Hey all

Hey all,

Dang, the Utes lost! That just sucks. 

It's a good thing that we didn't use all of our time to email in the morning. I was going to just send an email this week with that and probably something about how you have no excuses because I sent you my schedule, and you didn't even write to me. Good thing for you that President Edwards ended up needing some help, and we delayed some of our time. (but for the future, there's no excuse for you anyway. You can write anytime during the week, I only get the one day. At least you know that you'll always get one. I haven't seen the same reliability...haha)

Answers to questions:

Did you get to watch conference? Where? What did you think about conference and the big changes?

Anyway, yes, I got to watch conference. Not the Priesthood session, but we'll watch that as a branch another time. It was soo awesome. I love General Conference so much! And talk about a bunch of crazy new changes. The Solemn Assembly was really cool, the changes with ministering, and the big finish with the Temples! We watched Saturday and Sunday morning at the church, and Sunday afternoon at the Edwards. 

Nik, Rachelle and their kids watched the Sunday Morning conference at the Edwards, and they had a good time. We went and had and an early dinner with them after. They had to leave after, they couldn't stay for the second part, but we watched the end with the Edwards. 

How old are Nik, Rachelle and their kids and Tommy? Do they have a baptismal date?

Nik and Rachelle are mid 30s, I would guess. Gabriel, 11, is Nik's son from a previous relationship. He's so funny, he LOVES potatoes. Marie Soleil is 9, she is super funny too. She reminds me of Ainsley. She watches netflix on a phone with big headphones, is pretty dramatic, but super funny. They are such an awesome family. Nik and Rachelle are on date for the 20th, Gabriel can't get baptized yet, because it's very sensitive between Nik and his mom, if Gabriel got baptized, he probably wouldn't be allowed to come over anymore. Marie Soleil could be baptized, but we're just focusing on Nik and Rachelle right now. 

Where does Andy Williams live? He replied to my post on the parent/member facebook group last week saying that you did have zone conference on Tuesday, and he said "awesome crew to say the least...loved it!" From what I can gather by other comments from parents, he is a ward mission leader and is great at taking care of the missionaries.

Bro Williams is in Moncton. He's awesome. When we found that Mexican place, we were actually with him, we took him to get his very first Mexican food! He really is awesome, it will be fun to work more with him if I ever end up in Dieppe or Moncton. 

How come you're going with Elder Greenburg instead of Elder Boardman? 

I'm going with Elder Greenburg because we were the ones who taught them the most. President Pratt specifically requested that it be that way. It makes planning a little harder, but definitely worth it. 

Love you guys! Hope things keep on going good. Also, Mom, when you say "cool" and that you're shivering, what kinda temp. are you talking? Because you sit and shiver if it's 70 outside. You wouldn't like it here. We're finally going to have a week where it's only freezing, from what it seems.

Love, 
Elder Marsh

P.S. Super awesome sunsets we saw. And the ocean. Who says you can't walk on water?

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...
