Embracing Rejection: Søster Schneck Week 16

Image
Hello!!  This week was SO good!! And I just feel so blessed that I get to serve in such an amazing place with such amazing people EVERYDAY!!  weekly highlights ☆ we had Zone Conference this past week in Stavanger!! On Tuesday we had a Zone Pday where we went on such a pretty hike caled Dalsnuten! The fall colors are AMAZING!! there are about 20 missionaries in our Zone so it has been fun getting to know eveyone!  ☆ after the hike we went to a soccer field and played "Gator Ball" it's a mix of soccer and football and let me tell you when you get 20 missionaries together it gets pretty competitive. I completely got BODY SLAMMED by our Zone Leader, but our team still took the dub ☆ we had Zone Conference the next day and it was SO GOOD!! It was all focused on the Savior and how we can better focus on Him in our work here in Norway!  ☆ President Montague presented on "Embracing Rejection" and how as missionaries we can't fear rejection, because if we do, nothing...

Heisann! I've officialy hit 2 weeks in Norway! Sometimes I just have to take a step back and fully process that I'm actually here!! There have been so many blessing and tender mercies this week that just testify to me that the Lords hand is In this work! Some weekly highlights  ☆  Søster Kristiensen got news from President that someone she taught in Bergen was getting baptized! She was so excited and asked President if we would be able to attend. The likelyhood of the answer being yes was slim to none because its about an 8 hour drive from Ksand to Bergen, BUT HE SAID YES! I Feel so blessed to have such an amazing mission president thst allows us to experince such cool things! So in the past week I have been to Oslo, Lillistrøm, Arendal, Kristiansand, Stavanger and Bergen!   ☆ at the baptism, I was asked to give the closing prayer. when they said my name these 2 ladys got so excited. They turn to me and go "siri schneck?!" They proceed to tell me that my dad, elder s...

Hei hei!  My pday is today becasue we had some responsibilities in oslo the past few days, but we finally made it back to Kristandsand!  I've been in Norway for a little over a week and man, do I LOVE it!! The work here is hard, but so rewarding! I have felt and seen the Saviors hand in every aspect of this work, and its such a testament that this truly is HIS work! Our missions focus is always on Jesus Christ. In everything we do or say we strive to be more like Him and exemplify His love and light! This transfer we are focusing on the question "who is my Jesus?" That really made me think who Jesus Christ truly is to me.  This past week I have really dived deep into Christs life and ministry in my studies and I can really say I know my Savior so much more, but still have SO much to learn. MY Jesus is my best friend, my rock, my strength, my shield, my good shepard, my guide, me light, my older brother, my comfort, my peace, my song, my nail in the sure place, MY EVERYTHI...
