December 29, 2014 - Here is a quick update from Dakota's letters and pictures from our Christmas Call.  Such a lovely Christmas and looking forward to the new year!

This week was really good but yesterday and today are kinda miserable because it is pouring rain. We taught 30 lessons this week which was crazy!! usually we get like half that...or at least in Lanett we got half of that but its a new area and it is new numbers. It is so cool to see how much more receptive people are down here when it is Christmas and a lot of people are thinking about it. The He is the Gift initiative is working really well too, so that is super cool. It is the reason we were able to teach so many lessons. I am slacking at getting you guys scriptures this month but partially cause you got all of them for me on my advent calendar so I will start those back up next week for the new year.

Elder Saurey and I are trying to get a group started here in Fitzgerald next week so that will be a lot of work and that will be super nice and cool and it will make it easier for people to come to church so they will become more active. So far it isn't that much more work being a district leader but I was just assigned a few weeks ago.

Well anyway we had tons of fun this week. Also, Elder Saurey is teaching me how to play guitar. We are looking forward to 2015.
Love, Elder Cobler
