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

Crazyness

Wow, hello everybody! This last week's been absolutely crazy. First off, I'm getting transferred to Bathurst, I'll be serving with Elder Boardman, he's from Holladay too, we're super excited! I was also called to be the French district leader, so I'll be working on training for the French missionaries too. Really looking forward to it! Second off, the French temple trip. Holy cow, best part of my life. Long story though. To start, Elder Greenburg and I had to drive separately from the other missionaries. They were taking two members, Anik and Renaud, to Mirimichi, where they met more members there to take the members the rest of the way. They picked up Elder Boardman there as well, and came the rest of the way down. On the other hand, Elder Greenburg and I went to Fredericton, picked up Sister King and her harp, and drove with her all the way to Halifax. When we got to Truro, we got this HUGE storm. It was absolutely crazy, people were sliding off t...

Q & A

Questions we asked this week: Ainsley says, "Does he still remember us?" haha What are the highlights of your week? What are your insights on ministering? What's the schedule coming up, so we can be aware? How was the conference with Elder Haynie? Why haven't you sent any photos lately?????? Hey all, It's been a busy week again, LOTS of travel. We went down to Halifax on Wednesday, stayed in Moncton for the night, and had Zone Conference on Thursday. So we were out of town for quite a while, but they were pretty good meetings.  First, MLC. We didn't do a lot, we pretty much told Elder Haynie what our mission was like so he could know what to do and say for the conferences. He was super suprised at how obedient our mission was. He kept asking if there were little groups of Elders who would heckle, or be disobedient, etc... and he was amazed at how that's not a problem. He was also pretty impressed by how hard working our mission was. We ...
