Code Red! / Sent Sept. 17, 2018

Hey everyone!

How are you? I hope you're doing great! This week was pretty interesting. We had hurricane Isaac come, so the government issued a "code red" for pretty much all of thursday, which means nobody was allowed to be outside. I guess it wasn't a hurricane, it was a tropical storm. It was also pretty much the dumbest thing of my entire life. Our doors were open the entire time, and it maybe rained for about 10 minutes total, and had a little bit of wind. I could see blue sky most the time too. Pretty much the only day I could have gone outside and not gotten burned to a crisp this week, and the government told us we couldn't leave the house. So we just sat inside all day looking at the nice weather and thinking about all the good we could be doing if we were allowed to go outside. Don't get me wrong, I'm super happy that nothing happened and that we didn't have to worry about a big storm, but it just seemed like a waste of time because we still had to stay inside. Oh well! On the bright side we did lots of area book contacting, and I read a ton in Jesus the Christ, so that was fun. I also juggled a lot, haha.

Oh, also, guess what? I'm getting transfered again! I'm staying on Guadeloupe, but I'm moving to a different city, and I'll be with a new companion. I think I'm setting some sort of record with how many areas I've been in, haha. I'm moving into my 6th area, and I just barely passed my year mark. Meanwhile Elder Anderson, who started his mission the same day as me, is staying in his second area for another transfer, haha. That just shows me that God really is in charge of transfers, because they make no sense normally until after they happened and you can look back and see how much God blessed you by putting you there. Also, my new companion is Tahitan, so that's sweet! Hopefully I'll learn some good french next transfer. 

Well, I guess that's all for this week. Sorry, I made sure to bring my camera to the email place today, but I forgot to bring the converter thing to hook it up to the computer. I'll try to send some next week! Sorry! Just look at Braden's pictures, it's pretty much the same thing, haha. Have a great week everyone!

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
