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

I made it!!! I'm here!! As a zendeling in Virginia!! It's my first P day in the field, and WOW. It's been crazy. So so crazy.  Monday we flew to DC!! There were 25 or so missionaries that flew in. It's the biggest group they've had in a long time. We met President and Sister Crankshaw and the APs and drove to the mission home. We had dinner and a little meeting, then went to a hotel to stay the night. Tuesday we met at the stake center for a few more meetings, then we met our trainers!!!!! My trainer is Sister Rogers and she is AMAZING. We're like the same person I love her haha!! I'm so grateful I got a trainer I get along with, It's definitely made the transition to missionary life easier.  We do a lot of service!! Last week we served at a food pantry, two thrift stores, and an education farm. It was so fun!!! I had yellow watermelon for the first time and it was DELICIOUS. We had a few lessons with members, which was fun!! They're a

God Loves Us--Rainbows and Prayers

 You guys!!  Ah this is crazy, it's already been two weeks. ....And it's only been two weeks. There is just so much!!  But a few stories from this week!!  Wednesday we had district council. It was so fun!! We played a version of Jeopoardy, put together by the district leaders. It involved nerf guns and lots of random questions. As you do, you know.  I was kind of struggling after district council. I have this problem where I want to know everything but I want to skip the process of actually learning  it. Niet prima... everything is this way. getting to know people, learning dutch, learning how to be a good missionary, literally everything. There's nothing you can do that you'll be good at the first time!! And that frustrates me sometimes!! It was hitting me pretty hard on Wednesday. I asked God for something, like just a way to know He was still there and he was listening. It wasn't even a formal prayer. Just kind of a thought, asking for help. I made it

"I'm not interested"

Hallo iedereen!! Here we are again. It's funny how some weeks fly by, and others just ... don't. This week was a little longer. We've been doing a lot of finding! And haven't really found much! We knocked a door on Tuesday. A lady answered, but she didn't speak english. She had her son come talk to us. We said we had a message to share about families! And he said we could come back the next day!!! So we went back Wednesday to teach him and his family. But ... his dad answered the door through the ring doorbell. (I don't like those things. At all.) He said thanks for coming, but because of our religion we can't talk about. Which was weird, because we've definitely talked to other people of that religion before. But ok, I guess... We at least planted a seed in the son. Hopefully! We went knocking on Friday night. Sis Rogers had a prompting to go to a specific road. We were so pumped and ready. We got to this road and both felt like we should knock on a hou
