Hey Y'all!

I swear this passed week didn't even happen.. When I go to think about what we did its all just a blur. But it was a fun week though so that's good! We got a lot and made a lot of crazy memories haha! 

To start the week off we had to go pay a ticket cause Elder Dutson is a speed demon and got pulled over.... hah it wasn't his fault though, There wasn't a speed limit sign near by and he was going with the flow of traffic which just happened to be 10 MPH over the speed limit and our little speed box decided not to work.. and of course the people the Police decide to pull over was the little Mormon Boys.... BUT we got it all taken care of :)

We were able to go on an exchange with the Phillippi Elders this week down in Phillippi WV and that was an adventure as always.. haha they had a baptism that night and their investigator wanted us to come down for it. It was great to see her enter into the covenant with her Heavenly Father. She will continue on the rest of her life to bless the lives of those around her! Earlier that day Elder Jensen and I were driving back to the apartment and we ended up hitting a goose.... SO I threw it in the back of the truck and cooked it up for all the Elders that night... Nothing beats a nice plate of road kill goose!! :) It made for a good story lol.

Missions are awesome! I have loved being in the service of my Lord these past 18 months. They have been filled with amazing memories and spiritual experiences that have changed my life forever. Living the law of consecration really puts into perspective the blessings that the gospel has to offer us. One of my favorite quotes from Elder Neal A. Maxwell is:

 "Consecration is the only surrender that's also a victory." 

This quote is so true! As we consecrate our selves to the will of our Heavenly father we see our lives change and we see the lives of those around change as well. I want to invite you all to look at things in your life that you can do to consecrate your self to better follow Gods will. I promise you that whatever you are searching for in life will come, and you will know that it was by the power of your Heavenly Father's hand. I love you all and hope you have a great week! Have a Happy Valentines Day!!
