Sisar Karren Chillin' in Prove (week 2)

Hei everyone!
 Sisar Karren here! Just pluggin away on the struggle bus! MTC life is great! They've added some new changes so Sundays are actually pretty chill like I took a NAP! (Wait whaaaaat) yeah I pretty much forgot what those were! It was a goofd day except for the part where we had a crazy lady come in and threaten to read all our emails haha. Tuesday night we got to watch the new light the world video "Christ Child" that hasn't come out yet and it's super awesome.  Everyone make sure to check it out when it drops! Anywho my district is so awesome.  I love them so much! We have two elders from Denmark and Sweden so we have this constant war on the right way to do things:  the American way or the European way and it's pretty hilarious! We fight about food, the metric system, scarves, football, table manners, and pretty much everything else. I've also discovered a love for basketball! Particularly for playing speed.  I got into a roast battle with an elder from my district who is super crazy good at basketball and then that day we played speed and I totally got him out with my first shot. Yeah I'm never going to let him forget it. Also one of the nights we assigned everyone in our district Marvel characters and then told the Elders to do it too so then we could compare our lists. It was soooo funny! We learned a lot about how we see each other, haha! This week we are doing spirit animals! We are always finding fun ways to pass time! On a more serious note one of my companions almost went home. It was very heartbreaking but my whole district came together to show her love and support. After the Elders gave her a blessing she finally calmed down and felt at peace and decided to stay. It was really hard on everyone but it really got me thinking about how lucky I am to be here and how blessed I am to have this opportunity! I truly love it here and I'm so excited to get out into the field and start serving. It broke my heart to think of all the things she would of missed if she went home so I'm so beyond happy that she is staying!
 God is real and he loves his missionaries! I love you all so much! Have an amazing week!
 Sisar Karren dabin out! Nähdään!

Well I made it to Finland safe and sound! Wow!  I can't even believe it! We are at the mission home now and will be tomorrow too because of the holiday. The flight was long but I got the chance to kinda serve.  I am so grateful for my loving district.  My mission president is the kindest man on the planet earth. He told me he felt prompted to ask me if he could pray for someone in my life. It was super cool.  I already love him so much. His wife is also amazing. I know I will love it here once I make it my home but I know it will also be very hard.  I love you both so much. Know I am safe and taken care of so don't worry and I'll talk to you next week. Editor's note:  Sister Karren's p-day is Tuesday so Monday is a good time for writing emails.  The address for letters and packages is: Myöhempien Aikojen Pyhien Jeesuksen Kristuksen Kirkko SISTER KATHERINE KARREN Upseerinkatu 3 C 02600 ESPOO Finland

Is this week 3? I can't even remember! Hello everyone! Sisar Karren here! Yep still here. In Provo. Where I will remain for what seems like forever!   This week was awesome! We had a musical devotional! I replaced my stolen laundry, and I got to conduct a little orientation and a tour for the newbies that came in on Wednesday. It was so much fun! I love meeting all the new missionaries and getting them pumped for how fun the MTC is!  Couple funny stories this week: one day when everyone was about to explode from studying Finnish too long (that's what happens when one studies Finnish for more than an hour) we started making more lists of who we would all be in movies, TV shows, and animals. I was always the villain or a crazy person so that says a lot, haha!  And they also put my spirit animal as a hairless cat. Rude!  Then another night we all swapped name tags and acted like the person whose tag we were wearing. Elder Stitcher who had mine glared at everyon...

I can't remember how long I've been here....

(editor's note: it's been 5 weeks) Wow! What a week! There were so many ups and downs I don;t even know where to begin! On fast Sunday we had mission conference and it was hilarious.  The second guy that stood up being completely serious he literally was like "I don't want to be here but since I was called I have to be." Haha, so that set the tone for the conference! A couple of the Elders fell asleep on each other it was adorable haha! Sunday night was bittersweet because I had to say goodbye to both my Oakcrest friends who were here and my heart hurt so bad. I am going to miss them so much! But they are going to be FANTASTIC missionaries! Monday was awesome!! We got to host the senior missionaries that came in and it was so fun! We escorted them to their rooms and helped them with their bags and they were so cool! It was just such a fun time to hang with them and my district. Next up Tuesday. I'm going to be honest Tuesday was awful. I got a message from...
