Still no snow on my end

Questions we asked:
  • How's it going with Wendy, Jacob and Brendan? 
  • Any new investigators?
  • How's it going with Elder Pitcher?
  • Are you still a ZL?
  • How was your week?
  • Do you have the chance to exercise and play the piano there?
  • Are you brushing and flossing at least twice a day? 
  • What are you thinking career wise? You said that observing your mission presidents had given you insight on that...

 Hey all,

Glad to hear things are going well back home. Funny that you should bring up taxes, there is a YSA member here who just came up from Texas, and during our lesson he kept talking about how ridiculous the taxes are here compared to back in the states. He's originally from here, but he goes to school there and is back while they figure out his visa stuff. He joined the Church down there, going on to show that America is the promised land! 

Things are going well on my end. Still no snow, although there's a lot of wind now, and it's getting colder. The wind's a bad sign, but for now all we have is rain. 

Brendan is going to the temple this weekend, which will be really cool. We haven't been able to meet with Wendy or Jacob since writing, but things are still going good with them. 

No new investigators yet. We've had a promising start to the week though, and have a few potentials lined up with lessons, so that's pretty nice. 

It's been going well with Elder Pitcher. He's a funny guy. He's super loving, which is really cool to see. We have some different perspectives on a lot of things, but it's cool because we learn a lot from each other. 

Yeah, I'm still a Zone Leader. 

Lets see, this week has been pretty good. We had stake conference, which was pretty neat. It kinda stinks that we went back to back without the sacrament, but it was a really good conference. President Low spoke at it, and talked about missionary work, and he really encouraged the members to do missionary work, and it's had a really good effect on them! Another highlight of the conference was Taylor, a recent convert from Hampton (that was found in Dieppe by Elder Smith, and he and I taught her once) gave a talk in church, and it was cool to talk to her after. 

We also got to sit in on an Arabic lesson, Remon, the sister's investigator, had a lesson scheduled with the sisters and these Arabic missionaries, but the sisters had something come up, and so we got to sit in and watch it. It was pretty cool. 

Yeah, I do get to exercise and to play the piano. I'm nowhere near as good as I was a when I could play every day, but I get a chance here and there to do so. 

Yeah, brushing and flossing. 

I've been thinking a lot more about going into law for a profession. Both President Pratt and President Low worked in law, and so have Grandpa Marsh and Grandpa Backman...when I look at people I want to become like, most of them have law degrees. So I don't know really what I want to do, but I want to look into it more when I get home. 

So ya, been a good week. I love you all and miss ya. I'm excited for Christmas when I can speak to you all. It's crazy that it's only one transfer away. 

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...

Yes, everyone's been freaking out!

Hey all, This week has probably been the craziest ever. The announcement came as I was down in a lesson in Halifax (long story, I'll get to it later) and so my phone just started vibrating like crazy during the lesson, and I was super confused. I checked it and saw a ton of missed calls, so I thought something bad just happened, and we finished the lesson quickly, and started calling people back. The other Zone Leaders answered and were just like, "Have you guys checked your email?" and we were really confused, but they told us to go check. Then I read the email they sent all of us, and I was just mind-blown. The elder I was with just pulled over, cause we were driving at this point, and we just sat there talking to them. It was crazy.  Anyway, I'll back up because it's been a pretty crazy week. P-day was a huge storm, and we were stuck in the house that night. Elder Willoughby finished packing. We also found out that because of the storm, the normal t...

This week's update

Hey everybody. I guess you didn't understand what I meant by "you have no excuse." There's a lot of times when we email in the morning. My phone doesn't have internet. I only get to see the emails I got from  Monday . IF YOU WRITE  ON TUESDAY , I MIGHT NOT SEE IT! Hopefully I will have time to read emails later. At least I'll have stuff next week. Now that I finished my little rant, this last week's been pretty good. We finished teaching Nik, Rachelle and Tommy all of the principles, and are just setting up their interviews. Tommy still is working on stopping smoking, but he's doing awesome. He came to a game night we set up, and to church this week, and loved both. The hit at the games night was this table hockey game, it's lots of fun! The travelling trainers came for our district meeting this week. Basically it's two missionaries who spend an entire transfer training the mission. It was lots of fun, Elder Ipson and Olmsted are bo...
