Zone Conference is LEUK

-
Hallo iedereen!!!

Wow. Another week. It flies by so fast, I swear... this week was so good!! We had an AMAZING, spirit filled zone conference. It was so good. I took like 8 pages of notes! One thing President emphasized during ZC was teaching those who are excited for baptism. We shouldn't be dragging them along, trying to force them to keep their commitments. We aren't here to plant seeds any more, the field is white! All ready to harvest!! Sister Rogers and I started the week with about 11 people in our teaching pool. Due to the counsel we received in ZC, we dropped 4 and have 6 more on a "pending" list.... we currently have one friend who's progressing and loves learning about the Gospel. And man, are we grateful for that one friend!! It's taken a lot of faith to let so many people go... but we've been promised a lot of blessings for doing this. As we show the Lord we have faith, He will lead us to those who are ready for baptism and excited to accept His word! He has them ready, He's just waiting for us to show that we are ready to find them. 

We were knocking on doors this week, right after we'd dropped two of our friend's. This sweet old lady answered a door and let us in!! We taught her the first lesson and gave her a Book of Mormon and said we'd come back that weekend. She didn't seem to remember much, she kept repeating questions throughout our visit... but we were hoping her daughter, who she was staying with, was the one who was ready to hear the Gospel. We were so excited to have found a new friend! We went back this weekend though. A man answered the door and said the lady was his mom and had only been staying with them for the day... he was very not interested, although he was polite about it. He had a little girl with him who was absolutely terrified of us too.... that was not a great feeling.... found a friend and lost her within a week. All right! The Lord will provide, eventually... even if He hasn't quite yet. But it's ok! He will!!

There have been a few spots of discouragement this week. But that's how it goes! Overall, it's been a great week. :) ZC was amazing. I loved seeing alle de zendelingen there! Interviews with President and Sister Crankshaw were so good too. Dutch study has been a little rough, but I've been working on learning primary songs and that's been good. So when I'm sad I just sing to myself in Dutch. It's a win win for everyone involved!! It's hard to believe I've been here for almost a full transfer already. Time flies when you're having fun!! Not when you're discouraged, but just go to bed and it will be better in the morning haha ;)

Ik hou van jullie!! De kerk is waar!! Ik ben heel dankbaar voor Jezus Christus!! Hij houdt van u en van mij :))

Love,
Sister Weaver

Y'all I'm so excited hahaha, who needs clogs when you have a delft nativity. 🇳🇱🎄 - we went in delft stores that ranged from PROFESSIONAL don't look at it cuz you can't afford to breathe on it, to this one where a lady was sitting there painting the very delft pieces that were all over this amazing room. It was so cool :) - also there was a Christmas store. Yes. It made me very happy.

 You guys, Home MTC. That's it. That's all I have to say. Haha just kidding, it's a lot of fun!! Pretty exhausting. But my teachers are super cool! I'm trying to get to know my district more, but there hasn't been a lot of bonding time yet. Hopefully that will come. My comp is the  GREATEST.  She is super cool!! We both love to read and we both were in orchestra growing up, so that's fun! She loves Jane Austen, so we bonded a little over Pride & Prejudice ;) 😂  My cute comp Zuster Lay We've had zoom workshops across the whole MTC with all the new missionaries. Shout out to Vanem Peel and Elder McBride cuz I know you guys and it was fun to see you haha. We have roughly 6 hours of class everyday, plus a one hour workshop some days, and 3 hours of study. I think I clocked about 10 hours of screen time on Thursday... If you're doing HMTC, invest in some blue light blocking glasses. They're nice haha. Also make sure that you find time to exercise, be...

GOD IS GOED 😁

God is goed, that's all I have for this week :)) BUT we'll go into a little more depth: - We had interviews with my mission president and his wife this week!! SO good, I love them :) - I GOT MY CELLOOOOO it made me so happy - I'm part of a music video now with my cello, so that's taking up all our time this week. I've literally never arranged anything before so it kind of stretched my musical abilities. But I didn't realize how much I missed playing with other people 😭 there's this certainly feeling you only get playing music with other people. I haven't had that feeling this much my entire mission. It made me so happy. We were sitting there playing and I was just grinning because it felt so good to play with people again!! And to play the cello again. Ahhh. Just God is goed, dat is alles. - We've had lots of service with our members recently, which has been so good! I love them so much. I feel like I might be leaving at the transfer, which breaks m...
