Not 114 degrees

Hey everyone!

Glad to hear you had a fun week down south. 114°F is crazy! That is about 5 degrees away from being twice as hot as the high for today here in Canada! I don't know how I'm going to be able to handle the heat when I get back, I'll be so adjusted to Canada that I'll be melting above 70. (Although, there's been a couple days where I wished for just five minutes in that kinda heat!) The weather here is nice now though. 

Congrats to Harley! Norway is going to be sick! The mission is super awesome, I'm really excited for you! 

Also, I hope you saw the photos. Did the Google photos sharing work?

This week was pretty good! We had zone conference this last week, and said goodbye to the Pratts. It was sad, but it was a very uplifting meeting. The Pratts explained what'd going to happen over the next week as President Low comes in. There were some good trainings too!

The other Elders are Elder Sawa-Sawa and Elder Day. They're also the Zone leaders, which is pretty fun. So with that, and because they also have people who speak French, we work with them a lot. And then my comp is Elder Smith. The same from Edmundston, so it's lots of fun. 

There were some changes to Preach My Gospel too! It's really cool, there's a lot of good new quotes from President Nelson, as well as it talks a lot about the Doctrine of Christ, and how we can teach it better! Really good stuff, I highly recommend that you study it!

We spent a lot of time finding this week, and we taught Megan, one of our investigators. She came to church this week too! She's getting ready to be baptized for July 28th, so I'll have a good best day of the year dad!

I love you all! Have a really good week! Sorry this is short!!!!

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

Rundown for this week

Hey everybody, Glad to hear that things are going good back home. I'll try to answer the questions as best I can.  Did you get your package before you left your last area? No. I still haven't gotten it. This is one of the reasons I thought sending it to Erich would have been better, because other missionaries don't care as much about other people's stuff. Caribou lost my package, and then found it in Woodstock,  (NO IDEA how it got there) we tried to get it as we drove past going to transfers, but Woodstock elders weren't at their apartment, they were at Houlton WITH my package.  I assume I should sent packages to the mission office now? Yes. Send it to the mission office.  Tell us all about your new area.  Do you have investigators there? Tell us about them... Bathurst is super awesome. I love Bathurst. We have three investigators who are going to get baptized this transfer, and they are the best. They're names at Nik, Rachelle and Tommy. ...

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...
