Elder Christian Fyffe

Letter from Mission President...

Sorry for taking so long in responding,  We have had Elder Nielsen from our Area Presidency here and it has been a bit busy.  I talked with Elder Fyffe on Sunday Night and read him your letter.  He was glad to hear from the family.  They had two baptisms this last week and the work is progressing well.  They are doing a great job.  Great missionaries.  I think they know everyone on the island by now. 

They took a small boat with a member to a small neighboring island to meet with some investigators.  There were about 9 people I believe.  They eat a lot of fish and they have no running water.  They shower from water collected in a barrel from the rain storms.  They also wash their clothes with rain water as well.  He had a cold a couple of weeks ago and so was a bit under the weather but is doing fine and back in good form. 

What an experience they are having and what a significant change is being made in their lives and the lives of the people they teach.  His companion is Elder Sorensen from Richfield Utah and they seem to be getting along great.  Time is flying by and only another month before they return to Papeete for their release meeting.

Thanks for all of your support and know that we love Elder Fyffe.  He is always so pleasant to be around and he loves the people and they love him.  Thanks for sharing him with us.  We are very fortunate to have him here.
