Merry Christmas!

Hello everybody!
I have a couple questions this week. First, did you read what Boo wrote on the Christmas card? (Liked the picture by the way.) If so, why on earth would you send that to me?  I don't appreciate the spoilers. Because now if they are real, then I already know and I really didn't want that spoiled, and if they're not true, then if you email me and tell me they're not true, that would actually spoil the movie! It's a lose-lose situation for me. I guess the best I can do is hope Boo enjoys the pain and suffering he has caused me, that scruffy little nerf herder. (Joey wrote some fake Star Wars spoilers...we wrote back so Robbie knows the card was sent before the movie even came out 😉).

Second, where is Bro. Hyde going on his mission?!?!?! That's an awful cliffhanger! (This is a couple in our ward, I thought I had already told Robbie this news...they are called as the secretary and assistant secretary to the Asia Area Presidency.)

Anyway, we've had a pretty busy week! There was a baptism this Saturday, his name is Renault, he was one of E. Smith's and E. Boardman's investigators, and he's awesome. Renault and his friend Romeo have the missionaries over for dinner all the time, sometimes we get to go too, if we are doing service for them. It was really awesome, it was totally in French, which was sweet. Philip came to the baptism, and to church the next day, and that was really awesome. I think he's pretty excited about getting baptized, but he was pretty sad that Elder Legault was leaving. I do think he'll get baptized this coming month though, so that should be really cool.

It was definitely weird to send off E. Legault. On Saturday we were at the Pitre's for service and dinner, and we burned Elder Legault's suit and Elder Boardman's shirt. (At 6 month, year mark, 18 month, and 2 years you burn different items of clothing.) We drove him to Fredericton Sunday. Weird to think that right now he is home, probably watching Star Wars. It's ok though. I've been working with Elder Boardman and Smith, and we've been having a great time. We've been working hard, and have been trying to do work in both of the areas. 

Speaking of, I guess you didn't understand what I was talking about for the transfer. It doesn't END till the 24th, but we transfer on Thursday. So tonight Elder Smith, Boardman and I will be driving to Fredericton. I will be serving with Elder Greenburg, and am really looking forward to that! I've heard that he's an awesome missionary, and he's insane at learning languages. We're going to have a good transfer! Elder Smith is going to be training a new missionary, Elder Pierson.

Q: The photos that Dennis Jagoda posted of zone conference looked like they were taken in a regular LDS chapel...where is that? Is that your stake center?
A: Zone Conference for New Brunswick is held in Moncton. It's about 3h40 minutes away. We hold stake conference in Fredericton. It's kinda weird, but Fredericton is the closest for everybody, even though it's the Saint John Stake. 

Sorry I have to go again. I hope you all enjoy the Christmas holidays starting tomorrow. Sorry I didn't get to send my christmas gifts. I was going to go to the mail to send them, but Elder Legault needed to pack. Looking forward to speaking with you! Love you all.

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...
