Z Weave: aan het GEDIJEN

-

Hoi jullie :)

Once upon a time, in a land far up north, there lived a sister missionary. We'll call her Z Weave. She lived a long and happy life, serving the Lord as His missionary. And this is part of her story :)

Z Weave had a great week! Here are some things she did:

- slept a lot

- cried a lot

- learned a few new Dutch words, shout-out to the taal elders. Ik ben nog gedijen vrees niet iedereen ✌️

- had Thanksgiving dinner, it was lekker. Happy Thanksgiving iedereen ik ben dankbaar voor jullie :)

- went and filmed a music video!! It was fun, I love music and Christmas and my medezendelingen. Was a little bit aan het sterven but hey we made it through.

- had our one (1) branch activity of the year!! Had a record turn out of 36 people and it was fantastic. And I was able to stay through the whole thing #blessings

- couldn't sleep one night cuz I'd slept all day, so I wrote in my journal until 12:30. Or so. Then I was finally able to fall asleep.

- went to another Christmas concert rehearsal, didn't quite make it through that one but I made it through most of it so we'll round up

- God really put some amazing people in my life to support me and make sure I'm taking care of myself, daarvoor ben ik dankbaar 🙏

- vandaag ben ik jarig #hieperdepiep #hoerah

Z Weave still hasn't been feeling great this week, but it's helping her learn to listen to her body and set boundaries. It hasn't been easy. She would love nothing more to just keep working for all the time she has left. But she's learning more patience, and one day she will make it through the day again without needing to take a nap. The Lord has a plan for her, and that plan involves slowing down a little bit the last couple weeks :)

Z Weave also loves reading in the scriptures. One of her favorite verses this week was from Helaman 5:47. 

--> Peace, peace be unto you, because of your faith in my Well Beloved, who was from the foundation of the world. <--

Z Weave found a lot of peace in this verse this week. Things weren't going the way she wanted them to, but she learned that because she has faith in the Well Beloved, she can always find peace again.

Z Weave hopes you can find this peace in your week too :)

Vergeet niet, you're doing amazing!!! God loves you and I do too. You're doing a freaking great job ❤️

And they all lived happily ever after :)

Love,

Z Weave 🇳🇱 ❤️

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
