'Im glad everyone had an awesome Christmas. Ok I will just get into the week

So on Tuesday we had a lesson with M. and it was amazing! We taught her that she needs to start developing a testimony and finding answers for herself. We asked her what she thought about the Book of Mormon so far and she said that she thinks its true and we asked her if she believed Joseph Smith was a prophet and she said yes. Elder Kastendieck than asked her what the next step would be when she finds out that the Book of Mormon is true. We all sat there for a while and we told her that the next step would be baptism and she said ''Ya I know''. BOOM!! My brain exploded when she said that. Hopefully we will set a date this week.

Christmas was great on the 24th we ate Raclette and played games with Familie D. On the 25th we went to the Lübkes and ate rabbit and skyped you guys. On the 26th we went to the J.'s and ate goose. We didn't have a white Christmas but the day after it snowed and didn't stop until yesterday so now we have snow everywhere and it is absolutely freezing now haha.

Sunday was awesome. M. didn't come to church and I was a little bit disappointed about that at first and by the end of the meeting I was glad she didn't come... We have a member in our ward who had a problem with the Book of Mormon for years but he still came to church and has been active. well. He gave a talk on Sunday and it was on a topic of his choice so he talked about horses. He literally read every scripture in the Book of Mormon that had horses in it and then he read a scripture that said that all the Horses would be killed in the last days of the Nephites and that's why there wasn't any horses left when Columbus found America and the he said Amen and sat down. WEIRDEST TALK EVER haha. That was his problem all those years? HORSES? REALLY? I am just happy he finally found an answer. haha

Love you all and have a great new year
