Søster Schneck Week 46

What's up?!
These past few weeks have been absolutely AMAZING! Here are some updates! don't have too much time !


☆ 17th of Mai! It's like the 4th of July on steroids! I LOVE NORWAY
☆ did service on 2 farms! JUST COOL! my inner farmer came out and now I want to live on a farm in Norway. 
☆ it's been 80° out and just sunny and green! We are in paradise right now!
☆ ZOCO!! Such a fun experience to have it in Trondheim! Sister Jensen and I presented on Defining success through Jesus christ!
☆ president told me I'm staying in Trondheim WOOHOO and I know who my next comp is
☆ we took a 4 hour road trip with the bjerkøes to Kristiansund (not Kristiansand lol) and had the most tender and intimate sacrament meeting. There were 4 members and then us missionaries. It was such a testament to me that this gospel and our Savior Jesus Christ are PERSONAL!! He knows us and loves us on a personal level.
☆ Norway is just PRETTY. We drove down the Atlantic highway on the way back and I felt like I was in a movie. IT WAS STUNNING.


This week I studied 1 Nephi 2-4 and I have read these chapters a million times, but for whatever reason this time was different and I realized that this gospel requires ACTION! In every situation that Nephi is given, whether that be to move to the wilderness with his family, or to go back to Jerusalem to get the brass plates. IT ALL TOOK ACTION. he didn't just wait around for an angel to appear to him and testify of the truth. He prayed and acted and put in the work, and then came the powerful witness. Nephi wasn't just randomly chosen to be a prophet, but he was chosen because of his works and action. I love James 2 when it says "Faith without works is dead and it's so true. It was a great reminder to me that we have to ACT and put in the effort if we want to gain a testimony of this gospel. 


I LOVE YOU GUYS AND SO DOES GOD! never forget:)

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!
