Week of bikes, tiny houses, giant dogs, and other happenings...‏

Gooooooooooood Morning!

This week was a little different; a lot of unexpected things came up, but it was great!! Here's a quick play-by-play:

Monday: Did a family home evening at the Hugentobler's home with some investigators and recent converts! It. Was. Awesome. Want to make a missionary's day? Invite them over to teach someone in your home! We shared the Easter Initiative (look up easter.mormon.org when you get the chance) and discussed our testimonies of the Savior :) Twas wonderful.

Tuesday: Had to run into Farmington for some things; picked up some better bikes whilst there (the tandem was awesome, but our vehicle coordinator thought it miight be a little more professional riding normal bikes, which is understandable), and had dinner/planned how best to coordinate missionary work in the stake with Bro. Farley.

Wednesday: Stake Vitality meeting!! Also had to change the truck's oil. We did get to have a great meeting with Brother Kehn though; he's really coming along on the path of discipleship :)

Thursday: District Meeting in Cortez; exchange with Elder Kartchner from the 4th ward there!! There were some issues with the bikes, so I also got to put on my bike mechanic hat (it's funny how necessity leads to sudden capability XD) Also had a lesson with one of our members who owns a >200 lb dog. Pictures attached, but it was awesome! 

Friday-Sunday: Nothing too crazy or notable; got the opportunity to teach Cody at the Fenberg's home on Sunday. We taught him the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Quite possible one of my favorite lessons to teach, because it is the way to come closest to Christ. Through the continual process of building our faith in Jesus Christ, changing to become more like him through repentance, making and renewing promises with God through covenants and ordinances, and then receiving the Holy Ghost in greater measure, we can improve and be more of the people God needs us to be each day.

I love this Gospel. I know Christ lives. I know that the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints is His kingdom and the vessel by which children of God can fully live the Gospel of Jesus Christ and thereby be truly happy. I know it. The Book of Mormon is the word of God. Joseph Smith saw God the Father and Jesus Christ. Thomas S. Monson is a prophet of God on the earth today. 

Praying that everyone has an incredible week!!

Love you all, 


Elder Kraus
