Elder McKade Kerr Mission

Hello! This week was good. I had an interesting surprise when I opened up my email today. I've been trying really hard to not count the days I have left, but when I got on my email I had an email from my family with the heading "The Countdown!" I opened it up, and it was a picture of the number of days I have left. So, I guess I'm counting now, haha. I'm just sad that I have to wait 19 days after I get home before Braden gets home. Anyway, that's enough talk about going home. This week was good. We had zone conference, which went really good, and we got to see President and Sister Fisher again too, which is always fun. Other than that the week was pretty normal. I did go on an exchange too, which was fun. But that's about all. I guess I'll send a couple pictures I took. Have a great week everyone! Love you all! Love, Elder Kerr One is me with a member, and the other one is a weird plant that we see all the time here. I think ...

Hello! Well, we had another week this week. That's probably not too surprising considering that we have a week every week. But this one was special, because it was a semaine. Look that up in French. You'll be happy you did. You might also realize that I'm just saying n'importe quoi, mais je sais même pas si j'ai bien écris ça parce que je sais pas écrire en français. Aussi, je ne sais jamais quoi dire même en anglais parce que ça fait deux ans que je suis en mission, et chaque semaine et la même. En fait, ça c'est pas exactement vrai, mais chaque p-day c'est comme ça, haha.  Sorry if any of you take the time to google translate that. I promise that it's not even worth your time. But anyway, this week was good. Our friend Marie-Lyvie is still on date for baptism, so that's good! And we did lots of fun contacting. We had an exchange, and I was with Elder Jack, who is fun, but I also got sunburned pretty good with him. Oh well. And I can't r...

Hello! How are you all? I hope you're all great. This week was good. We had a cool experience at church this week. We have a friend that we are teaching named Abnel, and he really wanted to come to church but had no ride. We called a couple members, but no one answered or was able to go. So we had to call him and tell him that we couldn't find anyone to give him a ride. We got to church about 45 minutes before it started, and pretty much the only other person there was the branch president. We never asked him if he could give Abnel a ride, mostly because I never know what he has to do before and after church, so I don't want to bother him by asking him to give rides to our friends. But Elder Plowman insisted that we ask him, so we went over to him and told him that we had a friend who wanted a ride to church, and before we could get any further the branch president was like "Ok, let's go get him", and he got up and walked outside. So we followed him and he...

Hello Everyone! Sorry that I didn't write anything last week. My brother got on the computer at the same time as me, which almost never happens, so I was talking to him instead. And I don't have much time this week because I need to set stuff up for college, so I think I'll just put some random highlights from the past two weeks. I saw a turtle. We set two baptismal dates this week. I saw a frog. We helped a less active come to church for the first time in months. I saw a cat. We were eating dinner at a restaurant, and a few drunk or crazy people came in at different times and were asking us for money. With that and a lady next to us who loved to talk, we didn't get one quiet second during all of dinner. But the lady who was talking a lot also is one of the people we put on date. Lots of miracles with that. I saw a dog. I cut my hair two weeks ago, but we didn't have the 1 inch guard for the razor, so I cut the top to 3/4 of an ...

Hello everyone! I was determined to write a good, long email today, but then we played basketball this morning and I jammed one of my fingers pretty good, and it hurts to type. So you all lucked out, I guess I'll just have to send pictures instead. Love you all, and have a great week! (And don't worry mom, it doesn't hurt that bad, it's just uncomfortable to type with)  Love, Elder Kerr Pics: It was Elder Plowman's birthday this week, and the Noel family gave us a super nice dinner and some birthday cake! And I can't remember if I already sent the yoga picture.

 Hello! I think I'll write a shorter email this week. I'm kind of tired of writing long emails, haha. But one cool thing that happened this week was zone conference! It was great to see President and Sister Fisher again. Also, I learned so much stuff. It's crazy how simple missionary work is, but how I never stop learning about how to be a better missionary. I wish I knew everything I know now at the beginning of my mission. Oh well, I guess it'd be smarter to not worry about what I didn't do in the past, and just do better for the rest of my mission. I'm sorry everyone, I'm really drawing a big blank on what happened this week. It was mothers day, so I got to skype home. It's kind of weird how the less you're able to do something the more important it becomes to you. For the first two Christmases and the first mothers day of my mission, those were the only times I could skype home, so it was super exciting and a big deal. But now th...
