Morning Inside! / Sent April 1, 2019

Hello everyone!

I've got a little bit of a funny story to share. So when we knock on doors here, we always yell in too. So if it's morning we say "Good morning inside", or if it's later we say "afternoon inside" or "evening inside". I learned that my first day in the mission, and even though it's different on the French islands, that's what I've always done on the English islands. But there was an activity for the young single adults on Barbados this week, and we went to the end of it. They were sharing stories about being with missionaries, and how they always think it's so funny that missionaries always yell the word 'inside' when we contact houses. It turns out that most people here just yell "good morning" or "good evening", and don't actually say the word inside. That's just something missionaries do. Whoops. It only took me over 20 months to learn that, haha. So I thought that was pretty funny.

Also, we had a sweet experience yesterday. We are teaching a girl named Shakeena who is super cool, and is on date to be baptized on April 13th. She came to church for the first time yesterday, and she loved it! And near the end of the testimony meeting, she got up and bore her testimony! It was her first time there, and we never even told her to do that. But she got up and talked about how much her life has changed since we started meeting with her, and how excited she is for her baptism, and it was so awesome! Tons of members went up and talked to her afterward
too, so she already knows tons of members now. I'm super excited for her.

Well, that's about all for this week. I hope you all have a great week, and all have a great time watching conference! I'm so excited! I know that President Nelson is a true prophet, and I can't wait to hear what he will share with us! Have a great one!

Love, Elder Kerr 

Here are some cute kittens that we saw, and also a picture of a creepy clown doll that we found. We've been hiding it around the apartment to scare each other. It's pretty funny.

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
