Wow



We got a very short email this week, just a note to say he'd arrived. A couple of the senior missionary sisters sent a little more info and some photos as well, bless them. :)

Sorry I didn’t get to talk again later to everyone, we barely got through customs in time to get on our flight. (Robbie called for a few minutes from the airport in Salt Lake, and thought he might be able to call again during their layover in Toronto.)  It really made me grateful for what Dad did in Paris. Anyway, I’m here, I’m safe, I’m having a blast. We went contacting and we had some cool stories. Write more later.
Love Elder Marsh
P.S. This is one of the AP’s iPad, I won’t be able to read emails until pday.


Elder Marsh looks happy and excited and we are so happy to have him here! I don’t know if I’m allowed to tell you where he is going, but I don’t see the harm in you knowing. He will be in a trio in Edmunston New Brunswick. Edmunston is a wonderful town, very French, they currently do not have a branch there but missionaries and members are working hard. His companions I think are Elder Carlson and Elder Legault, but I am not 100% sure. I know he’s in a trio though with the Zone Leaders out there! They will leave for their areas tomorrow I believe, again, not sure. Today they will have lots of training, and then they go out contacting in the evening. We are excited to have Elder Marsh in our mission!


Thank you for the email – we are delighted to have Elder Marsh.  He is fun and outgoing right from the first day- a very likeable Elder.  They had their training here, spent one more night at the Mission home and went to their areas on Thursday. Elder Marsh has gone to Edmundston, New Brunswick where he will be sharing an apartment with 4 other elders.  The apartment is nice and has a modern washer and drying which the missionaries love to have for convenience and to save the cost of paying for laundry.  He is with an awesome group and while Edmundston branch is very small, they are having a lot of success there and are teaching.  Edmundston is VERY French, so he is in a great area to strengthen his French language skills.  The town is right on the US border.  Part of Maine is in our Mission so he will be crossing the border frequently.  So the fun has begun for him.I am sure he will be great!  We already love him!

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...
