It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas...

Hey all,

Glad to hear that things are going good! I'm happy [Grandma's] surgery went well, and that it was a relatively calm week. 

Transfers are January 4th, I'll attach a copy of the holiday schedule that we got, it should answer all of your questions about that. 

Our week has been pretty crazy. I'll start with the update on Daniel and fam. We stopped by Daniel's home this last week, and he wasn't there, but both of his parents were. They let us come in, and we talked about teaching their family. They're down for their kids to learn, and want to learn themselves. We gave them a French Book of Mormon, cause while all of the kids speak English really well, their parents don't. We should be seeing them all tomorrow, so we'll see how it goes. We've yet to meet Karen, Daniel's sister, who is the one we've tried to get into contact with so much, but apparently she's still in Halifax. Her baby boy is having a heart surgery, so we've been praying that things go well. 

We also had the ward Christmas party, and there were a bunch of LA's (less actives) and non-members there. The Smiths, a family we've been working with, brought this guy and his wife, who we're going to try to start teaching soon. The Garcia's and Clarito's, these Filipino families we've also been trying to work with brought another family too, and Sister Cormier brought a friend that we've taught once before, but couldn't set up a return appointment with. So it was pretty crazy! 

And church was good too, this guy named Ernest came to church, we talked to him and invited him, and he wants to come again next week. We're going to try to start teaching him too. While we were on exchanges, Elder Willoughby picked up his neighbor as an investigator as well, Ifeanyi. 

So I'm pretty tired, haha. It's been a busy week. I'm looking forward to talking with you all too. 

We're trying to do more service, but it's hard to find and set the time apart to do, haha. We are trying to do it though. 

At zone conference, the theme was #weworkgodblesses🛒, which was really good. Lots of good comments from everyone. We trained on how we can teach more effectively, and it went well. There were some roleplays after us, and then President Low trained us on the theme. After, we had a big lunch, and then the gift exchange and talent show. The talent show was AMAZING. President Low did this puppet show of one of the office senior couples, and how he got over his addiction to rock stars, we were laughing so hard it was hard to breathe. I played the piano, and a bunch of people sang. 

Sorry this one's more about a bunch of stuff going on, and not as much of a response, but today's been busy. 

Love you all,

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

Hello from France!

Hey everybody!  Sorry for the confusion last week. I didn't get to read your email before I sent mine, but I was able to read it really quick before p day ended, because we were at the church. To explain, the method we had was different in Edmundston than in Bathurst. At Edmundston, we had internet all the time, and a laptop. In Bathurst, no such luck. The only time I have internet is at the church. So to give you the cut off time, we leave the church  Monday  at 2 (our time) so as long as you write before then, I can see it. Otherwise, I'll only have what's already on my phone to read. Also, thanks so much to the Barnes! I loved your little Easter package and notes. You guys are the best! This last week has been crazy!!! Since last p day a ton has gone down.  Thursday  night, we started the stop smoking program with Tommy. Tommy's a beast, hes been making so much progress, it's insane. We had our exchange with Miramichi elders this last week, El...

Sorry this is a short one

Good Morning America! (Or Canada. or Vietnam. Guess it depends on where you live, or if you're old enough for that joke.) Man, do I miss basketball and football. Super excited to hear some more details! I didn't even realize that the PAC 12 playoffs are starting. Not only that, March Madness is going to be getting going too. Hopefully the Utes will follow the pattern and play their best basketball while there's a Marsh on a mission. Also super excited to hear about the spring football starting. Posters look sick for Boo's campaign. I'd vote for him. Especially if the Rock, Thor, and Will Smith are. They must know how to vote, so I should do the same! And his hair is real! Obvious choice. Hope you kill it Boo. It sounds like you've had a super fun week though. The RootsTech sounds like it was super awesome. We have had a chance to watch just a little bit of it here, and it looks like there have been a lot of really cool speakers. Miss the Polo...
