I actually went on a run this week! / Sent Dec. 31, 2019

Hey everyone!

Well, I hope you all had a great Christmas. And a great week after Christmas. I'm sorry that most of you will have to start school and work again soon. I realized that as missionaries we are blessed to not have to go back to work after the vacation because we pretty much never stopped working and didn't really have a vacation. So while my transition was smooth as butter and easy as, um, something easy, your transition might be a little harder. So I'm sorry for that, but you'll all be in my prayers this week, haha. 

We did something fun this week that I haven't done in months. We went on a run! Our branch was having a cleaning activity Saturday morning at the church, but the only way we could get there was to walk. Or run. It was only like a 20 minute run, but it still felt super great to be able to run again. Then we got to help clean the church for a while, and then one of my favorite members, President Murat, gave us a ride home afterwards. We told him we wanted to carol to him this week, but we never got the chance because he was on the other side of the island with family the whole week. So he told us we had to sing to him in the car. I told him we didn't have any hymn books, but he had one in his glove box, so we had no way out of it, haha. So we sang him a few songs in his car while he was driving us home, and it was pretty fun, haha.

We also had a cool new ami named Alexandra come to church this week! She is super open to the gospel, and was happy to come to church. She brought her three year old son too, and I think he really liked it when he met a three year old girl in the branch. I think they were the only two kids in primary yesterday, and in the third hour they kept making eye contact and dancing and making weird faces to each other, so I guess it was love at first sight. I just love how the gospel brings people together like that. Also, speaking of the third hour of church, that's not gonna be a thing anymore. I hope you all are as excited as I am to do the new come follow me program thingy and come closer to Christ than ever before! Have a great week!

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
