Curious about the subject line? I've all but run completely run out of witty one-liners, so this references that this email is covering Transfer 14, week 3. Woo!
This week was fan-flipping-tastic. In every way :)
Highlight of the week: our lesson with Josie and her family. Talk about a desire to come closer to the Savior. Wow. We've taught her all about the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and she's preparing to be baptized on the 31st of December. This week, we began to cover some of the commandments that we live as members of the church. The first one we went over with them was the Word of Wisdom (the Lord's law of health for us--ways to keep our body and spirit healthy. see Word of Wisdom). This is generally a pretty tough one for people to start to live. Josie expressed that she'd been drinking coffee daily for many years. We started to talk to her about the process of overcoming habits and addictions, when she cut us off and explained: "I'm ready to give it up today; it won't be a problem. I'm just glad I know." You should have seen mine and Elder Tollefson's jaws drop. Every lesson with her since then has been remarkably similar. It's been wonderful having the opportunity to be with her as she learns more about the Gospel.
Apart from that, the week has been excellent! Too many things to type about, so we'll leave it at that story :)
OH!! If you'd like a Christmas Card from my companion and I, please email me your address ASAP.
That'll be all. Have a jolly week, and remember the reason for the season (hint: it's Jesus Christ)
Elder Kraus
