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 my heart cuz I love these people so much. But I'll see them all again at some point, so it'll be ok :)

- We did service for a less active in our ward. She was saying something about getting ice cream, but with the slight language barrier sometimes we weren't entirely sure what she wanted us to do... the plan turned out we got on our car and her and her dog took the scootmobiel (her electric wheelchair) and we followed them slowly down the road to the little Cafe. We were a little confused but it worked out in the end. And it was pretty funny besides. 😂

I've been studying in the New Testament recently in Matthew. I've loved learning more about the Savior and His life! I read about Peter walking on water this week. I love this story!! When Peter kept his gaze and his focus fixated on Jesus Christ he was able to stay above the storm and waves. It's when he looked away and focused on something else that he began to sink. It's the same way in our lives--when we keep our focus on onze Heiland, we'll be able to survive any storm life sends our way. If we lose track of what's important we'll start to sink. (Matthew 14:27-31) Don't forget to keep your focus on God this week!!

Ik hou van jullie! Let me know if there's anything specific I can pray for :) God is so good!! He really just wants to bless us, and it's amazing!

Love,

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
