Note from Karlan's Mom

Hello everyone:

Karlan didn't send a blog post this week.  She was answering emails, and doing reports with her short time on the computer this afternoon.

Here's part of her letter to us:  "Helsinki was fantastic. I learned a ton about how to teach people, not lessons. We came back, and Rosie, our eternal investigator, is FINALLY making steps towards baptism! I don't know that clicked, but she now says coffee is gross to her, and she's doing more to try to help her boyfriend understand why they should get married. WOW. We've prayed a lot about whether or not to keep teaching her, so I'm glad we decided to keep going at least a few more weeks."

Kar loves the emails, but says she would love letters even more, since she can read them during the week.
Her address is:

Sisar Karlan Hansen

Lähetsytoimisto

Myöhempien Aikojen Pyhien Jeessuken Kristuksen Kirkko

Nietsytpolku 3 A 4

00140 Helsinki

Finland

You can send her a letter via USPS, or you can go to www.dearelder.com, and they will send a letter for you.  You will have to set up an account on Dear Elder. Sending  your letter is $1.10, the same postage USPS will charge, but you can mail a letter from Dear Elder in your pajamas.  Instructions on how to do that are on the website.  

Let's make Karlan's Christmas a merry one! She would be thrilled to receive posti (a letter) with Christmas greetings. 

Thank you everyone for your thoughts, prayers, and notes to Karlan.
