something in those photos?

Hey all!

I can't believe school's already out again! It seems like yesterday we were just starting summer again. I really can barely believe how fast the time's going by. I've already been gone for 9 months! If I was a sister missionary I'd be halfway done, that's not ok!

Also, all of you except mom are looking older! What happened to your hair Dad? It looks really white in the photo with mom, in all the others it looks darker. 

I saw on facebook that Grandma and Grandpa's anniversary was coming up too, Davy invited me to it, haha. I was really tempted to put "going" or something, but I thought that would probably not be very dignified, and more than a little confusing. Let me know how it goes!

This week was really fun. We had Leadership Conference on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. We drove down to Halifax for it with Elders Ablett and Sawa Sawa. But it was amazing, I learned so much. I wish everyone could have gotten to go. It was also kinda sad because it was the last conferences President and Sister Pratt are in charge of. They have another conference June 10 in Newfoundland, Elder Bednar is coming to Newfoundland to release President Pratt as the mission president there, and so they have that, and possibly they'll come to one last zone conference, but then they're gone! I'm going to be pretty sad, cause the Pratts are the best! I'm excited to meet President Low though. 

Because that ate up a lot of our time, I don't have too much more about our week. The branch had a talent show that we missed! We heard it was super awesome, but didn't get to see it! 

There was also a funeral on Wednesday that Elder Pierson and I played the piano at. It also snowed Wednesday. So there's that. 

Today we went down to Miramichi and played mini golf with the Elders and sisters there. It was a lot of fun, but it's also a little sad, cause the Miramichi sisters are closing down, so this is their last week here. After that, I don't know what's going to happen to my district, because it will just be us and Miramichi elders, so it will be the smallest district in the mission. Technically we have a senior couple, but they're in Halifax, because another couple didn't come out on their mission or something. They might be coming back soon, but we really don't know. 

We had a technology blitz as a mission, (so every one was using technology to try to find people) and our district did the best! We got a trophy for it, haha! We've seen a lot of success using it though, we found a new investigator through Facebook and have started meeting with him. His name is Yanik. He's actually a pretty good friend of Alex's, and Alex has been an amazing friend in helping Yanik learn about the gospel. 

Tommy's been out of town for a while, ever since we left for Halifax, so we're going to see him tomorrow when he gets back. Tanya was gone too, she was with family in Moncton. Xavier is going to be meeting with Elders Sawa Sawa and Kearsley in person, because they're at Saint-Pierre for the week! And with Betty, we're hoping to see her Friday, because she cancelled our lesson on Sunday. 

Love you all so much! I did get my package, the shirts are perfect! Enjoy the first week of summer!

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

Rundown for this week

Hey everybody, Glad to hear that things are going good back home. I'll try to answer the questions as best I can.  Did you get your package before you left your last area? No. I still haven't gotten it. This is one of the reasons I thought sending it to Erich would have been better, because other missionaries don't care as much about other people's stuff. Caribou lost my package, and then found it in Woodstock,  (NO IDEA how it got there) we tried to get it as we drove past going to transfers, but Woodstock elders weren't at their apartment, they were at Houlton WITH my package.  I assume I should sent packages to the mission office now? Yes. Send it to the mission office.  Tell us all about your new area.  Do you have investigators there? Tell us about them... Bathurst is super awesome. I love Bathurst. We have three investigators who are going to get baptized this transfer, and they are the best. They're names at Nik, Rachelle and Tommy. ...

Crazyness

Wow, hello everybody! This last week's been absolutely crazy. First off, I'm getting transferred to Bathurst, I'll be serving with Elder Boardman, he's from Holladay too, we're super excited! I was also called to be the French district leader, so I'll be working on training for the French missionaries too. Really looking forward to it! Second off, the French temple trip. Holy cow, best part of my life. Long story though. To start, Elder Greenburg and I had to drive separately from the other missionaries. They were taking two members, Anik and Renaud, to Mirimichi, where they met more members there to take the members the rest of the way. They picked up Elder Boardman there as well, and came the rest of the way down. On the other hand, Elder Greenburg and I went to Fredericton, picked up Sister King and her harp, and drove with her all the way to Halifax. When we got to Truro, we got this HUGE storm. It was absolutely crazy, people were sliding off t...
