Moving!

Hey all,

First off, I’m so sorry to hear that Bob Sweeten passed away. Please let Deyanne know that she’ll be in my prayers, and that I pray they feel comforted. It is a big blessing to know that death’s not the end, that just as birth is a part of our eternal experience, death is as well. Sending lots of thoughts and prayers from Canada! 

You’re a really good friend mom. I’m glad you can be there to help out people who need you. 

I leave for Montreal on Thursday. So like in 2 days. It’s pretty crazy, I’m packing up all my stuff. We’re flying. I wish we were driving, that would be sooo much fun. I think it’s like a 14 hour drive, something pretty crazy. But no, we’re flying, and then at the airport the assistants there are going to pick us up and we’re just getting to work, with the thousand things we need to do after the merge. We’re going to be pretty busy, haha. I don’t think our p-day will change, but I don’t know yet...

Also, you did NOT tell me that Jake proposed! When did that happen? When’s the wedding? I can’t believe you didn’t tell his first nephew. Email fail...

I’ve been pretty busy this week too. So we had transfers this week, which always keeps us pretty busy. Tuesday was when I wrote right? That night was when we were supposed to go pick up the new missionaries, but they missed their flight. So we were trying to figure out a new flight to get them here, and a schedule to get everything done in time. Fortunately they were able to catch a flight the next day, and they got in Wednesday morning. We brought them back to the mission office for orientation, we got them lunch, got them licenses, took them contacting, brought them back to the mission home for dinner, we took off after dinner to go get the vans ready. 

Thursday was transfer day, we got up super early to pick up the new missionaries, rushed over and got them, brought them back to the mission office, picked up everyone else, took off to Moncton, made the switch, and got everyone else on for Halifax. I got to drive down with Elder Smith, so we talked all the way down, which was super fun. We got to the temple to drop them off, and as we were getting everyone where they need to be, Elder Boardman showed up! He came to tour the mission and came to surprise Elder Olsen and Smith and go to their temple session. So it was really cool to see him again. He came to church in Halifax, and so we were talking to him and got to catch up, it was nice. 

After transfers, we’ve been super busy trying to transition all of our French people to the French elder that’s been transferred in. 

That’s about it for us. We’ve been doing lots to prep for the merge, plus our normal missionary work, plus packing. Busy stuff.

Probably the hardest people to say goodbye to are the other missionaries. We pretty much get talk to and be friends with everyone in the mission right now, and so we're basically leaving them all, we won't get to see them all anymore. But not much we can do about that.

I've been trying to think of what I want to talk about [in church]. It's hard cause I can't put all of the lessons I've learned on my mission into a 25 minute talk, so I gotta decide what to say... I'm thinking about it... 

Love you all! Congrats Boo on becoming an elder! It's getting close to that time, you'll do great! I'm excited to hear some further details about that wedding. Love you all!

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...
