Week 85 - Giving Blessings

Hello Everyone!

I hope you all had a great week and that all is well in your lives! This week was another great week for Elder Banthoud and I. We work really well together and we have a great time! Here are a few highlights from this week!

  • Last Monday night we went and gave a blessing at the hospital to a woman who was in a coma.  They thought she was going to die because of how bad her condition was. On Wednesday we went to see how she was doing and she was awake and could talk with us! She is doing great now. I really saw the miracles that can happen with the power and authority of the priesthood!
  • Two of our investigators passed their interveiws this week so we will be having two baptisms this week. It is always exciting to have baptisms!
  • I am starting to lose a little bit of weight. REALLY excited about that!
  • I didn't fall this week on my bike!
  • I studied hard core in the Bible with Elder Banthoud!
I hope you all have a great week! Stay safe and I hope you all enjoy watching the Super Bowl! Make sure to cheer for my RAMS! I love you all!

Elder Kyle Van Lindt

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 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,
