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

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...

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  ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ >...

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...
