"Remember when you mentioned chicken nuggets and then I threw up? That was so funny." Sent January 22, 2018

Hey everyone!

Wow. This week was quite the rollar coaster. It was super cool, but also super hard. I felt like I finally knew what I was doing when I was in St. Martin, and now I feel useless half the time. I just want to be able to talk in French right now, but I guess I'll have to be patient and work for it instead, haha. That actually does remindme of one miracle I had this week. I fasted at the beginning of the week that I would be able to work hard here, and also so that I could have the gift of tounges so I could communicate better. And after that day my understanding has improved a ton! I still don't understand a ton, but if we are contacting someone or having a lesson, and if I am really trying to pay attention, then I can understand most of what is being said. But if I start to let my mind wander, then I get lost. It is cool that I can see God helping me when I do my part too. Fasting works!

I suppose I should also explain the heading of this email, haha. Elder Griffin woke up super sick on Friday. He was throwing up all morning and just felt really sick. We think it was because of something he ate the day before, and our luch was bascally just a ton of chicken nuggets that day. Anyway, he was sitting in his bed, and I was asking him if there was anything I could get for him, and then, trying to be funny, I asked if he wanted any chicken nuggets. He was like "oh man, that mekes me want to throw up." And then he turned and actually did throw up. I felt super bad. We ended up just staying home the rest of the day, and he was feeling a lot better the next day. And yesterday, when we were coming home from church, he randomly just said "Remember when you mentioned chicken nuggets and then I threw up? That was so funny." And this is why I love Elder Griffin so much, haha.

That's about all I can think of saying for this week. I can't figure out where to plug my flash drive in for pictures in this computer, but I'll send some next week. Have a great one!

Love Elder Kerr

Barbados / Sent Jan. 28, 2019

Hello! Well, here I am, finally where all of you thought I've been this whole time. Barbados. It's pretty cool here. Also, the keyboards are normal english keyboards again, so here I am struggling to type again, haha. So this might not be a super long email, but I'll try to give you a little overview of this past week, because it was pretty weird. I left Guadeloupe on Tuesday, and got to Barbados at around 8pm. We have a pretty big apartment, or a small house more accurately, because we share it with the zone leaders, but there were 8 people sleeping there because everyone is moving around for transfers and waiting for flights or companions and stuff. Then Wednesday we mostly were driving to and from the airport dropping people off and picking people up, and then that evening we got to be at the mission home with the missionaries going home, so we ate and chilled with them, and had a little testimony meeting. It was cool. Then we had to get up early, 5am, to d...

"You're paying for that!" / Sent Sept. 10, 2018

Hello! Hey, how are you all? I hope you're all doing great! This week was pretty slow, but still good. I guess some weeks are like that. But anyway, something kind of scary and interesting happened this week. We were contacting a lady, and it was actually going pretty good, but she was one of those people who can just talk forever. I'm not kidding, there are some people here who will just talk all day long about n'importe quoi (I'm not really sure how to say that in english, haha. Just basically random stuff that's not important.) Anyway, at the end of the contact she just went off and started talking about so much random stuff about her life and God and her family, and it was good, but she was probably talking for almost 10 minutes straight without letting us say anything. We were standing on her porch, and after a few minutes I started to kind of zone out a little bit and stopped really paying a lot of attention. But then she looked me straight in the eyes, ...

Hey everyone! I'm just gonna send pictures this week instead of writing about my week. I'll just tell you that we only managed to teach two of the 15 lessons we had planned, so we did a lot of contacting, haha. Those two lessons were really good though. So was the contacting. Kind of, haha.  Have a great week, and hopefully pictures actually load today! Love you all! The church is true!  Love, Elder Kerr
