October 27, 2014 - Hi All, Here are some snippets from the latest update we received:

This last week Dakota went tracting and knocking on random doors which he hadn't done since the first day he got there. He ran into a lady that wasn't interested and it was Elder Bleyle's turn to talk so he was talking and she was telling them to go away. All of the sudden she looked at Dakota "super weirdly" and says "ooooooo you got a glow about you, you are glowing like and angel or something" He told her why he was and then she told them that she was busy cooking at the moment so they could come back and share a message with her some other time.

Sunday they went to a concert at a Baptist Church...one of their members was singing in it and then some kids from a bible study they go to were playing so they went to support them. Dakota said "It was actually really really cool". He took a picture at the bible study. He wasn't sure if it was going to be his last time at the bible study or not but he didn't get transferred so he will be in Lanett for another 6 weeks for sure.





Last Wednesday he went on shepherding visits but they weren't able to see their recent convert so they went to go see Tim and PJ. He is the one that dropped them and told them not to come back they worked their magic and were able to share Joseph Smith's first vision with him and talk about that a little bit. They were on splits with members so he got to drive around in a Camaro the whole time which was kinda cool. He says not as cool as the spitfire though.





He is doing well and sends his love.  He hasn't had a chance to write many of you back. By the time he gets through email and sends us the update he is usually out of time.  But he really appreciates all the letters and emails, and wants you to know he is very thankful for your prayers and well wishes.

He asks us regularly how our scripture study is coming.  Here are the scriptures for the week:
Alma 5:21,40&41,7:7,20,26&27,9:12,19-24
