Week 49 - Blessings from Service

IAORANA TATOU!!

I hope life is treating you all well. I know school is either out or its getting close to being done so I am sure life is great! Enjoy the vacation! This week was pretty awesome! Here are some highlights!
  • We had Leadership Council this week with all the Zone Leaders in the mission and it was super awesome! Super spiritual and I learned a TON!
  • On Saturday we had nothing planned, but then we filled the day with every aspect of missionary work! We went and visited with members in the morning, found people to teach lessons to, and then we finished the day off with a service project before our Faatamaaraa! We knocked on like 22 doors today, and of those 22 we were able to talk to 17 of them and 5 of them told us we could come back and teach them lessons! It was really awesome seeing the Lord helping us in our missionary work! After that we changed into our P Day clothes to go to our service project. We went to an apartment complex and we each had a trash bag and we went and picked up garbage for an hour. There were a ton of people who saw us and were so grateful and we even had a chance to talk to a few of them.
  • Elder Koyle and I taught the best lesson of our entire mission!
  • Went on a split with Elder Fox this week! We are from the same Stake back home and went to the same High School!
I love you all and hope you have a great week!

Love,
Elder Kyle Van Lindt

Week 82 - Life in the Big City!

Bonjour tout le monde! I hope that you all had a great week and started off the New Year well! I am in my new area and I love it! It is a lot different then my last but I love my new companion! He is from France and we are literally the same person! It makes such a difference in the missionary work when you get along with your companion! The work goes so much smoother and it is a lot more fun! I love it! Like I said last week, I am in the city part of Tahiti, it is different, and there are a ton of people, but I like it! I will admit it is not the best being back on the bike again. I guess the workout is good! Elder Banthoud and I got some champagne this week for the New Year! Bien sur without alcohol! LOL Elder Banthoud and me This week we gave 13 blessings. It is crazy how often we go to the hospital to give blessings! During the week we went and blessed one of our investigators. He was having a lot of pain in his shoulder and lost feeling in his arm and couldn't really

Week 23, 24, 25, 26 - I AM STILL ALIVE!!

I AM STILL ALIVE!! I apologize for no updates this past month! The internet on this little tiny island that I am on wasn't working, so I haven't been able to talk to ANYONE! But I am alive and well!! So much has happened this last month. One of our recent converts here just got married a few weeks ago and we were able to go the wedding! It was so much fun and we were able to eat a ton of weird foods. So, we were about to start eating and this person brings out this huge plate that is covered up and sets it right in the middle of the table. Then they proceeded to uncover this plate and BAM it is a cow head!! They just cooked a cow head for the center piece! And we literally just grabbed meat off the skull of this cow head with our hands and ate it! The craziest part is, it wasn't even that bad! Also, here on this tiny little island there are a TON of wild dogs, and they don't like the missionaries! So for our protection we decided it would be best to buy machetes! No

Week 22 - Tubuai

Image
Hello Everyone! Tubuai is the most beautiful place I have ever been in my life! So I got to Tubuai and the missionary work here is kind of at a stand still. Before I left for Tubuai the Mission President gave me a call and we talked and he told me that he needed me to get out there and get the ball moving again, and said he had faith that I could do it. So I got out here and we got straight to work. Rebuilding the relationship with the members, tons of service projects, a lot of activities at the church and just talking to every single person we see! And WOW, the missionary work is now moving! The members love my companion, Elder Harrison, and I, and we have been getting so many different referrals. I have a strong belief that members and missionary work go hand in hand. It is very important to have that support from the members! So out here in Tubuai everyone has a ton of land and there are a ton of farms! They grow a lot of their own food since there isn't a lot out here. T
