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!

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 ...

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...

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
