Schneck, Siri

HEY!! so sorry its been so long since i wrote an email! Mission life is crazy!! But these last 2 weeks have been some of the best of the mission!  We also got transfer news and drum roll..... YOUR GIRL IS MOVING! never thought this day would come HAHAH, but its been a roller coaster of emotions! I will be moving up north to the beautiful city of Trondheim to be a Sister Training Leader! I am so stoked but also so humbled to have this new responsibility. These past few days have been ROUGH saying bye to the people who have become my family for the past 7.5 months, Kristiansand will always hold a special place in my heart but into the weekly highlights ☆ we went on a super cool hike on an aqueduct HAHA super cool tho! ☆ our guitar broke, but then elder schramm bought a whole new guitar and now we rock out together! We are planning on going and playing "i am a child of god" in sentrum  ☆ helped our relief society president with her garden!!  ☆ helped a lady jump her car...

WHATS UP?!  These past few weeks have been CRAZY and so so good! I feel so blessed everyday that I have the opportunity to be Gods servant. I think my favorite thing ever is to see how the gospel changes lives and adds a beautiful light to peoples eyes. In Norway, it is definitely a long process to get people converted to the gospel and sometimes its discouraging because there isnt immediate progress. However, its been so cool to take a step back and see where so many of our friends started and to see where they are today. Although many are not ready to be baptized, their relationship to the Lord has grown immensely and I know that God is so proud of them. I just feel so blessed I get to help them along the way ♡  Here are some highlights from the past 2 weeks! ☆ i hit HALF WAY on my mission, cant even comprehend it. Time is FLYING  ☆ we went to the vampires house to watch general conference and I got in the "Bite Book" she also has a coffin in her living room lol ☆ had s...

Yo yo yo!  I hope everyone had a great week celebrating Easter! Every year my appreciation and testimony of Easter is deepened and my love for the Savior multiplied. I think Easter is my new favorite holliday In Norway, Easter is celebrated from Thursday- Monday, meaning EVERYTHING is closed and it is culturally inappropriate to set up lessons or knock doors. SO.. the work this week was a little slower, but we were still able to spread the light of Christ and see miracles! Weekly Highlights: ☆ us and the elders played "ping pong" with a wonderful stomach bug this week, one day we were dying and the next they were. NO FUN! This was the first time Ive been sick enough on my mission to stay inside all day and Im not a fan. #prayfortheKsandKrew ☆ the easter video we have been making for the mission facebook page finally is done! WOOHOO ☆ we went to a members house for FHE and after the spritual thought, we played "the quiet place" which entails blindfolding the 5 year o...

Hei alle sammen!!  This past week was SO good and full of miracles, laughs and memories! I just feel so blessed to be here and I never want to leave Ksand!  When Presdient first told me I would be doing my 5th transfer in Kristiansand, I was honestly a little bummed... 7.5 months is a long time haha. Its definitely hard to see other missionaries move on every transfer and it feels like I'm just stuck lol but this past week has been such a good reminder to me that this mission isnt about me and what I want, and it never will be. My mission is to align my wills with Gods and help His children come closer to Jesus Christ. TRUST GOD!! After changing my perspective, I've been able to regain my love and excitement for the cute city of Kristiansand and its people! Feel forever blessed that I get to serve here  weekly highlights ☆ we had an awesome lesson with our friend Anna-Carin about baptism. We invited her to be baptized and she was a little unsure so we told her we understo...

Hey! WOW! sorry its actually been forever since I've written an email, I've been slacking, BUT I'll do better  These past few weeks have been CRAZY but so so good! As always, LOVE being a missionary! I hit 8 months which is actually INSANE, time is going way to fast and Im not a fan. but what has been cool is to see the hand of the Lord in the work over the past few weeks. GOD IS GOOD!  We got transfer news and drum roll please.... YOUR GIRL IS STAYING IN KRISTANSAND HAHA Its crazy to think I'm almost halfway done with my mission and Im still in my first area, but its teaching me to trust God and really put my mission in His hands.  here are a few highlights!  ☆ we watched the Book of Mormon videos with one of our friends and she fell in love with Nephi HAHAH ☆had a traditional norwegian christmas meal on sunday of pinnekjøtt (look it up) ☆ last p day we played soccer a district! So fun!  ☆ had a little scare with the Word of Wisdom HAHAHA cant wait to tell that...
