a cello...??

Hallo iedereen!

- We drove to Den Haag this week!! Instead of thinking things through, we accidentally added 4 hours onto our drving that day... Not the smartest decision, but the Lord's work gets done in spite of missionaries who don't always know what they're doing haha! 😅

- We had zone conference this week with Elder Kopischke from the seventy! We talked about the Book of Mormon and how important it is. It really has so much power!! If you haven't read it in a while, please go pick it up. Just one verse can change your day :)

- I played a musical number in zone conference!! I normally go into musical numbers hoping they go perfectly. This one, I just went in with the desire to bring in the Spirit. That was it. And wow--I've never felt this way while playing a piece. It was really special and very spiritual. (And it still sounded really good, so that made me happy too ;) )

- We found THREE new people to teach this week!! That's a new record for me!!! One of our friends got a priesthood blessing at church on Sunday. It was such a powerful spiritual experience for her!! I'm excited to see where she goes in life :)

- We met with another of our friends that we found street contacting a few weeks ago. :) He LOVES the Bible and is so excited to hear about the Book of Mormon! He's also a professional boxer, so hey that's kinda cool haha :D

- It rained a lot this week too, so that was fun. Having your entire day's plans go out the window and ending up knocking a few doors in the pouring rain is the ultimate missionary experience. Just saying, haha!!

I've been thinking this week about how important the Spirit is. One of my takeaways from zone conference is that God does everything with the Spirit. If it's not by the Spirit, it's not of God. (Look up Doctrine & Covenants 50:17-21!) Make an extra effort to feel the Spirit with you this week! I know that as you do so you will recognize more of the hand of the Lord in your life. :)

Ik hou van jullie!!! Always let me know if there's anything I can do for you or anything I can pray for. Or just shoot me an email or a facebook message and tell me hi haha :)

Love,

Zuster Weaver

Bonus points: President Watson told me this week he might rent me a CELLO for the rest of my mission!!!!! Like, a cello for me to play and have with me!!!! I'm SO excited, but I will probably have more updates later. I miss the cello and really really hope it works out and I get one hehe :))

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

 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
