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

Transfers!!!

Hello!  HAPPY BIRTHDAY Ellie!!!!! I hope you had a great one!  So yes, I got transfered!! I'm going to Fredericton with Elder Olsen. We're going to be zone leaders, and I'm super excited!! Elder Olsen is one of my favorite elders, so we're going to be having a great time! They closed down Dieppe, so there are only two French areas now, Edmundston and Bathurst. Elder Smith went to Bathurst. The French areas are in New Brunswick, but the majority of the areas are English (like mine).  I had a pretty good week. Deji got baptized!!!!! It was so, so cool. I was one of the elders who found him, and I had a chance to teach him on exchanges. Then Sunday was really good too.  I'm doing really good health wise! I've had no problems. We found someone pretty cool. Her name is Monica, we found her through Facebook. We're going to teach her again tonight.  I liked going to the zoo a lot. We have played Settlers of Catan a lot together, except it...

Yes, it was Zone Conference

Salut tout le monde! Sorry that I didn't send that schedule again. I'm surprised they don't post that on the facebook page for all the parents. It's hard for me to remember that when you're not living your life 6 weeks at a time you don't normally keep track of when "week 2" is, so I'm sorry. I'll try to make sure to say in the email the week before anything like that happens.  I'm glad that you had a good week. Women's conference sounds like it was pretty nice. I know what you mean when you talked about having very crazy weeks! Also, I'm super jealous of being able to go see Avengers, even if the ending was bad. I keep seeing posters for it everywhere, and I'm pretty curious as how they made the whole connection to Guardians. But I guess I'll find out in 450ish days. (That gives me chills, agh!) I'm looking forward to  Sunday  too! You guys have church at 10 right? There is a  ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ >...

Still no snow on my end

Questions we asked: How's it going with Wendy, Jacob and Brendan?  Any new investigators? How's it going with Elder Pitcher? Are you still a ZL? How was your week? Do you have the chance to exercise and play the piano there? Are you brushing and flossing at least twice a day?  What are you thinking career wise? You said that observing your mission presidents had given you insight on that... Hey all, Glad to hear things are going well back home. Funny that you should bring up taxes, there is a YSA member here who just came up from Texas, and during our lesson he kept talking about how ridiculous the taxes are here compared to back in the states. He's originally from here, but he goes to school there and is back while they figure out his visa stuff. He joined the Church down there, going on to show that America is the promised land!  Things are going well on my end. Still no snow, although there's a lot of wind now, and it's getting colder.
