One of the biggest struggles of being a missionary is finding your groove.  Kyle Van Genderen (conveniently named Elder Van) learned early why it's important to be the missionary God wants you to be-- YOU.  Kyle is from Meridian, Idaho and currently lives just north of there in Star.  He is an English M.A. and husband and father of 2 (soon to be 3).  He is working on his PhD teaching English Literature and Speech to high school students at an alternative school.  As a teenager, Kyle had a life altering experience that taught him how to rely on the spirit.  He truly became converted to the Gospel.  Having been blessed with a solid testimony and the spiritual gift of faith,  Kyle was devoted to become a dedicated missionary.  He shares some great insight and a series of wonderful experiences that will help motivate and inspire.
