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

Working hard

Hey all, It’s been a great week in Montreal. Literally it’s been the busiest time on my mission. Maybe some more experienced people in life could tell me, but it seems to me that the longer you live, the busier you get. That’s how my mission has been at least. Because we have a four man companionship, we almost kinda feel like we have superpowers, because we can be in two places at once! Thank goodness we’ve had that, because I do not know how anyone could do what we’ve done without it. We most days both teams teach all day. We have 5 people preparing for baptism this Saturday, so between them, our other on dates, progressing friends, recent converts, and mission merge business, it’s been pretty full.  I’m grateful for a little quote dad had sent me at the start of my mission. I’m glad I feel like up to now, I’ve left it all in the pool, so to speak. I’m definitely going to keep it up. Nothing is more rewarding than serving our Heavenly Father.  Heres some advice I have [f

Montréal

Hey all, Congrats Boo! I’m so happy you went to the temple. Wish I coulda been there for it, but that’s so cool. The temple’s been a big blessing to me on my mission, so I hope you get to go some more.  So my week. Soooo crazy. Thursday we flew over to Montréal .  Sad to say goodbye to everyone, but we were pretty excited. We arrived and met President Philips and the assistants. The assistants here are Elder Wilson and Elder Newman. Elder Wilson was in the MTC with me, and Elder Newman went to Olympus! So that was pretty cool. They’re both super awesome. Very hard workers. We got straight to work together.  What we do is we split into two teams in the morning, just rotating who we’re with, and then going out and working. Our area is crazy busy. We’re both normally out teaching most of the day, we get a lot of work done together. We work in one of the English wards, and so we work with a lot of immigrants, which is really fun. The people are so humble and ready, it’s really
