Det Skjer Mirakler

Heisan! This week has been one for the books! It feels like søster twede and I have been running around with our heads cut off because we've been struggling busy  lol but miracles are happening! Here are some pictures because i dont feel like writing an email 

☆ Jolly ann got baptized!! I love her with my whole heart! She has become such a good friend and I am so happy she decided to make a covenant with God and be baptized! 
☆ pretty nidros! Cant get enough of the pretty cathedral! 
☆ cool library at NTNU
☆ last road trip with the bjerkøes! 

I love this mission so much, and I thank god everyday for this opportunity and for the lifelong relationships i have built

This week I was reading in my favorite chapter of the Book of Mormon,  2 nephi 9. Im verse 18 it talks about how Christ "endure the crosser of the world" and I wondered what that means for me and my life. I found this quote by Elder Neal A. Maxwell suggesting the meaning for the word crosses: “What are the ‘crosses of the world’? We cannot be sure, but the imagery suggests the bearing of a cross placed upon us by the world, as Jesus did; there may be persecutors and unhelpful onlookers, and the Church member is set apart (if not set upon), yet he does not flinch when accused and scoffed at by those who would make him ashamed, for he has no real reason to be ashamed”
 I loved this! We can not be ashamed for what we believe in, and we all must bear our personal crosss with the help of our Savior. 

I love you all and hope you have a great week!

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!
