Transfers

Hey everybody! 

Well, I'm glad to hear that you had a good week Mom. Not going to lie though, you're a nerd. Or a teenage girl. I do not get the hype. I'm sure it's good, but I think I'm on dad's side. If only you prayed as hard for the Utes as you did to get those tickets... (To Hamilton :)

Also, sounds like there's a pretty good season so far for polo. Keep up the updates! Nice job Boo and Ains! You guys are going to be way better than me!

This last week's been pretty awesome. It is transfers this week, and Elder Boardman is leaving. He's going to Dartmouth, he's going to be an online finding leader, and basically teach the mission how to use Facebook better, which is pretty sick. I'm staying here, which I'm pretty happy about, Bathurst is super awesome. My new companion is Elder Pierson, which is pretty exciting. He's a good missionary, and we're going to get some work done! 

Also, some really good news. Nick is doing a lot better! He had to go to the hospital this week, but it helped him a LOT! He's feeling a lot better. He is still in the hospital, but they let him come out from 4 to 8 weekdays, and 12 to 6 weekends, which is awesome! We were able to go over last night and see him again, Elder Boardman got to say goodbye, which we were worried that we might not be able to do that. 

We got back to Bathurst Thursday afternoon. We dropped off Elder Greenburg in St. Quentin with Edmundston, and then finally got back to our area. Despite the long time out, we saw a lot of miracles this last week.

For example, Rachelle and Nick needed a new table, theirs broke, and they gave us a call. Now, Elder Boardman has had things miraculously appear on the road when people needed it, and we were definitely keeping our eyes open for one. We didn't find one on our drive, but the next day we sent a message to Pres. Edwards, to see if he knew where we could get one. He called us right back, and told us that we must be "incredibly lucky" because he was getting rid of one, and was just about to put it online to sell.

We found some new cool gators. Allen and Reg. Allen is an old fisherman, and loves to talk. He met missionaries in the past. Reg is someone we found close by, who told us he might be interested in coming to church. Neither of them made it, but we had a good lesson with Allen the other day. 

We put Tanya on date for June 16th, and she's super solid. She came to institute last night, and really liked it. She thought the members were super kind (they are) and that when she came, she just had this big feeling of peace. She's pretty excited for church, so it will be cool to see her there. 

Tommy's moved into his new place, and we've been helping him move in. We fixed Nick and Rachelle's old table, and gave it to him. We also got a sofa from Pres. Edwards, and moved it to Tommy's place. He's becoming a lot more independent, which is super good. He's going to start the stop smoking program again, as soon as Nick's back out of the hospital.

Anyway. Big week. In other news, IT WAS 23°C YESTERDAY!!!!!! IT WAS SO OK NICE! I'm going to need some short sleeve white shirts too! 

I saw in my drafts that I didn't send those photos, so I'll send those as well today. There are some pretty dang gorgeous photos. (He didn't send them.)

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

Crazyness

Wow, hello everybody! This last week's been absolutely crazy. First off, I'm getting transferred to Bathurst, I'll be serving with Elder Boardman, he's from Holladay too, we're super excited! I was also called to be the French district leader, so I'll be working on training for the French missionaries too. Really looking forward to it! Second off, the French temple trip. Holy cow, best part of my life. Long story though. To start, Elder Greenburg and I had to drive separately from the other missionaries. They were taking two members, Anik and Renaud, to Mirimichi, where they met more members there to take the members the rest of the way. They picked up Elder Boardman there as well, and came the rest of the way down. On the other hand, Elder Greenburg and I went to Fredericton, picked up Sister King and her harp, and drove with her all the way to Halifax. When we got to Truro, we got this HUGE storm. It was absolutely crazy, people were sliding off t...

Q & A

Questions we asked this week: Ainsley says, "Does he still remember us?" haha What are the highlights of your week? What are your insights on ministering? What's the schedule coming up, so we can be aware? How was the conference with Elder Haynie? Why haven't you sent any photos lately?????? Hey all, It's been a busy week again, LOTS of travel. We went down to Halifax on Wednesday, stayed in Moncton for the night, and had Zone Conference on Thursday. So we were out of town for quite a while, but they were pretty good meetings.  First, MLC. We didn't do a lot, we pretty much told Elder Haynie what our mission was like so he could know what to do and say for the conferences. He was super suprised at how obedient our mission was. He kept asking if there were little groups of Elders who would heckle, or be disobedient, etc... and he was amazed at how that's not a problem. He was also pretty impressed by how hard working our mission was. We ...
