I'M GOING TO THE NETHERLANDS!!!!!!!!

Hallo iedereen :)

It's been a good week hehe :)

So first things first--I got an email about starting my visa stuff this week!! And my estimated departure date is November 24th!!!!! The day before Thanksgiving, also 5 days before my birthday haha.... :) Happy birthday to meee i'm going to the Netherlandsssss :D I was not expecting the email at all. I've been trying to focus on the work here in Virginia and not be too worried about leaving. I figured it'd be another few months, at least. But suddenly I'm just hoping I'll make it to Zone conference next transfer! I'm so excited to go, but I'm so sad to leave... I've made so many amazing friends. But there will be amazing people wherever you go! (I just have to remember that haha ;)) so yay!!!! nederlands :D

That was the biggest thing to happen this week. It was kind of a big thing, so yeah that's fun haha :D I spent a good two hours at the mission office on Thursday working on my visa. I have almost everything figured out already. It's not done yet, but it will be soon!!

We had exchanges on Saturday!! I love exchanges. It's so fun being able to talk to and get to know other missionaries. I went with Sister Blettenberg, and we had a great time. It's crazy how easy it is to become friends with someone sometimes. It was a lot of fun to talk with her and learn more about her!

We've had lots of adventures this week. We were supposed to have a "thank you" BBQ for the volunteers at a nature preserve we serve at. So the whole zone rolls up (cuz we all serve there) Thursday night for dinner, it's a ways away for a lot of us. So we drove 30 minutes or so to get there... ....then we get there and figure out we had the wrong date. lol. so we all drove home, then came back again on Friday. Second time's the charm haha ;D It was really fun! My zone is kind of bomb. Just lots of cool zendelingen. 

Other things:

- We did line dancing for YSA FHE last Monday. I partied HARD. It was so fun haha! We learned the basic step of the cha-cha too. Sis Rogers told me I had to be a little careful, as a representative of the Lord I shouldn't have lots of hip movement... which is what cha-cha is all about... so that was hard for me but luckily I survived. 😂

- I HELD A FROG. and I pet a frog!! but then I held him too hehe :) his name is forg. Not because that's the Dutch word for frog, but because it's Sister Weaver's word for frog. FORG 🐸

- We had a bomb district activity today. Carving pumpkins and playing spikeball! I'm still really bad at spikeball, but I got better haha! It's crazy how when you practice something, you get better at it... interesting.... 🤔

- I made a pumpkin roll for district council last week. and it was AMAZING. And everyone loved it haha, so I made another one for our district activity today. because they're just freaking delicious. #superlekker

- I got a box of sunshine from my family this week and it made me smile :)

So yeah! A crazy week, but it's been so good :D Pray for Evelyn still. We weren't able to meet last week, but we're meeting tonight. It'll be great. But still pray. ;)

ik hou van jullie!!! De kerk is waar!! Life is exciting!!!!

Love, Z Weaver

Hallo iedereen!! Ik hoop dat jullie een fantastische week hebben gehad :) ik ook, trouwens. - went to Delft last pday!!

Y'all I'm so excited hahaha, who needs clogs when you have a delft nativity. đŸ‡ŗ🇱🎄 - 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 can see the picture by clicking on the link below. 👇 - Richard, our friend that we've been meeting with for months, has been very distant lately. Leaving us on read, the likes.

 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...
