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!

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

Crazyness

Wow, hello everybody! This last week's been absolutely crazy. First off, I'm getting transferred to Bathurst, I'll be serving with Elder Boardman, he's from Holladay too, we're super excited! I was also called to be the French district leader, so I'll be working on training for the French missionaries too. Really looking forward to it! Second off, the French temple trip. Holy cow, best part of my life. Long story though. To start, Elder Greenburg and I had to drive separately from the other missionaries. They were taking two members, Anik and Renaud, to Mirimichi, where they met more members there to take the members the rest of the way. They picked up Elder Boardman there as well, and came the rest of the way down. On the other hand, Elder Greenburg and I went to Fredericton, picked up Sister King and her harp, and drove with her all the way to Halifax. When we got to Truro, we got this HUGE storm. It was absolutely crazy, people were sliding off t...

Q & A

Questions we asked this week: Ainsley says, "Does he still remember us?" haha What are the highlights of your week? What are your insights on ministering? What's the schedule coming up, so we can be aware? How was the conference with Elder Haynie? Why haven't you sent any photos lately?????? Hey all, It's been a busy week again, LOTS of travel. We went down to Halifax on Wednesday, stayed in Moncton for the night, and had Zone Conference on Thursday. So we were out of town for quite a while, but they were pretty good meetings.  First, MLC. We didn't do a lot, we pretty much told Elder Haynie what our mission was like so he could know what to do and say for the conferences. He was super suprised at how obedient our mission was. He kept asking if there were little groups of Elders who would heckle, or be disobedient, etc... and he was amazed at how that's not a problem. He was also pretty impressed by how hard working our mission was. We ...
