I AM GOING TO MISS THE MISSION SO MUCH.

This week went very well for us! I am really enjoying my Mission.  The results are still coming. This Friday we had a baptism of the cutest kid. His name is Marco, it was a special baptism.  Before I actually baptized him I was almost crying.  This is my last baptism as a full time missionary. I am going to miss the Mission so much.  I am excited to go home to see my family, but I feel like I am leaving a lot of families here in Mexico.  I did not think that I could love these people so much. We had a really awesome family attend church on Sunday.  I am really excited for them. Wow, one week, I can´t express how I feel.  I am feeling a little bit of everything, but I know that God has a plan for me.  He knows everything and if I follow his plan everything will be alright. I am excited for my life. I am excited to see you guys and be with you guys and to continue to serve the Lord. Just because I served a Mission, does not mean that I am saved.  There is a lot of work to do when I get back. I love you.  In case I don´t get to write you next week I will see you at the airport. Don´t forget that I am coming home on Wednesday night, I´ll see you soon!

Love,

Two-Year Mark


Our Easter was really special, except my companion got pretty sick and we were in the hospital from Sunday morning until Monday night. It felt so good to finally leave the hospital.  Time goes by so slow when one is in the hospital. I have learned that when someone is busy and is working a lot, Time Flies! I felt a little sick as well, I think that it was something that we ate. General Conference was really special, pure power, I received a lot of revelation and I am excited to apply all that I learned. My Testimony and Faith strengthens a lot after listening to General Conference.  I remember when I was younger, I would always look at the clock and say how long until this is over. Now I can't believe how quickly that they end.  Each session goes by really fast. This was funny, when we were watching the Saturday morning session, almost all of the talks were about eternal marriage, my companion and the other missionaries, were like this talk is for you, listen up! They kept telling me that I need to get married as soon as possible after the mission. Dinner at the Newmans house was amazing.  The food was great.  They live in a beautiful house, and it was a really spiritual experience! They are intelligent and I learned a lot talking to them. It sounds like you guys had a really fun week in Las Vegas! I am happy for you guys.  I got the package that you sent me for Easter! I loved it, thanks so much for sending it, I shared most of it with the zone, I was so surprised to see cake battered flavored chap stick, it smells good. Thanks again for the package, you are the best Mother in the whole world! I love you! Tell Loren and George hello, and that I will see them soon. Have a Great Week, I love you!

This is Elder Marshall and I with the Mission President Velez. It was our 24 month anniversary in the mission. In this Multi Zone Conference they had all of the missionaries that were going home share their testimonies, I was crying a little in my testimonio it was hard, but powerful. I am so grateful to have served a full time Mission!

So excited for General Conference

March 30, 2015
  I am really excited for General Conference this weekend, I can feel that it is going to be really powerful and I am excited to learn and apply. This Friday we are going to the Paz to have a Multi Zone Conference.  That will be really awesome. This week will be a week of learning and listening. That is cool that you are going to Las Vegas. All of the members are asking me what I am going to do when I get home, and they say how my family must be so excited to see me. I need to stay focused and endure to the end. We are working hard and should have a baptism the week after General Conference. Something hard happened this week a member in our Ward.  Our recent convert Susana, just heard that her mother´s lungs are failing and might die.  She is going to Oaxaca, Mexico for a while. I felt really bad for her.  Her mother in law who was getting prepared to get baptized might not be here. We are going to help her find the church and continue to attend while she is gone. An American Family(The Newmans) invited 6 missionaries to eat Dinner with them for Easter.  They are smart, fun, and fairly wealthy. Sister Marsha Newman writes novels, she wrote "Joseph and Emma, A Love Story."  She knows and has studied a lot. Thanks for everything.  This week is going to be awesome, and we will get her done. Thanks for all of your love and support, I love you and Don´t Forget to tell JACOB HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He is getting old.  I am happy for him and hope that he has a great birthday!!! Have a great Week! And Don´t forget to listen to General Conference!

Love,
