Transfers!!!

Hello! 

HAPPY BIRTHDAY Ellie!!!!! I hope you had a great one! 

So yes, I got transfered!! I'm going to Fredericton with Elder Olsen. We're going to be zone leaders, and I'm super excited!! Elder Olsen is one of my favorite elders, so we're going to be having a great time! They closed down Dieppe, so there are only two French areas now, Edmundston and Bathurst. Elder Smith went to Bathurst. The French areas are in New Brunswick, but the majority of the areas are English (like mine). 

I had a pretty good week. Deji got baptized!!!!! It was so, so cool. I was one of the elders who found him, and I had a chance to teach him on exchanges. Then Sunday was really good too. 

I'm doing really good health wise! I've had no problems.

We found someone pretty cool. Her name is Monica, we found her through Facebook. We're going to teach her again tonight. 

I liked going to the zoo a lot. We have played Settlers of Catan a lot together, except it's a special kind, called Canaan, another one called Zarahemla, that's been fun. 

I already know my release date. its Aug. 2, 2019. They put it on your ministerial certificate. 

But yea, I'm having a good time. We had exchanges this week with the Zone Leaders. We did it so we could go to a funeral, and I could play the piano and Elder Carlson could sing. It turned out well, we found some less actives to work with through it. 

We also made a ward mission plan with the bishop, and it is really good! It is going to really change this ward for the better. 

Funny story too, so this lady just showed up to church this Sunday, and of course we sat next to her. We got to know her a bit, and found out she's not a member, and was living in the "home" right across the street, and decided to start coming. Well, we got excited about that, and so we asked for her number and set up a time to come by again. Little did we know, she's not fully there, and the "home" across the street was actually a care center. So we got there and she had been talking to everyone else how she has this date with two guys, and they wanted her number, and on and on about us. So once we figured out that her elevator doesn't go all the way to the top, we got outta there pretty quick.

Thanks again. I love you all so so much!

Yes, it was Zone Conference

Salut tout le monde! Sorry that I didn't send that schedule again. I'm surprised they don't post that on the facebook page for all the parents. It's hard for me to remember that when you're not living your life 6 weeks at a time you don't normally keep track of when "week 2" is, so I'm sorry. I'll try to make sure to say in the email the week before anything like that happens.  I'm glad that you had a good week. Women's conference sounds like it was pretty nice. I know what you mean when you talked about having very crazy weeks! Also, I'm super jealous of being able to go see Avengers, even if the ending was bad. I keep seeing posters for it everywhere, and I'm pretty curious as how they made the whole connection to Guardians. But I guess I'll find out in 450ish days. (That gives me chills, agh!) I'm looking forward to  Sunday  too! You guys have church at 10 right? There is a  ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ >...

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
