Talk about a quick week.... we had an excellent exchange with Elder Birch. He's really striving for improvement in every aspect of life. These last few weeks have been pretty humbling for Elder Tollefson and I. We've decided to use the lack of progress in the area as an opportunity to enlist the ward members as Amuleks, as we really need them and their help. Seeing success with that has been encouraging. It's hard to believe how quickly this transfer is already going by... If at all possible, please keep Elder Tollefson and I together next transfer. We have capacity for a 3rd missionary if needed, and would love to show anyone you send us the joy of missionary work in the Christmas season :) We did see quite the miracle this week, which came by way of meeting Kwasi. He's a neurosurgeon here in Farmington, who's now investigating the church. While there, we shared a lesson on the central role of agency in this life, and how it's best used in choosing to follow the Savior. He committed to begin reading the Book of Mormon, and we're excited to see where things go in the future with him. Through learning a little more of how Kwasi became who he is, the Spirit testified to me rather strongly of the importance of time. The wise use of it yields incredible results: we become like the Savior, and progress His work on the Earth as we help others to do the same. An unwise use of it yields, to put it simply, damnation (in just about every way). That's a lesson I will apply to the rest of my life.
In other news, today is Halloween! Which means we need to be inside by 6pm. Tomorrow is MLC, which means missionaries are coming in from all over the mission. It's going to be a missionary party at the assistant's home.... Woo!
Have a wonderful week,
I love you all!!
Elder Kraus
