Elder Robbie Marsh

Hey all, Thanks for the pics. I’m excited for when I can be back in the pool, it’s been a long time, haha. Although I totally agree, being 100% focused on one thing is super super nice. I love that I just don’t have to worry about anything going on except other people. Also, hope the movie was nice. We'll definitely have to watch a bunch when I get back.  Sorry if this one's a little shorter, today was a district p-day, every so often, President can approve the mission to spend a p-day together with their districts, so we got together and played ball hockey. So much fun. I’m not too bad either, it helps to have long arms, haha. Hopefully I’ll get another chance to play in the future. President Low came and played with us, which was super awesome. He’s a pro at ball hockey, so it was lots of fun together.  My week's been pretty good. I have to recap a bit though. Remember when I wrote and told you about the booth that we had done? Well one of the people I met th...

Hey all, Man, you sure worry about my packages mom. :) it literally came the day after p-day, like I thought it would. Thank you for it all, you’re great. Funny note too. Elder Benson liked his stuff too. Sounds like your Easter was a whole lot more fun than mine was, haha. We didn’t do anything too crazy. Since we work in the YSA branch everyone’s a dirt poor student who can’t really afford to feed us a bunch, so we didn’t eat with anyone or anything. Plus we did some service during dinner time, so people couldn’t really feed us. I did want to make something better than normal, so I started making Alfredo chicken, when I realized we didn’t have any flour. The only thing we had I could use was pancake mix, so we had pancake mix chicken Alfredo. Not my finest dish, and sure makes for a lame Easter dinner.  Church was nice though, we had a less active come to church. Her name is Alexa, she is from Toronto, has a brother on a mission, and is going to school here, and basi...

Hey all, My week was pretty busy and boring, for the most part, so I guess I can relate. Thursday was zone conference for Nova Scotia. Friday morning we flew to Newfoundland, and did exchanges there for 3 hours. I got to teach this French guy, and we had a pretty good lesson. He really loved having someone to speak French with, so I think it helped. Saturday was Newfoundland zone conference, and the elders there had a baptism late that night. Sunday we went to church in Saint John's, it was their fast and testimony meeting. Got back Sunday night, Monday was full of meetings until the evening, and then we had the YSA FHE, it was karaoke, which was lots of fun. Everyone had a great time. And now you're to today. Pretty lame. I did hear about Notre Dame, the YSA keep me way more updated on everything than other areas. Pretty nice, most of them probably remember what it was like in their missions not getting updates, and they're paying if forward. That's sad new...

Hey all, I’m super pumped about your call Boo! It’s going to be such a great experience for you! My week was pretty good, alothough it’s kinda boring to write about. We did lots of good contacting downtown. Had district council. Prepped zone conferences. Played basketball with nonmembers and got them into our English class, which is going well. Had a great time with General Conference, loved tons of the talks. Didn’t find anyone new yet, although we’ll see with the English class if we can start teaching someone. Monday we drove up to Moncton and I got to do some finding there. Stayed in a hotel for the night, which was super nice. Tuesday was a good zone conference and then drive back to Halifax. It was really nice to just chat with the Lows on the drive.  Today we went shopping and cleaned the car. Had a meeting about the English class. Going to the class later today. Tonight I’ll get to see Elder Olsen, he’s staying with us for zone conference.  We spend most of our ti...

Hey all, Wow, super stoked for Boo’s call! You should forward the email to me and let me find out where he's going today before Boo sees it. I promise I won’t tell. :) I didn’t see those photos or anything because the mission is doing a social media fast, so we’ve been off Facebook and Instagram, and won’t get back on till Friday, so I won’t see anything on there for a while. I really hope you get a good mission president too, literally having had President Pratt and President Low have been SO incredible. Both have taught me so much, and are so obedient. It makes such a big difference. I hope you get a good obedient mission Boo. It literally makes such a big difference on your mission experience. I remember when I opened my call I was a little excited to go to the CHM, but I was also a little bit disappointed, cause I wanted to go to some place in Africa or something where you baptize 120 people a week, but since I came here I’ve seen how much better off I have it than all of ...
