Elder Robbie Marsh

Robbie ran out of time to email, but sent videos, so we are the ones who got a birthday present as he celebrated turning 20 today. :) Unfortunately only one of them was under the max of 100mb size for blogger. :( Here it is:

Hey all! So yea, Pres. Low did kinda steal my thunder for this week's email. I asked the surgeons to take a photo with my appendix, but they didn't. Bummer.  For those confused, this Thursday I had appendicitis. I woke up Thursday morning with stomach pain. It hurt, but it was kinda like when I would wake up and I didn't eat something. But I figured out pretty soon that it wasn't just stomach pain, it got pretty bad and I couldn't even really sit up. The pain started making me sick, and I was having chills, so I would alternate between laying in bed with lots of blankets to the bathroom floor, next to the toilet. We decided to go to the hospital as soon as the other elders got back so I could have a blessing (cause while this whole thing was going on, it was transfers too...) So we went to the hospital around 11:30ish, and waited there till around 8:30 to get to see the doctor. That was brutal. I started throwing up halfway through because of the pain, so I...

Hey everyone! It is transfers this week, sorry to make ya freak out about not getting emails. It's hard for me to realize that it's hard for you guys to remember that at least every six weeks I email on Wednesday. So I'm sorry.  This week has been a lot of fun though! Transfers is like Christmas every six weeks, its super exciting. I am staying here in Dieppe again, with Elder Smith. Elder Sawa-Sawa is going to Halifax to be the new AP, and Elder Carlson is replacing him as Elder Day's companion! I'm very excited to be working around him again! I'll have a lot of the same people I started my mission with around me.  Elder Smith has just under a year, he hit his year mark this transfer. He's only one transfer ahead of me, we were both being trained in Edmundston together, if you remember that long ago. Elder Sawa-Sawa had three months left, Elder Day has four I think. This is Elder Carlson's last transfer, so just a month and a half for him! ...

Hey all, I sent my photos first, I took a hint from you and made sure to send those. You aren't kidding, you had a busy week! I'm a little jealous of Boo getting to go to JO's, that sounds like a lot of fun. And of course I knew all those players, I played with them, lol. Missing out on the World Cup, I wish I could watch all these games. Thanks for the updates dad, I did get them. For the books, I don't think I'd really reccomend them. I did read them, but I don't really remember them. Maybe they're good, but they sure didn't stand out. I'd love to hear updates about England, tell me all about it. Buckingham Palace and Parliament sound like they're going to be awesome! If you're there, and you happen to come across a John Ablett at church or something, make sure to say hello. He is a missionary here, and he's super awesome. He goes home this next transfer, so you might run into him.  We had a pretty good week! We had our exch...

Hey everybody!  I'm glad to hear that Girl's Camp was such a success! It's really weird for me to think that this year's already past the halfway mark. It's going by too fast! Don't scare me by talking about summer jobs.  Also, I'm jealous of missing dad's lesson. I really love the stories of David, Jonathan and Saul! I think Jonathan is probably one of the greatest examples in the Old Testament of righteousness and loyalty. Would have been nice to talk about it! I've been loving the warm weather. It's been so nice. This whole week is supposed to be quite hot! The bugs are definitely out though. It's almost like a lose-lose, you can either choose freezing cold weather or actually nice, with a lot of bugs! (Think I still prefer the summer though.)  This week's been pretty good! We had a busy week, lots of work. We've met quite a few of really cool less actives this week that we've started working with, because they...
