Hoi iedereen!!

Ah! What a good week. It's the first week of the transfer, but I can just tell it's going to be amazing already!! :) My companion and I have the same first name, so that's pretty awesome. We spell it differently... which isn't that big of a surprise haha! Transfers were really fun. I got to see so many missionaries!! Including the one and only Sister Rogers :D And Zuster Dunford!! Just so many good people, I love all of them. 

We've met with a lot of members from the ward this week! It's been so fun to spend time in their homes and get to know them. A lot of them have had younger kids. They always apologize for the chaos haha, but it's an unnecessary apology. Sometimes I miss the noise and chaos that lots of kids bring! I've developed the ability to ignore small children running around and focus on what people are saying. It's served me well on my mission haha!! 

We met with two members on Wednesday for lunch. They are both the SWEETEST and so fun!! The member hosting us for lunchd got so excited that I was going to the Netherlands. She had Dutch chocolate ice cream and a Danish pastry, which she knew wasn't quite right--but it was pretty close. ;) She said for next week's dessert she's going to do Dutch apple pie haha! We had other members give us Belgian chocolate, too. We also ate some Belgian chocolate lava cakes. I told Sis Arnold she was pretty lucky to be my companion, cuz I bring in all the good treats haha!!

Highlights from this week:

  • I realized you don't need to cut a bell pepper up to eat it. The only thing stopping you from eating it like an apple is your imagination.. :)
  • The chocolate lava cakes from earlier? One was spilled on the carpet. It was not a good time. But now that spot in our apartment is cleaner than the rest of the carpet!
  • We decorated a gingerbread house with some cute elderly ladies at an assisted living home!
  • There are lots of skeleton lawn decorations still up from Halloween. People have just ...put Santa hats on them! Or taken the top half off and ..left the hips just standing on their front lawn?? 
  • I'm slowly but surely teaching some of the elders in my district Dutch!! We're starting with "super leuk." I appreciate their commitment to learning hahaha!

Ik hou van jullie!!! Merry early Christmas :))

Love,

Z Weave

Hallo iedereen!! Ik hoop dat jullie een fantastische week hebben gehad :) ik ook, trouwens. - went to Delft last pday!! Turns out the more delft stores you go in, the more things you will buy.  - I bought a delft nativity!!!! 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 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...
