Dear Family

Hey how are you doing? How is everyone liking school? It sounds like Rebecca really likes school. That’s great that she does. That’s great that Kaitlyn likes playing Tennis so much. I bet she will do great at it. The motorcycle trip sounds like it was a lot of fun too. Bet it was a great ride. It sounds like there is a lot going on there. So David goes home tomorrow doesn’t he? I think that’s what he told me. Wow that’s crazy. It doesn’t seem like it has been long enough. I’m glad President messer got up and said that about everyone needing to go on a mission. I’m so glad I came. I would always regret not coming if I hadn’t come. I think all the young men would regret not going after it was to late to go. It will be something that they will always remember and bless the rest of their lives. Well everything is going great here. I’m in East Memphis now. Melisa Browder is a member of the ward here. She has us over for dinner sometimes. We were over there last Friday or Saturday and she started talking about face book and told us she would look our parents up. The missionaries have been working with her for the last year or so helping her start coming back to church. She is really nice. Its pretty nice being in the same ward. I know all the members still. Its kind of weird not being with Elder Arnold though. Elder Graham is a great missionary. We are getting along pretty well. This area is a little bit different than orange mound was. It’s a good area though. O by the way. I got a call from President Drewes today. He got a letter from the first presidency and Ray got the approval to get baptized. We are pretty excited for him. Elder Arnold and his companion will be going over tomorrow to set up his baptism. I’m really glad I will still be around to see him get baptized. I saw him at church on Sunday and he was talking about how he was excited about how he finally found Christ’s church. His family owns a few different churches. He wants us to go over and start talking to his mom now. He has been talking to her about the church and how much he likes it. I think it is here in this area. That would be really neat to be able to start teaching her too.

I got asked to be a zone leader. I’m pretty nervous about it. I call into Elder Hansen every night though. He helps me out a lot. I’m still not sure what all I’m supposed to be doing. I guess I better learn fast. Well I hope you have a great week. I love you all and miss you.

Love Elder Marshall

O and yes I did get the package with the 4^th of july t shirt. I thought I told her thankyou. Maybe I didn’t though. I’ll tell her again.
