Til Vi Sees Igjen Søster Schneck Wk 78

Well, here we are.
 18 months, 3 areas, 1 reassignment, 9 companions, countless friends and cherished memories later, this beautiful chapter of my life is coming to a close. 
Its hard for me to express all the thoughts and feelings I have about my mission experience. Its completely changed me. 
Its allowed me to know my Savior Jesus Christ. Its introduced me to some of my best friends, who i will cherish for the rest of my life. Its opened my heart to a people, language and culture that I have come to love and appreciate so much. I cant thank god enough for the time I have had to be His missionary. 
This week had been filled with tears, laughter and reminissing and as i have reflected on what I have learned over the past 18 months, one of the biggest truths thst I have learned, is that God is a personal God. He knows us all on an individual and personal level and shows us His love in a way that only we can understand. This week was a huge testament of that. On countless occasions, God demonstrated His love in small ways that meant everything to me. From seeing the northern lights, having a disco with geir, getting a hug from a friend on a hard day, or reading a scripture that stood out to me, God knew thats exactly what I needed. God truly is in the details of our lives. 
I have loved and cherished every second of being a Missionary for my Savior Jesus Christ and I'm so grateful for the moments of my mission that have forever changed me. 
I am so grateful for a loving Heavenly Father who loved us enough to send us His Son, Jesus Christ. He is the Master of change and has changed me for the better. 

Thank you all for being a part of my journey!

My homecoming will be on Sunday, January 19th at 9am! ♡

I love you all, I love norway and I love Jesus

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!!
