Exchanges! Sent February 5, 2018

Hello!

Alrighty, I don't want to spend too long on this email today, so I'm gonna skip this useless first paragraph and just get started right away. You're welcome.

So, we went on exchanges this week, and that was interesting. I went with Elder West, and he is in a biking area. The only problem is they don't have bikes. They have fossils. I don't know how old those things are, but they have more problems than, um, something with a lot of problems. Anyway, The brakes don't really work on the one I was riding. You need to pull the left hand brake, and then grab the wire under the metal bar under your seat and pull on that too. And then it still stops pretty slowly. And the chain fell off a few times. And the seat isn't fully attached, so it spins around and if I get off and get on again sometimes the seat is sideways. So yeah, that day was awesome! It was actually super fun once I got the hang of riding it, haha. 

We also had a miracle happen this week. We needed a third male for our lesson with Jennifer, our investigator who is on date to be baptized soon, but no one could come help us. We were super frustrated, and we were already running late for other things we needed to do that day, so we weren't super happy when we got a call saying someone needed us to come unlock the clerks office in the church for them. But we went, and it was a member who we didn't think of calling to come with us, but we asked him then and he said he could come teaching with us! So that was great, but then when we got to the lesson Jennifer told us that she was getting worried about her baptism and didn't know if she could do it. But the member who came with us told her exactly what she needed to hear, and she is excited and ready again to get baptized! It was so cool. That whole morning was so frustrating, but in the end we saw that God was actually directing everything to happen that way so Jennifer could get the help she needed. I know that God is aware of each one of us and our needs, and he will help us if we ask him.

And that was my week! I hope you all are having a great time back home! 



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
