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

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...
