Schneck, Siri

Hei alle sammen!!  This past week was SO good and full of miracles, laughs and memories! I just feel so blessed to be here and I never want to leave Ksand!  When Presdient first told me I would be doing my 5th transfer in Kristiansand, I was honestly a little bummed... 7.5 months is a long time haha. Its definitely hard to see other missionaries move on every transfer and it feels like I'm just stuck lol but this past week has been such a good reminder to me that this mission isnt about me and what I want, and it never will be. My mission is to align my wills with Gods and help His children come closer to Jesus Christ. TRUST GOD!! After changing my perspective, I've been able to regain my love and excitement for the cute city of Kristiansand and its people! Feel forever blessed that I get to serve here  weekly highlights ☆ we had an awesome lesson with our friend Anna-Carin about baptism. We invited her to be baptized and she was a little unsure so we told her we understo...

Hey! WOW! sorry its actually been forever since I've written an email, I've been slacking, BUT I'll do better  These past few weeks have been CRAZY but so so good! As always, LOVE being a missionary! I hit 8 months which is actually INSANE, time is going way to fast and Im not a fan. but what has been cool is to see the hand of the Lord in the work over the past few weeks. GOD IS GOOD!  We got transfer news and drum roll please.... YOUR GIRL IS STAYING IN KRISTANSAND HAHA Its crazy to think I'm almost halfway done with my mission and Im still in my first area, but its teaching me to trust God and really put my mission in His hands.  here are a few highlights!  ☆ we watched the Book of Mormon videos with one of our friends and she fell in love with Nephi HAHAH ☆had a traditional norwegian christmas meal on sunday of pinnekjøtt (look it up) ☆ last p day we played soccer a district! So fun!  ☆ had a little scare with the Word of Wisdom HAHAHA cant wait to tell that...

I hit my 23rd week in Kristiansand, but whose counting.... BUT.. don't have that much time today, so here are a few exciting updates!  ☆ we put our friend Ine on baptismal date!!  ☆ had an AWESOME lesson with this lady from Sweden and she only speaks Swedish, so I'm practically tri lingual (jk it was so hard and gift of tongues kicked into high gear) ☆ got recruited to choreograph a "dancing queen" dance for the YM and YW for their stake dance  ☆ convinced an old norwegian lady that I play basketball at BYU(long story haha) ☆ so many miracles have happened here and I wish I had time to explain them all! Just wait til next week Just know I love you all and so does God!!  If you have time please read Mosiah 13:1-9!! It is a great reminder of Christs Atoning Sacrifice for us!  søster Schneck
