Rain! Sent February 12th, 2018

There has been a McKade sighting somewhere in the jungles of French Guiana!


Hey everyone!

Normally I think of things to say in this during the week, and then write it in my planner so by the time I get here I already know what to write about. But I didn't do that this week, and I can't really remember anything that we did, haha. So I'll just keep typing and hopefully something will come to me. Oh, one thing is that it rained a ton this week. It has rained almost constantly since thursday. It was mostly just drizzling, but there were a  few times that it poured rain. So that was pretty cool.

Oh, and we also played soccer this week! We had it as a sports night at the church, and we had some members and investigators come, so it was a success! The only problem was that some of them were really good, so I played really hard to try to not get destroyed, and I ended up getting super bad blisters on my feet. I could hardly walk the next two days. It was pretty painful, but also pretty funny. Luckily we have a car, so we didn't have to walk around a ton. Oh, actually, never mind, we took the car to the shop on Friday and had to walk to the church, which took about 20 minutes. Haha, yeah, that hurt a little. But they are all better now! And I'm pretty sure my team won in soccer, so it was totally worth it.

We had some cool lessons this week that were really spiritual. We taught a sick member and her two kids, and then had the opportunity to give them priesthood blessings because all three of them were sick. By the time we left everyone was a lot happier, and I think they were feeling a little better too, so that was cool. We also had another great lesson with Jennifer, and she is excited and ready to  get baptized at the end of this month! We had a lesson with another investigator named Donald this week two, and he said he wants to get baptized too, so that was awesome! Overall the week went by super fast, but it was really good too.

I can't think of anything else to write, so I'll just finish off by saying goodbye and have a great week!

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
