CHurch & Highlights

So today was my first time going to the Amsterdam Ward by myself

and i gotta say I LOVED IT. People came up and introduced themselves and welcomed me it was really nice! and the lady who showed me around turned out to be my Past Young Womens President (when i was in Capelle) sister! she is so nice! and there are actually quite a few Americans in the ward as well, an older couple ok their not old their like in their late 40's i think and then there is this young couple who just moved here from BYU and they've only been married 2 months! they moved here about a month ago, but they're american, and then there is this other lady she is here for work she works something with a telefoon company so there are like 5 other americans which is nice. everyone was so nice and the lessons were good i enjoyed it :) well this Saturday is a Institute day in Apeldorn so im gonna be headin' there and then the day after is Tylers or Elders Koppe's farewell he's leavin on a mission to London, he seems very well prepared. (btw it was Tylers mom who was my yw's president and his aunt is the one who showed me around in church today haha, she's also the bishops wife :) oh and her other sister another aunt from tyler was also my yw camp leader :)) but yeah this next weekend is gonna be very busy. then the week after that there's a seasons dance here in Amsterdam so that'll be fun :)

anyway i'm here in this big house alone lol..

the family isn't back yet i dunno where they went so i think im just gonna go watch a movie or whatnot .

btw im pretty happy with my weight now! i hardly have love handles HAHA lol jk but its goin great its awesome feeling more in shape!

OHHHHH wait.

so i went and got highlights to make a long story short:

the lady screwed up and they are orangeish blonde. awesome. so i paid her 10 euro's less and gave no tip obviously. but i guess its ok.. its fall after all.. i can look like a pumpkin...oh well i just should avoid colors like.. yellow and orange.. and white..ok maybe i can still do white. but i dunno oh WELL it doesn't matter lol hair grows.. only mine is remarkably slow! lol elvira was laughin at me! which made the situation lighter so thats good.

OH haha and another thing today i walked to church and well its about 15/ 20 mins away walking, and so i wasn't about to walk in my heels all the way there. so i was wearing a nice purple shirt that i just bought my nice black knee height skirt and tennis shoes lol i got some pretty awesome looks but i did bring heels with me for church so.. :) and it was a good thing i actually read the lesson in advance because i got more out of it than i usually do. at least in this relief society there are younger people closer to my age. although i did have some huge Dordrecht with-drawls lol i did miss my own little branch back home. but hey we'll see.

ENFJ personality type.

Representing approximately 5 percent of all people, people with the ENFJ personality type are great leaders, distinguished by the unshakable faith that others want to follow them. Usually this is exactly what happens as the main trait of the ENFJ personality type is their extraordinary charisma. ENFJs also greatly appreciate the cooperation and assistance of other people and are eager to offer their own cooperation wherever possible.ENFJs pay a lot of attention the needs of other people and often believe they are responsible for other people’s emotions – this behaviour can even complicate their relationships if the ENFJ is not careful. This personality type radiates leadership qualities, such as concern and willingness to help, so those who need support often turn to the ENFJ – and usually receive the help and guidance they need. However, this kind nature can sometimes turn against the ENFJ once they become overloaded with requests for assistance – ENFJ personality types feel great discomfort and guilt if they are forced to refuse requests of this nature.ENFJ are especially vulnerable due to their tendency to idealise interpersonal relations. It is nearly impossible to meet such standards and ENFJ friends may feel inferior knowing that they cannot achieve that ideal. On the other hand, expecting the best can be considered one of the most important leadership traits – and even though ENFJ may be somewhat idealistic (thanks to the NF combination), they are also very tolerant, uncritical and truly reliable people. ENFJs enjoy communicating with others and consider this an essential personality trait. As a result, ENFJs often get very surprised or even offended when they learn that not everybody (e.g. strong introvert types) shares this attitude. However, this rarely happens, as ENFJs are talented and highly intuitive speakers, very adept at communicating face to face. Naturally, someone with the ENFJ personality type is likely to have a great impact on people, as they are eager to express their opinion, no matter how large the group is.This personality type has an unusual ability to recognise and “translate” other people’s feelings, “absorbing” their characteristic traits, emotions and value systems. This is a very potent gift, but it is also dangerous, as the ENFJ can sometimes unwittingly take on other people’s problems, as if they were their own. ENFJ personality traits also tend to award this type with amazing imitation skills.ENFJs should take advantage of their strong intuition as it is one of their strongest personality traits, but it is advisable to consult a friend with a dominant T trait when it comes to making logical or long-term decisions. On the other hand, ENFJ personalities can easily make decisions based on their feelings – they are usually able to recognize other people’s motives, hidden or not, with amazing accuracy.ENFJs are quick learners, able to instantly recognise the big picture in many situations. In addition, they are great entrepreneurs who can easily cope with numerous responsibilities or projects – this is likely to result in many fruitful opportunities.

ENFJ strengths:Very adept at feeling other people’s thoughts and motivesGood communication skillsAbility to motivate and inspire other peopleSparkling sense of humour, dramatism, energy and optimismGood money management skillsAbility to move on after a romantic relationship fails (but ENFJs are likely to blame themselves for this)Loyalty and dedication – ENFJ seek lifelong relationshipsDesire to seek “win-win” situations wherever possibleDesire to meet the needs of othersENFJ weaknesses:Tendency to be overwhelmingly caringTendency to control and / or manipulateToo little attention to their own needsTendency to be critical of different opinions or viewsRisk of “faux pas” in certain social situationsVery high susceptibility to conflicts, tendency to avoid resolving the underlying issuesTendency to blame themselves when something goes wrong or underestimate themselves when things are going smoothlyInflexibility in some areas due to a clear value system.
