Merry Christmas / Sent Dec. 26, 2019

Merry Christmas everyone! 

I know I'm a day late, but let's just pretend I'm saying Merry Christmas 364 days early so I don't have to say it next year, haha. But this past week has been pretty good. We really tried to light the world this week, and it was super fun. We also went caroling a couple times with the other missionaries, and that was great. We made a couple people cry because they were so happy. We had one member tell us that we sing a lot better in English than we do in French, haha. But the funniest moment was when we went to sing to Rubin's, the 15 year old recent convert. We knocked on the door, and started singing when his brother answered the door, but he knew that we wanted to see Rubin's, so he went to get Rubin's. We just kept singing while we were waiting, and then Rubin's came hopping out into the room while he was still putting on his pants, and he kind of hopped in front of the door, saw that there were sister missionaries, and then just kept hopping to the other side where they couldn't see him, and then finished puting on his pants. It was so funny. Don't worry, it's pretty normal for people to just open the door in their underwear here, so it wasn't too awkward, just super funny. 

And on a spiritual note, my parents suggested to me a few weeks ago that I have everyone bear a 30 second personal testimony about Jesus at the end of district council because my ward did that for fast and testimony meeting and they said it went really well. So I did that at the end of my last district council, and the spirit was super strong and it was awesome. So I'd suggest that you all try that next chance you get, because it's a cool experience

Well, that's all for this week. Have a great one 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
