Week 63 - Goodbye to Punaauia

Image
Hello Everyone! TRANSFERS!! I am getting transfered! I am going to the Zone of Papeari and I will still be a zone leader there. I will be with Elder Peck who was in the MTC the same time as me! I am SO excited to be serving there with Elder Peck! It is down towards the bottom of Tahiti! This week we had a Multi Zone conference and it was so good to see everyone there. I always love seeing the other missionaries! Elder Haleck and his wife were there and they talked to us, so that was really awesome. After the conference we had a meeting with the Zone Leaders that were there and that was super fun.  Elder Koyle, Elder Calves (from France), me and Elder Larsen Multi Zone Conference I will be sad to leave Punaauia, but I am ready for a change! I have a feeling this next area is going to be my best! Sorry I don't have a ton of time to write today!  Saying goodbye to members in Punaauia I love you all! Elder Kyle Van Lindt

Hello Everyone! I hope that you all had a great week this past week! This week was a pretty good week here in Punaauia! We had the opportunity to go to the Temple TWICE this week! We went on Tuesday as a district, because it was finally our turn. I love the Temple and the spirit and calmness I feel when I am there. It is always a great experience when we go to the Temple! On Saturday, we went back to the Temple with Leai and Angele to do baptisms for the dead. There is no better feeling then seeing our recent converts in the Temple! We were blessed this week! Elder Larsen, Leai, Angele and me The sister's made us banana bread this week and it was SO good! They made it for us because we fixed their bikes for them. I can't tell you how many times I have fixed a bike on my mission! Fixing bikes Yummy banana bread! This week I have been reading a ton out of the Book of Mormon and it is gold! I have been finding so many answers to my questions in that book
