Visual Basic XML Question

Hello Experts - venturing into dangerous territory (for me at least) today.
I'm experimenting with using a web service to go through an XML data set and return a value based on a supplied parameter.  In this case, match a URL to a particular Project
Here's an example of the XML file:

<Response xmlns:i="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns="http://schemas.datacontract.org/2004/07/">
<Result>
<NumberOfRecords>9</NumberOfRecords>
<TotalNumberOfRecords>9</TotalNumberOfRecords>
</Result>

Now here - (and please be gentle folks - not a programmer but I'm trying to learn) - is what I've attempted to code to return the value.  

Imports System.Web
Imports System.Web.Services
Imports System.Web.Services.Protocols
Imports System.Xml

' To allow this Web Service to be called from script, using ASP.NET AJAX, uncomment the following line.
' <System.Web.Script.Services.ScriptService()> _
<WebService(Namespace:="http://tempuri.org/")> _
<WebServiceBinding(ConformsTo:=WsiProfiles.BasicProfile1_1)> _
<Global.Microsoft.VisualBasic.CompilerServices.DesignerGenerated()> _
Public Class CFTGetSurveys2
     Inherits System.Web.Services.WebService

    Dim Link As String

    <WebMethod()> _
    Public Function HelloWorld(ByVal ProjectNumber As String) As String


        Dim EntireXML As String = "https://localhosthost/api/surveyssent?UserName=feedback@company.com&Password=company&output=xml"
        Dim doc = XDocument.Load(EntireXML)

        Dim query = From cust In doc...<List> _
                    Where cust.<Survey>.<Project>.<Number>.Value = ProjectNumber And cust.<Survey>.<SurveyTemplate>.<Id>.Value = "95" _
                    Select Link = cust.<Survey>.<Recipients>.<Recipient>.<LinkToSurvey>.Value

        Return Link




    End Function



End Class

Am I approaching this remotely close to how I should?  I don't get anything returned from the function except the top of the XML file -
