A cool abandoned ship we explored on Pday.

We ate some escargot this week. It was actually really good.
Hey everyone!
It's gonna be a little bit of a shorter email this week, because it we didn't do much besides contacting. I got back to Guyane Wednesday afternoon, and as I was walking to the stairs to go down to get my suitcase, guess who I saw on the other side of the glass? Elder Anderson and Elder Griffin! We couldn't hear each other through the glass, but we smiled and waved and took pictures and it was awesome! Totally a little miracle in my life from God to make my day.
Elder Peterson, my new companion, got here that night. It was kind of weird because it had been a week and a half since anyone had worked in that area, and I'm not super familiar with the area yet, so it was interesting. We pretty much just contacted the whole time and tried to set up more appointments for next week.  We were looking for the house of one of our investigators one day, but couldn't find it, so we just contacted in the area. The next day we went to look again, but went a different way because I thought I might be able to find it better that way. We still didn't find it, so we just started contacting again. The first door that opened had a little girl who answered, and she said her parents weren't home, so we just gave her a pass along card. But then she said that we already gave her that one yesterday. We were really confused, and told her to go get it, and sure enough she had the same card that we had given her yesterday. We somehow managed to get lost on the very same street without even realizing it, haha. After that we left and did find the house we were looking for, so all is good now.
Elder Peterson is also super  great, so I'm pumped. He is super funny, but also really good at French and at teaching and talking to people, so we are gonna have a really good time together. That's about all I have to say for this week, so have a great week everyone! Love you all!
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, ...

Pictures / Sent August 27, 2018

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
