Week 90 - Missionary Work

Hello Everyone!

I hope that you all had a great week! This week was awesome for Elder Banthoud and I! We say so many miracles and had so much fun this week!

Yesterday at church we had so many people there! It was crazy! Inactives, investigators, and even the family members of our investigators. It was so awesome! We have been working with an investigator named Amina. She is so awesome and wants to be baptized. This week her husband came to church with her and we will most likely start teaching him this week! It is a miracle because in the beginning he didn't even want his wife to take the lessons with us but now he will be taking the lessons!

Also, another investigator we have been teaching is Vairea! She is super awesome! Her husband wasn't sure about it, so this week we were able to talk with him and fixed a lesson with him! Another miracle! The Lord has been helping us out so much!

We have also seen the miracle of members doing missionary work. Now that the missionary work is progressing the members are becoming more involved and now we are seeing the success of members doing missionary work. I am so grateful for them and their help!

I hope you all have a great week! I love you all!

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!!

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

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
