KLEINE POMPOENEN 🎃😁

-

It's the most wonderful time of the year again. The time of year that has tiny pumpkins. And I LIVE for tiny pumpkins, I absolutely love them. I finally bought some last Tuesday, because they're the best and bring me so much happiness:)

You can't buy happiness, but you can buy tiny pumpkins and sing along to Christmas music and let's be real--that's the same thing.

There was also a lot of Christmas music played this week, it's in full swing hehe. We haven't put the tree up yet but we are planning that party, I'll let you know how it goes. 🎄😁

Other bijzondere gebeurtenissen van deze week:

 - spent literally 20 extra hours in the car, going from Apeldoorn to Utrecht and Gouda and Den Haag and back to Leeuwarden again every time. Geweldig. 

 - Zonecon!!!! Mijn lievelings. I was a little sad cuz I wasn't doing anything musically. ...until the APs look at me 2 minutes before the meeting start and say hey Zr Weaver, you're playing right?? ....no I don't believe so, but I certainly can. So I got to play prelude and the opening song with 30 seconds notice and it made me happy 😁 I love playing the piano!! (If you give me more notice next time I'll play the organ and it'll be cooler haha)

 - carved pumpkins and played sports for zone pday!! The garden center had tiny pumpkins and so much Christmas in the same room I was in HEMEL

 - got to practice another musical number and record the audio for it. I forgot how much I love playing the cello. I've been loving it, I also haven't been planning on going back to an orchestra after the mission until recently and I'm literally so excited:))

 - had a really special lesson with a lady who needs the gospel in her life right now. Zr Hanny and I shared simple testimonies of the Book of Mormon and the spirit was SO STRONG. She had tears running down her face. This book has so much power, it's amazing :)

 - got to see so many of my favorite people this week and do so many of my favorite things, life is good :) ...doesn't mean it's easy haha, but it's certainly good!!

 - spent the night at the mission home cuz we were far away from home and it was late haha. I LOVE President en Zuster Watson. With my whole heart. I got to play their piano for a while too and it made my heart so happy.

Did you know God wants you to be happy?? We are here so we can have JOY!! And not just in the eternities, although certainly then as well. But joy today :) Heavenly Father has given us everything we need to be happy Right Now. That doesn't make life easy, natuurlijk. But if you look for the happy things they are so much easier to find!! He blesses us with gorgeous sunsets and pretty sunrises and amazing people and lekker eten and prachtig music and rainbows and thunderstorms and dutch and cellos and hot chocolate and warm blankets and Christmas socks and so much more :) What has God blessed you with this week that made you happy?? He gave me a lot of stuff, and I know He gave it to you too :)

GOD IS GOED

dat is alles

Maar ik hou van jullie, de kerk is waar, blijf het doden 🤟

Love,

Z Weave

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, 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...
