Elder Robbie Marsh

Hey all,  Wow, sometimes I wish I just had some normal weeks. I'll get into my week later on, but it was a weird one. (I'm starting to think weird weeks are more normal than the normal weeks.) Excited for Boo's call coming soon!  Tell us more about Elder Holman...where is he from, how long has he been out, what does he like? Elder Holman is from Idaho Falls. He's just hit his year mark. He likes rock climbing, wrestling, movies, spending time with friends, the usual. He's a hard worker, which is really nice, we go out and work a lot. And yes, still zone leaders.  Do you like being a zone leader? Would it feel like a demotion if you were asked to do something else, like train, or whatever? Will you feel bad if you are never AP? In answer to the other question, I do like being a zone leader. It's a lot of fun to be able to help the district leaders train and to work with the MLC to make the mission focuses. I've learned a lot. But I don't...

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...

Hey all,  Happy Birthday and all that. You're pretty much the best mom ever. I love you so much.  I'm glad you liked the last email. I guess I didn't think much of it, but I guess that's where the spirit's smarter than me. That really sucks that Boo's getting his wisdom teeth pulled, I really won the teeth lottery. No cavities, no wisdom teeth, barely needed braces. Lucked out. Also, I hope the weather's good enough for you to go down (to St. George) . We're getting pounded with a storm right now, we have to push back transfers another day. (But we still need to drop Elder Willoughby off, so looks like another trip to Halifax :))  Also, that's cool you've been getting more out of your prayers! I really recommend two talks by Elder Bednar, they were back to back, April and October of 2008 I think. The second one's called Pray Always , and it's really helped me get more out of my prayers by making it more of a continuous convers...

Hey all, Lol, Ben had to stay in for two inches of snow?!? We literally have 2 inches of ice on top of the actual road, and then on top of that is the normal packed down snow. They don't even bother to try to break the ice, they put some salt on it but it doesn't do anything. What ends up happening is they pour this dirt and rock combination on top of all the roads to give you traction. And we've had some gorgeous weather this week!  Also, that's weak sauce mom. You can't give up on the creative subject lines. That's like telling a joke without the punchline. (JK, you don't really have to if you don't want to, but pretty much every missionary ever just does numbers, and I think they're dumb.) I jokingly put "Life, week 2,555" as my subject line. Q: You never said who was which kind of finisher when you described the three types. I'm sure that was on purpose because you don't ever say anything negative about other missio...
