Face Palm Lesson / Sent April 23, 2018


Elder Jouffray giving me a haircut.
Hey everyone!
So, this email might be a little shorter than normal. You're welcome. And I think I'll even add pictures. You're double welcome.
Everyone in my little appartment got sick this week except for me. That's good. Both Elder Anderson and Elder Jouffray had a super sick day this week. Maybe I should be more sympathetic, but hey, it's not fun for me either to be in a tiny house with people throwing up either, haha. Luckily it was kind of a 24 hour thing, and everyone is doing good now.
We had a small miracle this week. Our mission president has been really pushing us to meet with members more, but it's kind of hard because we have lots of single women in the branch who live in the area, but we can't visit them unless we have a third male with us. So after trying really hard to meet with a few of them this week, but with no success, we decided to just do drop by visits with some members instead, and just share a scripture or something. We had about an hour, and we called a 15 year old girl in the branch, who is the only member in her family, and we just wanted to give her a Book of Mormon, and have her write her testimony in it and give it to a friend. But she actually had a friend at her house, who just happened to be a boy who was 18, so we could stay and teach them a lesson! It was super cool! She was happy about it, and he was nice, but maybe not super interested. We got to the part about the first vision in the lesson, and Elder Anderson had all of us close our little pamplets, and he recited the first vision. It was super good, and the spirit was pretty strong. But then her friend looked up at us and said "comment?", which is pretty much like saying "what?". And then the member girl just face palmed, and it was pretty funny, although a little disapointing too.
And that was my week! I hope you all are doing good and have a great week!
Love, Elder Kerr
Cool swamp house and Elder Anderson.

 I kind of look like a vampire in this picture.

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
