Schneck, Siri

GOD JUL!!  heyyy! I hope everyone is doing soo good!! ITS ALMOST CHRISTMAS!! yay!! I feel like the luckiest person in the world to be spending Christmas as a Missionary for Jesus Christ. And fr im not just saying that. I seriously dont think I've been more full of joy than I have these past 5 months. Don't get me wrong, missionary work is HARD, but all the good, happy, fun moments outweigh the hard times. I JUST LOVE BEING A MISSIOANRY, and i dont even have the words to express it. But I LOVE IT.  This week was GOOD! Like I was saying earlier, there are hard times, but while thinking back on my weeks, I have a hard time thinking of the difficult moments and can only remeber all the good that God has blessed us with here in Kristansand!  weekly highlights ☆ first off, I JUST LOVE SISTER KRISTENSEN!! she literally is becoming my bestie and im just so grateful for her. I am just so grateful for all these connections that I have made so far on the mish, cant wait to visit her...

Hey gang!! Hope you all are doing so well!! Love and miss you all!  This week I thought I would start off with and inspirational quote by yours truly "its not that deep" HAHAH if you know me, you know thats my  life motto. But fr sometimes life is hard, especially all you missionaries out there know how hard missionary work can be, but when your realize that nothing is really that deep it makes it a little easier. Weekly highlights ☆ hit 5 MONTHS on the mish  ☆ last pday we went on a CRAZY hike in the snow and ice. We all survived, but have some pretty gnarly battle wounds from our falls on the ice HAHAH ☆ finshed painting "my wall" at sissels house, fr pro painter, promising career after the mish ☆ drove to Stavanger AGAIN for zone confernce but i cant complain because its the PRETTIEST drive ever!!  ☆ got reuntied with my besites Stoltz and Barker!!

Long but pretty drive ☆ while on spilts, we taught a lesson to this lady from France, but she has lived in Norway for a while and speaks Norwegian. If you didnt know, i took 4 years of french so im practically a professional HAHAH JK but i tried with EVERYTHING in me to try and remember anything i learned in those 4 years, so I could talk to her in french but my brain had absolutly NOTHING. so traggic, but we could speak norwegian so it was fine  ☆ we foind some other missionaries for a christian chruch from Madagascar!

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...
