Exshode vansh. / Sent July 16, 2018

Hey everyone!

This week was pretty good. Nothing too out of the ordinary, but I can think of one funny story. I think I've already mentioned our ami (investigator) Raena, but we were teaching her and her sister this past week. They are Brazillian, but grew up here so they speak portugese and French. We were teaching the ten commandments, so we asked them to open up the exodus 20. In french that sounds like exode van. Because they both are brazillian, I guess they grew up reading the bible in portugese, and some of the names are different, so Raena's sister didn't understand where to go in the bible. We said "exode van" a couple times, but she still couldn't understand. Then Raena turned to her and said "exshode vansh" and she understood perfectly, haha. It was so funny. Me and Elder Peterson always make fun of Portugese, how it is just like spanish but with the "sh" sound all over, and it's so true. It sounds so funny. 

Also, France won the world cup! Yay! There were some crazy parties in the street for a few hours afterwards, but that's happened after every game they've won, so nothing too new or exciting. I only have one picture of it, but the picture doesn't do it justice. I'll see if I can attach a video too. If not, just know that it was really loud and looked really fun, haha. 

That's all I can think of writing for this week. Thanks all of you for your love and support! I love all of you! The church is true! 

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
