Elder Robbie Marsh

Hello!  HAPPY BIRTHDAY Ellie!!!!! I hope you had a great one!  So yes, I got transfered!! I'm going to Fredericton with Elder Olsen. We're going to be zone leaders, and I'm super excited!! Elder Olsen is one of my favorite elders, so we're going to be having a great time! They closed down Dieppe, so there are only two French areas now, Edmundston and Bathurst. Elder Smith went to Bathurst. The French areas are in New Brunswick, but the majority of the areas are English (like mine).  I had a pretty good week. Deji got baptized!!!!! It was so, so cool. I was one of the elders who found him, and I had a chance to teach him on exchanges. Then Sunday was really good too.  I'm doing really good health wise! I've had no problems. We found someone pretty cool. Her name is Monica, we found her through Facebook. We're going to teach her again tonight.  I liked going to the zoo a lot. We have played Settlers of Catan a lot together, except it

Hey mom, Sorry, I did another video, but I guess it didn't send. You were right, because we were at the zoo, we didn't have time to write.  How was your past couple of weeks? Who are you teaching now and how is it going?   My last couple weeks were pretty good. It's been a lot of work, but I've been enjoying it. We have been out finding a lot. We are only teaching one person right now, Wendy. She was out of town for the last two Sundays, but she seems to enjoy meeting with us. I hope she is actually interested in continuing.  Have you kept in touch with people (members, investigators, missionaries) from previous areas? I have kept in contact with a few people. Rachelle, the Dyvrandes. I'll keep in contact with a few people from here too. All of my companions have been awesome, and I've kept pretty good contact with them.  What are you most grateful for after one year on your mission?   It's very hard to say what I'm most grateful fo

Another week with no email! Robbie sent photos and videos, I'm posting the ones that are small enough.

Short email today...he mostly answered a few of these questions: What are your social media rules? What's the ceremony to mark one year in your mission? What differences have you noticed between your new mission president and your old one? How are your investigators doing?  Have you picked up any Spanish? :) What percentage of missionaries in your mission are really hard working and what are the craziest stories you've heard about missionaries? (Tonight at dinner we were talking about some of the wilder stories from our missions, like the elders on Shetland in dad's mission who grew beards and got busted because their faces were sunburned on the top but white where they had shaved, haha.) What are you most grateful for after one year on your mission? What are the biggest lessons you've learned this past year? Did you get your birthday package yet? (And I guess related, when is zone conference?) Hey all! Thanks so much everyone for the birthday wishes!
