Schneck, Siri

Heyy! Hope you are all doing so well and had the BEST Thanksgiving ever!! My heart is seriously so full and I just have so much to be grateful for, especially all of you!!  This week was antother great week in the South of the North lol  weekly highlights ☆ we celebrated Thanksgiving with the Scrams, Elders and 4 of our non member friends!! They have never experinexed Thanksgiving before so they were SO excited to have their first Thanksgiving!  ☆ me and Sister Krisensen "picked" out a christmas tree for our apartment! (See pic) hopefully we dont get arrested fr fr  ☆ had to explain to a bunch of Norwegians what pumpkin pie was HAHA its a lot harder than it seems ☆ we are teaching a lady from Sweden and she mixes Norwegian and Swedish together and its SO confusing  ☆ got recruited to play piano for our ward christmas party, when everyone stands around the christmas tree and sings. I have to learn 10 songs... pray for me ☆ i help sister Kristensen with her englis...

Yoo, whats up gang?!   These past few weeks have been INSANE, but seriously so good and filled with so many tender mercies and miracles. I officially finished my first transfer in Norway! WOOHOO! Time is flying. Me and sister Kristensen are staying in Kristiansand! YAY! But, we got a call from President informing us that we would also be taking over the Arendal area. CRAZY. Only 3 sisters have come into Norway in the past 5 months, and a few just went home, so we are running low on missionaries up here. SO, now Sister Kristensen and I are incharge of TWO areas. Definitely stressful, but we are ready for the challenge! Anna and Elsa, here we come.  Also buckle up for a longer email, cause Ive got to update you from the past 2 weeks!!  highlights! ☆ Got a call from a member in the branch presidency on friday asking if I could give a talk on Sunday. STRESS. but we did it and managed to do the whole thing in Norwegian without reading from my notes, GIFT OF TONGUES IS REA...

Lol, i realized i forgot to push send, but... Hello wonderful people!!! I have almost hit 4 MONTHS as a missionary HUH?! Feels like forever but also no time at all HAHAH  This week was such a good week in Kristansand, but also so hard. Its a constant grind, but the work is progressing and not one minute can be wasted! This week your girl has LIVED the phrase "fake it till you make it" and so far its been a big success. More on that later, but here are your favorite.... weekly highlights ☆ first off, last p day was halloween, so naturally we spent the day with the Vampire in our Branch. Halloween also happens to be her birthday. Coincidence?! I think NOT. but we partied with her and her husband and it was so fun! Her husband is a professional chef and made us Chrsitmas dinner HAHAH never a dull moment. Moral of the story, go find your local vampire because they are the BEST ☆ ITS OFFICIALLY CHRISTMAS EVERYWHERE HERE. Every pole? CHRISTMAS TREE. Every light post? CHRISTMAS TREE...

Hello!!  This week was SO good!! And I just feel so blessed that I get to serve in such an amazing place with such amazing people EVERYDAY!!  weekly highlights ☆ we had Zone Conference this past week in Stavanger!! On Tuesday we had a Zone Pday where we went on such a pretty hike caled Dalsnuten! The fall colors are AMAZING!! there are about 20 missionaries in our Zone so it has been fun getting to know eveyone!  ☆ after the hike we went to a soccer field and played "Gator Ball" it's a mix of soccer and football and let me tell you when you get 20 missionaries together it gets pretty competitive. I completely got BODY SLAMMED by our Zone Leader, but our team still took the dub ☆ we had Zone Conference the next day and it was SO GOOD!! It was all focused on the Savior and how we can better focus on Him in our work here in Norway!  ☆ President Montague presented on "Embracing Rejection" and how as missionaries we can't fear rejection, because if we do, nothing...
