HELLO, BONJOUR, IAORANA!!! I hope that you al had a great week! This week was super, super, super AWESOME! We had the privilege of having President Nelson here in Tahiti this last week! And let me tell you, it was AWESOME!  Waiting to walk out and sing to the Prophet  All the missionaries on Tahiti participated We had a blast hearing from Elder Haleck and his wife, Elder Gong and his wife, and President Nelson and his wife!

HELLO Everyone!!! I hope you all had a great week this last week! This was a fun week for Elder Harris and I! We had another baptism this last weekend. Her name is Maire.

Elder Harris, Maire and me On Saturday morning our district decided to do a car wash! Is was SO much fun! We all had a great time! I love being able to have fun, but at the same time serve others.   Serving others is fun to do!

Iaorana!! I hope you are all doing well this week! This week was a good week! A little slower than normal but still good! So it looks like I will be staring in my area for my last transfer and finishing my mission here! I am actually really excited to finish my mission here! I love this area and all the members! I will also be staying with Elder Harris. This past weekend we had another baptism! We have been so lucky lately with having such good investigators. And the person that baptized her was her older brother who left for his mission last night! It was cool to see. His is someone that I have gotten to know really well while serving here. I am super happy for him to go serve a mission! I am excited to start my last transfer! I can't wait to work hard and give it my all! I love my mission and all the things I have learned and continue to learn! Elder Harrison came back to visit! I hope you all have a great week! I love you guys! Elder Kyle Van Lindt
