Gewoon doen, gewoon ...don't

Hoi iedereen!!

This week flew by, but it also crawled... haha :) There were a lot of ups and a lot of hard parts! But so it goes. 

- I said bye to Z Lund this week... that was sad. But she's home now with her family, so that's happy:)

- I saw Z Lay, my MTC comp!!!!!! She finally made it to Nederland and even though I'm not serving close to her yet, she's a lot closer now than we were before;)

- I got my new comp!!! Z Medico is just out of training and we're ready to PARTY here in Nederland together. 

- ...I translated for Sunday school at church!! Holy cow, the gift of tongues is real. It was wayyyy far from perfect, but she understood more than if I hadn't been doing anything!! I felt very accomplished and grateful for my studying and for the gift of tongues :))

- We went flower street contacting!! I was so proud of myself haha!! Between the two of us we have very little street contacting experience. But we did it!! And we met a lady who gave us her number and asked to come to church with us, so that was an amazing little miracle. :)

- We've been riding our bikes a ton this week!!! It's been so fun. I love it!!! ...I decided it'd be ok to wear a dress while biking. The weather was gorgeous and I didn't want to change. ... I had to get a little creative to keep it from going everywhere, so I learned "gewoon don't." 🤷‍♀️😅

I've been learning a lot about myself this week. At the beginning of the week I totally stressed myself out over every little thing. It was rough haha. But through the support of my comp and so many amazing people here, I've realized not to be so hard on myself. It's something I've always struggled with haha, but God doesn't ask us to be perfect. He's not expecting me to be a perfect missionary, I don't have to have a perfect plan for the day, I'm probably not going to know the perfect Dutch word. And you know what, that's ok!! There's always room to grow and improve. So many people are willing to help us when we ask. And you can always use Google translate haha :))

Het komt goed, iedereen. Things are gonna get better!! ❤ I'm so grateful for my chance to be a missionary and learn everything I can. De tijd gaat snel, dus geniet ervan toen jij kunt!!

Ik hou van jullie!!!

Love,

Zuster Weaver

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...
