So Apparently....

Hoi Iedereen!!

Another exciting week has come and gone!! Time flies so fast on a mission. Here are some of the highlights of this week!!

 - We recorded audio and video for a music video!! It won't come out for another few weeks, but it was so fun to be a part of.

 - ...we got rear ended..? There were no dents in our bumper, just a few marks on the paint. And very little damage to the other car!! Definitely a blessing that it wasn't worse. We spent an hour or so working on paper work. If you're ever planning on filling an accident form out in Dutch, be sure to have your Google translate handy. Even then you still might not know what's happening. 

 - We had a few amazing lessons with some less active members in our branch!! I love seeing the effect the Spirit has on people. They start wanting to change, to make something better of our lives!! It's so fun to be a part of :))

 - I'm driving now! Driving in the Netherlands is a little different than both VA and UT. I have yet to drive in a huge city like Den Haag or Amsterdam... I'm not super looking forward to it, but freeway driving is similar enough that it doesn't take too much thought haha :)

 - and..... TRANSFER NEWS!!!!! I'm getting a cute sister right outta training and right outta America!! To say I'm EXCITED is an understatement!!!! ....to say I'm nervous and slightly terrified is also an understatement!! I've never been the senior-est companion. And now I am! ...and now it's in Dutch, and I'm in the Netherlands, and the only way I'm going to get through this is with the Lord's help!! So if you want to send up some extra prayers for me and my mental sanity and the gift of tongues, it would be hugely appreciated.... maar het komt goed!!!!!

Ik hou van jullie!! I know the Lord is never going to ask us to do something we can't do. It will always stretch us. It will feel hard, sometimes impossible. But that's when we need to turn to Him!! With God, all things are possible. I will be remembering that in the near future haha :) The enabling power of the Atonement of Jesus Christ is stronger than anything we'll ever experience. Don't forget that!!

Let me know if there's anything I can pray for for you!

Veel liefde,

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...
