Good Ol' Marshfield; Søster Schneck Week 7

Hello!! 

This week has been absolutely insane, but I made it to Wisonsin!! Woohoo!

Saying goodbye to the mtc and my time there was a lot harder than I expected, but I will forever be grateful for the amazing experience I had! 
I flew out to Wisconsin at 4am on Thrusday. My AMAZING district woke up at 3:30am to say bye to me! shout out to the BEST DISTRICT EVER!! Love you so much!! 
Our little travel group of missionaries went from local celebrities in SLC to quite the opposite in the span of a few hours. Definitely an interesting experience to be judged by people who don't even know who you are, but we just keep pushing through! Here is my favorite quote from the week. 
"We can wish you the best of luck in life, but not on your mission, we wish you failure"   ...thanks randy

my new companion, sister doizer and I are reopening an area here in Wisconsin called Marshfield! Marshfield is so pretty!! We are kind of in the middle of no where, but are surrounded by beautiful green fields and forests! So grateful for that! There haven't been missionaries in the area for a LONG time. I'm not going to lie it is a struggle! We are starting from the ground up and trying our best to plant seeds, but it is going to take ALOT of work! 

Also Wisconsin is a "social media mission" meaning we use Facebook to find friends to bring closer to Christ and mostly teach them online. It will definitely take some getting used to! I would like to formally apologize to Brother Høgset, because I am forced to make facebook posts. Please don't judge

If I'm being honest, these past few days have been really hard. And sometimes I take a step back and ask my self what I'm doing, and why I'm REALLY here. Why am I here on a mission? Sometimes I can get so caught up in the moment and the stress of it all that I forget why I am truly here. I am here to love, serve and remind people that they have a loving Heavenly Father and Savior Jesus Christ! It's that simple! My Mission Presdient and his wife set a goal for the missionaries to memorize "The Living Christ" I was definitely nervous to take on the large task but it has seriously been the biggest blessing! This testimony of our Savior Jesus Christ reminds me why I am on a mission and why we all do hard thing! I invite you all to read "The Living Christ" it has blessed my life so much in the past few days, and I promise that it will bless yours as you remember our Savior and the love He has for each and every one of you! 

God is so good! Have the best week ever!!

Hei Hei!! I am going to try and make more of an effort to send weekly emails again, but no promises. President called me last week to inform me that I am staying in Trondheim for another transfer!! WOOHOO! It was very unexpected, but I couldn't be happier. I love this city with my whole heart! Here are some highlights from the past 2 weeks - For pday a few weeks ago we went inside Nidarosdomen and it felt like I was in Hogwarts, unreal - Got a text from one of the YSA asking if me and Sister Twede could make him food for the ward potluck HAHA he paid for it all, and we ended up making my moms famous chili. He wanted to bring a dish to contribute, but hates cooking HAHA. W Joakim  - Got to go on splits with my bestie SISTER BARKER!!  - It feels like fall here in Trondheim! The leaves are starting to change colors and its getting pretty cold  - Aksel ( a 19 yr old YSA who recently got baptized) is going to be baptizing our cute 8 year old friend in a few weeks, so he joined...

A Tribute To Trondheim; Søster Schneck Wk 65

Hello friends!!  This email is going to be dedicated to TRONDHEIM!! We got transfer news and I will be leaving good ol' trondheim to open ALTA for my last 2 transfers, which is the northernmost mission area in the world. Not exactly sure how I'm feeling right now, excited, scared, humbled, sad and grateful are just a few of the emotions. Trondheim, Norway has my heart. Being able to serve here for the past 5 months has been nothing short of a miracle in my life. I don't fully have the words to describe the impact this place has had on my mission and my life. The people I have met here and the memories I have made mean the world to me and I'm not sure if I am ready to say goodbye. Change has always been something I have had a really hard time with, yet I know it is inevitable, and necessary for growth. If you would have asked me how I felt 5 months ago as I was saying goodbye to 8 months of memories in Kristiansand, I would have expressed that I was feeling about...

Hey!! This week has been an adventure and full of so many tender mercies and my heart is so full! And... we made it to ALTA!!  Here are some highlights!  ☆ left a piece of my heart in Trondheim, and it definitely wasnt an easy goodbye, but I feel at peace with where I'm at right now and I know this is exactly where I need to be!  ☆ thursday I traveled all day and made it to Tromsø to meet my new companion, Sister Matthews!  ☆ we got stranded in tromsø for 2 days because we currently don't have a place to stay in Alta. we grinded it out there and worked our hardest to make it productive when we weren't in our area HAHA  ☆ Saturday we got a call from president telling us we are finally flying to Alta!! Yay! We took the tiniest 25 person plane and finally landed in our new home!  ☆ we have been living in a hotel for the past few days as we've waited for an apartment, but will be moving in tomorrow (best hotel breakfast EVER)  ☆ ive only been her...
