Hey all,

I'm so sorry that I forgot to send the email! I'm so sorry, I was helping Elder Willoughby apply for school cause he's had a lot of questions, and I totally forgot to send my email. I'll make sure to send before I do that again!

We had a pretty good week. After p day ended last week, we went to teach this old former named Jeff. He has been taught everything, and knows its all true, he has even been reading the Book of Mormon and praying. We're hoping that we'll be able to baptize him this transfer, the only thing he needs to do is come to church, and get married. 

Thursday was transfers. We got to meet all the new missionaries coming in, there's a lot of cool new ones. Pretty much our entire zone is new missionaries, so it's cool to see the fire. One missionary's companion missed his flight though, so he was waiting with us until the other guy got here at 4:30 later that day, so it was a fun little mini exchange. 

Saturday we got to teach Troy again. He's doing well, he can't read well, he has some learning disabilities, but we have this really awesome plan to help him get baptized by helping him want to pass the sacrament every week. It should really help him, and he'll just take off!

Sunday was nice for us too. I wish we got extra study time to do something like everyone else, but we just do our "Come Follow Me" in our normal studies. Home church sounds like a lot of fun though! With our extra hour we just ended up doing more knocking. Bishop Hall had us over for a dinner appointment too, which was really good. The night ended pretty well too, the last door we hit was this upstairs apartment, and Elder Willoughby didn't want to go up the stairs first, so I went up and knocked on the door, and these three Brazilian friends answered the door. We started talking, and they talked about how much they miss having a more spiritual life, since coming to Canada for college, they've been missing out! So we taught them how they can find that spirituality by reading the Book of Mormon, and invited them to our church, and they said they'll come! Hopefully they turn up, cause they're really cool!

In Moncton we normally eat at home. The members have been inviting us a lot more to come eat with them, this week we should have another one! 

Sure, I'd like more recipies. :) I like trying new things. 

I wish that I got to see the Barnes! They'll definitely have to make another trip, cause it looked like a lot of fun, snowmobiling looked to be pretty cool. 

I love you so much! 
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...
