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 drop them off at the airport for their flights home. It was weird to see them actually go. There was one sister who left, and she started her mission at the same time as me, so that was really weird to see her leave. Then we just had a couple more people to drop off at the airport that day, and mostly have done normal missionary work after that up until last night when we called all the zone leaders and talked to them about their zones. That was really cool and fun to do. 

Sad to leave Guadaloupe and Elder West

Well, that was my week. This week should be more normal because it isn't transfer week, but we'll see. I'd just like to bear a short testimony that I was really sad to leave Guadeloupe and nervous to come here, and I prayed a lot that God would help me magnify my calling and love it here, and the second I stepped off the plane into Barbados, I had a huge feeling of joy, and I've been happy and excited this whole week. I know that God answered my prayers, and I know that He will answer your prayers too, all you need to do is pray a ton, and then get to work. I love you all! Have a great week!

Love, Elder Kerr
