week 77 - Waters of Baptism

Hello Everyone!

I hope you all had a great week! This week was a great week for us!

On Saturday we had a baptism! Her name is Lidwine and she is 9 years old. It has been so much fun being able to teach her and help grow her knowledge of the gospel. I had the opportunity to baptize her and it was a great experience! It is one of the best feeling in life!

We were able to go to the Temple this week. Each time I go to the temple I am just amazed at its beauty and peace I feel when I am inside. I love the Temple and being able to go there!

I am so grateful for you all and for all your support! Sorry my emails have been short lately! I promise they will get better soon!

I love you all so much!

Elder Kyle Van Lindt

Week 28 & 29 - Miracles Really Do Happen!!

Image
This week was a week full of miracles! I don't even know which miracle to start with. So we have this investigator named William. He took the missionary lessons about 2 years ago but then he stopped. Then 3 weeks ago he showed up at church with his family, so of course we went over and talked to him and introduced ourselves. One thing leads to another and we are talking about his experience with the missionaries and wondering why he didn't get baptized. My companion, Elder Harrison, asked him why he hasn't been baptized yet and he answered and said it is because him and his wife are not yet married. So then I asked why they weren't married. He replies and says that his wife doesn't want to get married yet, then in the background she comes up and says no they aren't married because he doesn't want to get married. So it was a total misunderstanding between the two of them! So then I was like, ok well why don't you get married? And then Elder Harrison says,...

Week 104 - Mission Accomplished!!

Image
Well ... this is my last letter home as a missionary! These last two years have been the BEST two years of my life. Looking back on all that I have learned, I am grateful and proud to say that I have served a full two year mission! I learned so many things about myself and about the Gospel of Jesus Christ. I will forever be grateful for these two years I spent here in Tahiti. I love these people with all of my heart. They will forever be a part of my life. I like to consider myself half Tahitian! I am also grateful and proud to say that I know this gospel and this church are true. I have become completely converted to the truthfulness of this gospel. I know that our Heavenly Father loves us, and that He wants us to have Joy and Happiness in this life. I know that if we follow His commandments and do our best, we will receive so many blessings in our lives, one being the blessing of eternal life. I know that I will live with my family forever and that I will live with our Heavenly Fat...

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

Image
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...
