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 :))

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
