SORRY!!!

Hey mom,

Sorry, I did another video, but I guess it didn't send. You were right, because we were at the zoo, we didn't have time to write. 

How was your past couple of weeks? Who are you teaching now and how is it going? 
My last couple weeks were pretty good. It's been a lot of work, but I've been enjoying it. We have been out finding a lot. We are only teaching one person right now, Wendy. She was out of town for the last two Sundays, but she seems to enjoy meeting with us. I hope she is actually interested in continuing. 

Have you kept in touch with people (members, investigators, missionaries) from previous areas?
I have kept in contact with a few people. Rachelle, the Dyvrandes. I'll keep in contact with a few people from here too. All of my companions have been awesome, and I've kept pretty good contact with them. 

What are you most grateful for after one year on your mission? 
It's very hard to say what I'm most grateful for. There's been a lot of things. Warm clothes during the winter. Good friends. The spirit. But probably the thing I'm most greatful for is the Book of Mormon. I've really seen how important it is in my life. It has brought me a lot of comfort. 

What is the craziest experience you've had? The best experience?
I've had some pretty crazy things happen, I doubt I could even pick one! But probably the best thing that has happened to me is being a part of the Dyvrandes sealing. 

Love you!

Elder Marsh

Got my travel plans!

Bonjour tout le monde!        This has been a crazy week! We've been super busy with lessons, we have had two or three lessons a day, and lots of really good devotionals.  On Sunday , we had Chad Lewis come and talk, and that was really cool. He talked about his mission, his career, his chance to do this hike up Kilimanjaro with a bunch of wounded soldiers from Iraq, kinda all over the place. It was more like a slide show than the kind of devotionals before. It was still good, but I definitely preferred Elder Oaks. We watched A Consecrated Missionary, by Tad Callister, for our film after, it was really good. I really love the  Sunday  films, gunna miss that in the field.         I also finally meet some other people going to Halifax! There are 4 sisters, and one other Elder, I'll be flying out with them on the 26th. I'm pretty sure I get to call you guys before I leave the airport on my flight, but I think they talk about t...

First few days!

First few days are down, and it's going good! When I got here I went straight to a lesson in French, and six hours of lessons later I'm supposed to teach a lesson in complete French to an investigator, write a talk in French, and memorize the missionary purpose statement.  Our zone has about 60 missionaries, most speaking French, going to Lyon, France, but some to Paris as well. There are a lot of Haitian Creole speaking missionaries, and some Malagasy speaking missionaries as well. Two are going to New Caledonia (discussed below). I'm the only one going to Canada, let alone going to Halifax.         My companion is Elder Hable (like table but with an H) and he's really good. He's going to New Caledonia, which is by Australia. He took French for 6 years, and he's by far the best of our district so far. He likes baseball, favorite team is the Red Sox, so that's a plus, (Raelene) and is really kind to everyone. He got made the District leader last night, s...

Transfers!

Hey all, Happy Father's day! Hope you had a good one dad + grandpa's. I didn't know if you would've wanted to waste part of your trip to DC calling me, so I didn't try calling. Besides, I want you all to actually be glad I'm home when I get back.  So you're right, my p-day does get messed up because of transfers, but the majority of it was on Monday (not Tuesday) and the rest today (Wednesday). It's ok though because I do have enough time to write some. (This whole week has been so busy I don't even know if I could include everything that's gone down.) We'll start with zone conference. Elder Hamilton didn't have enough time in his schedule to go to Newfoundland, and so we combined the Newfoundland and Nova Scotia zone conference. It was really good, Elder and Sister Hamilton gave some fantastic training, as well as President and Sister Low. I don't know if I've told you about this, but in our zone conferences we normal...
