Elder McKade Kerr Mission

Hello! Wow, this week was so awesome! We had so many miracles. It was probably one of the coolest weeks of my whole mission. I'll try to explain some of the stuff that happened so you can understand a little bit. First off, I don't remember if I already said this, but I am kind of in a trio half of the time now. I live with three other missionaries, and one of them works in the office half of the time, but his companion doesn't. So his companion is with me and Elder Newman for half of the week. And when we are together we need to try to cover both of our areas. It is really weird how it is organized, but it just kind of had to be like that this transfer. Anyway, we were all a little frustrated at first because we knew it would be harder to teach all the people we wanted to and to plan and work effectively, but I think that God saw all of our hard work and desire to be obedient and He blessed us because of it. I won't share everything that happened, but I'll ...

ma Hello!  Well, this is the moment you've all been waiting for. I took pictures. I brought my converter. It is all in the computer working properly. So instead of sending a long boring email with no pictures, I'll send a short boring email with pictures. Yay! I'll just briefly describe my week, and bear a little testimony too. This was transfer week, which means drive to and from the airport a million times for us, haha. It was fun to be with the missionaries going home, so that was cool. And it was really sad to drop off Elder Steed. I really loved being his companion, but I know he'll do great things in his new area. And now I'm with Elder Newman, who is super awesome, and also my same height, so that's nice. I'm super excited for this transfer though, some good things are gonna happen.  I just want to share a cool experience that happened this week. I was kind of nervous that Elder Steed was leaving, because he has been in Barbados for...

Hello! So, funny story. I haven't hardly taken any pictures this past month, which is why I haven't been sending any in my emails. But I made a goal to actually take pictures this week so I'd have some to send. So I took lots of cool pictures this week, and I was so excited to send them too all of you so you wouldn't be disappointed. We have a lot we need to get done today, so we planned out the day really good, and already got a lot of it done. But now here I am, doing my emails, and I got out my camera, looked at all my pictures and what I wanted to send, and then I realized that I had forgotten to bring the card reader for my camera. So I can't actually send any of the pictures. Haha, whoops, sorry. But I'll send them next week! Other than that this week has been pretty normal. We got transfer calls this week. Me and Elder Steed get to help call all the companionships and tell them their transfer calls, so that was fun. But sadly Elder Steed is gettin...

Hello! Well, I don't want to say that I had a week-long vacation to Guadeloupe this week, but I kind of had a week-long vacation to Guadeloupe this week, haha. Elder Teixeira from the Presidency of the 70 came to speak, so President wanted us to come too. He only spoke on Thursday, but because of delayed flights, and how flights work between the French and English islands, we left Tuesday morning and got back Saturday night. And we had a couple other things to do Sunday, so we had about 4 hours of proselyting in our area this week, haha. So that part was a bummer, but everything we did do was super great. I'll try to share just a couple highlights. First off is I got to be in Guadeloupe again! I love all the missionaries there and got to stay with Elder Anderson and Elder Griffin, who are both awesome, so it was a party. But I think the best part was Thursday night when I got to see all of the members from my old branch. It was so great to see them again. I can't ev...

Hello everyone! I suppose you have all heard about the new rule that we can now call our families on Pday, so I used up most of my time today talking to them. So I'll just share a super short story from this week in my email today. We went to a Chinese restaurant called the Guang Dong. Well, that's the story. Have a great week! Love you all! Love, Elder Kerr These are pictures of us at the Guong Dong, and my new address so that I can pretend that maybe one of you will actually mail something to me. Or, maybe these are three different pictures and I clicked on the wrong ones. I could check, or I could be more adventurous and just send it. I'll do that. Have a great one!

Hello! Before I forget, I totally forgot to write about something that happened last week that I wanted to write about. We got invited to go to a church called "The Door Christian Fellowship church" But they mostly just called it The Door. Anyway, we went, and it was quite the experience. They started by singing a bunch of Christian songs, and they weren't too bad, but it went on for a little while. One of the songs was called "My God is awesome", and I think that was the only line in the song. The song was maybe five minutes long. Good stuff. But then after that the preacher started talking about the offering bucket or whatever you call it, the thing they pass around and people donate money. He talked for maybe another 20 minutes just about that and why it was so important to donate. And then the guest speaker got up and started praying and blessing people very loud and irreverently so that they would be blessed financially. By then we had already been ther...

Hello! How are you all? I hope you're doing great. I've been really excited to email this week because so much cool stuff has happened, but then I got here today and I don't remember anything at all from this week, haha. So I guess I'll just keep writing random stuff until something good pops into my head. Now that transfer week is over we are pretty much just doing normal missionary work, which is nice. President did want our help with a couple small things, but nothing that took very much time. And now that he is doing zone conferences it'll be another week or two before he has time to be here and work on anything else. We have 7 islands and a small chunk of South America (French Guiana) in our mission, each one its own zone, so President has lots of flying and work to do while he goes around doing zone conferences. He's started only traveling about every other transfer for zone conferences, and just doing the other ones over skype. The skype ones ar...
