Hey Everyone!!
I have LOVED my mission.. It has meant the world to me.. I'm so grateful for the change that I've gone through and helped others to go through.. I have a very personal testimony of the changing power of the Atonement of Jesus Christ. It is real, and truly does transform you. Words can't express the gratitude I have for these two years, it truly has been incredible.. It's by far been the hardest thing I've ever done in my life, but I've never done anything that has been more worth it.. These have been the best 2 years for my life, and I wouldn't trade them for anything in the world.
One of the things that I'm really excited for when I get home is first off to hug my mom!! :) BUt I'm also super excited to be a member missionary.. It really is so important, and I'm excited to continue to share the gospel as a normal member of the church.. It's going to be incredible..
Well, I'm at a loss for words.. but I will continue to finish these last few days strong and when Thursday come, I'll be happy to say as Paul, "the time of my departure is at hand. I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith"
For the Last time,
One Love!
Elder Dustan Kraus
Well done Elder. From a former JKM missionary I commend you for your faithful service.
ReplyDeleteSo happy for you Elder Kraus! I could tell that you loved the people and loved being a missionary. I truly enjoyed your letters that your momma posted. I felt I was able to get to know you and appreciate the great person that you are. I know saying goodbye to the people in Jamaica will be difficult for you because your heart has been changed. I hope you will be able to come back to Rockwood to give us your homecoming. God Speed Elder!
ReplyDeleteMy son Elder Graft just showed up Tuesday night in the wonderful land of Jamaica. I hope he loves it as much as you did. Thanks for a little look into the work he gets to enjoy for the next two years!
