Hey all, 
 
Sorry if this letter isn't as long or as nice. I have a massive headache right now, so it makes it a little hard to write and think. :(

Man, I was hoping Boo's call would be there today,I'm super excited to see where he ends up going. I can see things online, so hopefully it pops up. 

Last week was pretty busy on our end as well, with lots of driving and more to look forward to. Wednesday we had district council in Miramichi, which is about an hour and a half from Moncton. We got back and had a few lessons. One was with Brother Bourque, the other was with Nadia. Nadia is probably in her 30's, same with the Henesseys. Sister Henessey met her at work, she had gotten transferred to Moncton, and they instantly clicked. She's learning lots, and progressing a ton, which is super cool. It really impresses me how much of a difference having members involved makes with missionary work. 

Thursday was a trip to Fredericton. We went to the district council there, and gave a training. went well, but it was another hour and a half trip there and hour and a half back. Then the next day we drove up to Bathurst, (2.5 hours) and ANOTHER hour up to Campbellton and Quebec, where we were working that day with the Bathurst elders on exchange. We had a pretty cool miracle there though, one of the members ran into this less active who lots of people have been looking for. We looked for him too while I was in Bathurst. But anyway, this member ran into him at the library, and got his new number, because he's super interested in coming back. So we met him, and helped him a bit with one of his concerns, but he's going to get back to church! Man, does he talk a lot though. I don't think I've ever met someone with a case of Old Maritimer disease as bad as the one he's got. (That's what we call it when people talk forever and get on little tangents. I'll give you a demo when I get home.)

The next day we drove back home from our exchange, and then another thirty minutes to Shediac. We had a DA with the Porters, who are super awesome, and then we went and did some service for a member. She had some electrical wiring problems, and a problem with her dryer, and we went and fixed it. It was pretty fun, I learned how to switch a light switch. Elder Holman's a pro at that stuff, so it was lots of fun. He forgot to turn of the breaker at one point though, and it sparked as he was trying to tighten the switch back on, and I was terrified that he was going to drop dead or something. But he was fine, he didn't get shocked at all. We made sure to turn it off though! 

Sunday was super awesome. The lady who we did service for the day before brought her less active son, and he got along really well with one of the members, they exchanged numbers. Then during the linger longer, he really enjoyed it, and wanted to come to more events. So he messaged us, and told us he'd be interested in activities, which got us pretty excited, but then he decided he'd like to have lessons with us as well, which just blew our minds. 

Later that day, we dropped by these members, who had invited their friends over for a get together, and wanted us to come. So we came and got to know their friends, then we taught a great restoration lesson, using a Rubik's cube to help us. It went so great, and they really enjoyed it. 

We didn't get to see Jeff and Terrilynn, they're not married yet. They need to get a marriage license still. They have an 8 year old, Zoe, from Terrilynn's old boy friend. Troy's doing good. 

Love you all so much! Loved the email dad. See you later,
Elder Marsh

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...

Rundown for this week

Hey everybody, Glad to hear that things are going good back home. I'll try to answer the questions as best I can.  Did you get your package before you left your last area? No. I still haven't gotten it. This is one of the reasons I thought sending it to Erich would have been better, because other missionaries don't care as much about other people's stuff. Caribou lost my package, and then found it in Woodstock,  (NO IDEA how it got there) we tried to get it as we drove past going to transfers, but Woodstock elders weren't at their apartment, they were at Houlton WITH my package.  I assume I should sent packages to the mission office now? Yes. Send it to the mission office.  Tell us all about your new area.  Do you have investigators there? Tell us about them... Bathurst is super awesome. I love Bathurst. We have three investigators who are going to get baptized this transfer, and they are the best. They're names at Nik, Rachelle and Tommy. ...
