Fjord

hey gang! I don't have a ton of time today, but here are some highlights from the last week! 
- We had ZOCO and it was quite the adventure to plan and get everything coordinated, but let's be real, it's not that deep, so all in all it worked out great! 
- ANNA GOT BAPTIZED!! It was the most beautiful, perfect day! She wanted so badly to get baptized outside in the fjord and it's starting to get pretty cold here in Norway, so we were all praying for good weather. As we were pulling up to the beach it was POURING RAIN, like insane amounts of water and it was so cold HAHA but we pushed through and walked down to the beach. Right as we got to the water, the rain stopped and it was perfectly clear as she entered the water. Jolly Ann (who recently got baptized 3 weeks ago) and Joakim ( a ysa who got baptized in March) were the witnesses. SO COOL!! The water was FREEZING, but she survived, and as we were walking back to the car the most beautiful rainbow appeared in the sky. It was the most perfect day and now Anna is a Member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter- day saints!
- i've cut too many missionaries hair in the past week this is a warning to never let me cut your hair, no matter how confident I seem 
-we made a picture book of Joseph smith to help our cute 8 year old friend remember who he is HAHA
- Jolly Ann and Anna are planning a trip to UTAH next summer and I couldn't be more excited!! WOHOOOO
- me and sister twede made a fort  and watched ''Joseph Smith, the prophet of the restoration''  and painted book of mormons for pday today AHAH ( oh the things that entertain us missionaries) 

READ ENOS!! ITS SO GOOD!! god loves you and truly listens to every prayer you offer. 

i love you and so does god!!

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...
