Transfers!

Hello!

   Well, we got transfer calls this week, and guess what? I'm actually staying in my area! This is only the second time that I've stayed in one area for three whole transfers. Wow, so long. Who knows, maybe I'll break my record next transfer and stay for four transfers. I was kind of hoping to have served in 8 areas by the end of my mission, and this is only my 6th, so I guess we'll see. But hey, if I stay here next transfer I'll be breaking my record for how long I stay in my area, and if I get transfered It'll be my first time moving to my 7th area, so I'll break that record too! I win either way! And for those of you keeping track, Elder Anderson, who started his mission with me, is still in his 2nd area, haha. Transfer calls are bonkers, they make no sense until afterwards. And then you see how it's really God who is giving us the calls, and not just some sort of logical way of sorting missionaries. It's really cool to see that revelation every six weeks.

There is a man we know named Moïse (Moses in French), and we talk to him everyonce in a while. He's had a pretty rough life, and he almost went to jail last week, and I think he's already spent 7 or so years in jail. He also might of killed someone once, but it's hard to tell with how he told the story. Anyway, besides that he's a super nice guy. He's always shirtless and he's covered in tatoos, but he loves to talk to us. The other day I told him I was from America and he was so happy that he gave me a bisous. That's that thing that French people do when they greet each other and they kind of kiss each other on the cheeks. You don't actually kiss thier cheeks, but you just kind of touch your cheeks together. This is really hard to explain, but it's super normal here. Normally only women do that, but like I said, Moïse is a really nice guy. I think he thought I was nervous to do it, but I just didn't want to do it at first because his arm was around his girlfriend and she would have been sandwiched in between us is she didn't move. But she did move, so we were all good. So that was definetly one of the more interesting things that happend this week. 

That's all I have today, but I hope you all have a great week! Enjoy the snow for me, and I'll enjoy the sun and perfect carribean weather for you! 

Love, Elder Kerr

I didn't take any pictures this week, but the sisters stole my camera and tooks some selfies with it. I didn't even realize until right now when I was looking at my pictures. I was like "what the heck, how did this get on here?"  So I guess I'll send that and also a picture of Elder Bennett, and a funny joke I saw. Have a great week!
