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 is coming to visit. He's pretty cool, he is getting reassigned soon, to go be the CEO of Family Search, so he's kinda a big deal or something.

So transfers are happening. I'm going to be with Elder Holman again, he's coming here to be with me. I'm super excited, Elder Holman been one of my favorite companions, so I'm super happy I'm getting him. 

A quick spiritual thought I've had this week: I think we have a lot to learn from our different perspectives throughout life. A scripture I read this week talked about how God works in a straight course, and one eternal round. I think it was grandpa that taught this, but depending on your perspective, a straight line looks a lot like a circle. Like, it you could walk in a straight line, all the way around the world, it would look like a circle from space. Or if you draw a straight line on a paper, and roll it up, it would be a circle. I think God sees a lot of circles when we see straight lines. And I think God makes us into circles when we feel like we're just a line. Like I look at the start of my mission and my perspective is very different. I think I'm happier looking at my life as a circle than just as a line. I'm a better missionary, I have more love for others. It's a straight course, but it sure is one eternal round.

Love you all. Again, sorry this is super lame, we've just been super busy this week, so I've basically had no time for p day. Love you lots, hope you had a good trip dad. Nice pics Boo. Mom, idk if you're having family over for Mother's Day, tbh I kinda forgot it was even mother's day this Sunday till Elder Benson's mom mentioned it. So if there's a time you're looking for, let me know... Love ya!

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...
