Elder Robbie Marsh

Hey all, Sounds like this week’s been a blast! I remember it being really nice to just relax a bit at the start of the summer, so I hope you’ve been enjoying it. This week’s been pretty busy for us, but it’s been very enjoyable. Congrats Boo on graduating! When do you leave for DC, next week? That came quick. Still doesn’t feel like I’m coming home in 7 weeks.  Tuesday after p-day we had dinner with a less active member, Matthew. He’s been getting more active, but we’re working with him on it. He made teriyaki salmon, it was super delicious. Dad would’ve loved it. I snagged the recipe from them, and it looks like it’s pretty simple, so I’ll have to make it sometime when I get home dad!  Wednesday, Thursday and Friday were pretty standard days. We had a really good institute class on Friday, President Cartier (the institute teacher) is one of the best I’ve seen, he’s pretty incredible.  Saturday was a so nice outside, probably one of the first really warm ...

Hey all, First thoughts, stake conference seems legit. That seriously sucks with polo though. Straight bummer. It’s not just a game mom, so totally ok to feel upset. Also my emails are never short because your emails are too long mom, it’s meetings that cut out the time, so never worry about a long email! Our week was pretty sick. We taught a bunch of the Congolese people here in Halifax, I’m pretty sure I talked to you about them before. We taught Didi and Cefa (they’re the couple Elder Boardman and Elder Olsen met, the ones who had the preacher in Africa who knows the Book of Mormon is true), and it went really well. The thing holding them back is they aren’t married. Didi needs to pay a dowry to Cefa’s family to get married to her. We’re trying to get them to talk to the family to see if they can negotiate the payment to come after the marriage. They pay the dowry in cows, like Johnny Lingo. Pretty crazy to think that would affect my mission in Canada. We also set up a ...

Here are the questions Robbie was responding to this week: Tell us more about Elder Holman and why you guys get along so well. How often do you teach English classes? How many students are there? You said some of your English students have turned into investigators, tell us about them. You said Mondays are a pretty set schedule, what else in your weekly schedule is set? Spiritual highlight this week? Is it harder to have a spiritual highlight when you're busy with administrative stuff? Hey all, It really doesn’t seem that long, haha. The posters look sick. Looks like cap 4 has a good rep.  (The varsity water polo team has banners hanging at the high school...cap 4 was Robbie's number. :) I don’t know what it exactly is about Elder Holman that makes us get along really well. I think part of it is that he’s American. The American elders are all really cool. Most of the the time the Canadians spend WAAY more money, it’s definitely helped me realize tha...

Hey all, Man, sorry I sucked at writing this week. P day was pretty weird, this email should be pretty short. (Sorry mom.) His p-day was split between Monday and Wednesday, since he had to attend multiple zone conferences this week. So yeah, I forgot something from last week. We were playing basketball with some non-members, and another guy and I both went up for a rebound and we collided. I broke my arm. Jk I didn't, I just broke off the little nose nub for my glasses (the Spencer's). I was wondering if Liingo fixes those or if I just took it into a place here would they fix it? Or if they just replace them too that would be nice. :) This week just flew by. We did a lot of stuff trying to get booth supplies ready for missionaries to take and keep organized, so that should move forward super smooth come zone conference when we'll be getting those out. Speaking of zone conference, it won't be till week 5 this transfer, as Elder Hamilton in our area presidency...
