Estonia.
Dear friends,
I had to wait till my feet hit home to write about this next story. It effected me deeply and emotionally.
One of the tour events was a reenactment of the day 30,000 Estonians were deported to Russia. Siberia. At least 500 were JW's. On the bus ride there we were laughing and talking but when the bus opened for the tour the brother said what you will see now is sobering. Please follow quietly.
We had heard no spoilers but that it would make us cry. I expected something different than what we felt.
Imagine this, a older beautiful train station. Small neat and still feeling from that era. Cracked stones and old wood flooring.
The guide takes us thru explains that we can take pics but not to talk or go beyond the platform. By chance the three off us were in separate places watching. Up the track a bit was a train car and other older trains. A group of people dressed from 1951 dark cold ruff clothing. Old bags. A make shift tea kettle. A woman wrapped in a babushka scarf with a babe in her arms. Old ones sitting on old suitcases. Quietly standing waiting heads bowed and sad looking. 30 people maybe. There was a train whistle blowing here and there a slight breeze. I tell these details because every sense was on alert. I was thinking at first oh this is dear ones just play acting. Actors. Not any more. As I got in front of the scene a military officer in full garb and hateful hard face walked past on the platform. I no longer thought fake but real. I started to then really imagine it as if I had been there.
There was soft talking from the 1951 Estonian brothers and one brother pacing quietly got to close to the military captain and he Yelled and shouted an order and slammed the brother back. Fierce. Hard. Hurtful. All gasped. The older brother a few min later got up and not really near enough but a target of this military bully was screamed at again and then ... A shot! In the air but u didn't know at first. The sound had my nerves on every level jumping. So loud so frightening. The tears for MY BROTHERS over came me. Beyond what is normal. I had always had a sympathy and love for our brothers here in this side of the world but it was too much. The hurt the unjust treatment then The Calm reserved dignified response of the brothers and sisters. I was sobbing quietly. I backed my butt away from the front of the group and leaned against the railing and just sobed.
How on earth does a person react to something reenacted as if it were real?? Am I weak minded? Just a cryer? There other handful that were near the rail were my husband and a couple of other brothers. I was not alone in my grief for our brothers. I am afraid to tell u this but I felt such anger I wanted to knock the soldiers on their duff. I think one soldier saw it in my eyes earlier. It would have been hard to look him in the face later out of the Scene.
We now are guided to the other side where this is a cattle car open we are instructed to get in. There r no windows. It is old. It is used for live stock. There would have been animal dung and smell in their times. Cassandra was a distance off kevin was near me but the strangest thing this tall gorgeous sister cassies age who was our tour guide another time named ImBI had put her arm around me. I had gone to the corner to not be noticed for my uncontrollable stream of tears. She was there she was a foot taller than me but she blended right in my side. We stood quietly as all the bus group entered the cattle car. Kevin in front of me IMBI next to me. She and I didn't talk just held quietly. She was such a part of me. You know when u hug someone and there's a time limit? Either yours or theirs? Not us. As we watched and experienced this together I thought they too must have bonded deep in their bones with their brothers and sisters. I will never forget the comfort of her arms and the safety of my husbands back. ( I was hiding a bit behind him). The sisters in charge of the train car said they are closing the doors for a moment. 40 of us in there. Barely room to move.. It was dark even tho day time. Only filtered light thru the cracks. And then...
Someone started to sing quietly. A kingdom song that we all knew and in different languages of the group we sang. And instead of putting me into the mental ward I stopped crying. And a calmness and peace settled on my heart. You can find peace in adversity. And how it is increased when you share in this with your brothers and sisters.
This was my earth shaking moment of our trip to estonia for the 2015 special convention. May JAH be Blessed.
I wish everyone of you could have been there . I love you.
Kathleen.

Promised story
Hello! I hope you like this story too.
So during the tour of the Bethel in Finland we came upon a door normally closed but was open that day. The brother doing the tour was a very relaxed and funny guy. We asked what is in there and he said oh the video dept for sign language in finish. Cassie and I peeked in and said awesome or something and we saw a hand raise from over the partition waveing. I said hello! And from around the partition comes a brother w a big smile and big hand raised in greeting. We expected to just wave and cont the tour and the brother invited us in and the tour brother said sure! We'll get this, one brother was hearing and two were deaf. The hearing brother was getting instruction and advice on what signs to use so they were in practice. They were so welcoming! Most in the group knew nothing of sign language. Not even the I love you sign so it was a new experience for them. We have been struggling w Finnish and Estonian and Russian and you know what!?!? We understood each other immediately. The signs are different but enough the same we had so much fun. Cassie took off like a rocket signing with them and I followed behind. Oh man. It was a beautiful set up of a stage and equipment. I seriously never know where the blessings are gonna come from. They almost never are from where I expect and are better than I ask for.
There are pictures at the bottom of the event!

Sunday's memoirs.
It's really hard to be short and to the point. But I will try.
So there was this lonely looking little old brother hunched over in his seat in the elderly section. Only one there. 100 seats empty because of the rain that was coming down before and during the morning program. Our elderly had to climb stairs and try to get under an awning. But this little man was not going to be beaten by the rain.
See pictures. His pants are getting wet and the other picture is from a distance. Look carefully many walk by and cannot believe his endurance. Not many stop to talk to him. For some reason I did. He was so precious. And sincerely deep in personality. So happy even in these circumstances. Well he doesn't speak english and I don't speak his language ( possibly Estonian and Dutch). He said " ok. I'm a good boy. You are a good girl. I love you. " talk about flooring a person with pure joy. What a man. I asked his name. He showed me his badge. Just learned a lesson. Don't walk past our infirm brothers. Look what I would have missed. You can read about him in the yearbook. Just type in his name in watchtower library.
I had prayed to Jehovah please let me meet ONE faithful servant from old times. Russian or anywhere. I got what I asked for. Thank u so much for reading this. I really just had to tell somebody!
Love you lots
Kathleen.

Saturday evening.
Hello dear friends.
I'm finally in bed at 11 pm. This is the first night it is actually dark outside. It was always like dawn.
I'm almost dizzy and kind of rummy from all the experiences I have been through. Living someone else's life in another country is sobering and grounding. Perhaps because our focus is the brotherhood and the teachings from the bible it is so much richer. I know we are not supposed to compare ourselves to others but I am anyway.
We have associated with brothers who's experiences are in the year book, face to face, the rto bethel brothers and sisters, and was entertained at events by assembly speakers and coordinators the hospitality crew are ready to give u a hug and undivided attention... And why do I mention this? Not once did we know they were of any important job for Jehovah. The brother yelling at us at the end of a 2 mile hike saying"you did it!!!" Like it was Mount Everest was so adorable and friendly and then later we see him giving parts and having big jobs. He still stopped to talk to us making us be just the same.
Today was an especially tender and lovely day. Our friends we made at the Indianapolis convention organized a special dinner at a restaurant. There was a total of eight of us. Kevin me Cassandra two married couples and .... RAUNNI HAANPAA !! She has been in Finland all her life and has a wonderful reputation of being a fine witness. They are all friends and now we have made contact with our new Haanpaa family member. She is little bity all of 4 ft tall and 80 lbs. but she can hug like a bear and laugh like Jerry Haanpaa. It doesn't take much to make her tear up with emotion she had the rest of us a mess because she was so happy to meet us. She sends her love to all of u HAANPAAs reading this.
I'll put some pictures on for you to see. We feel this sadness of knowing we only have one more day of the assembly. And happy for the adventures ahead. We now have the goal to use this blessing to motivate us to really make the changes needed individually. Not just say it. But do it.
I have 2 girl friends who haven't been to the convention yet so no spoilers. Love you all

End of this day.
It's happening. The friendships and endearments are becoming deep real things. I suppose it is like in war times. People know they have a little time and want to make it last longer. So saying goodbye is hard. I know it's only Thursday but tomorrow starts a new chapter of time and events. We will be so happy to start the special assembly! As it happens we have all three become very attached to one of our tour guides. she has been popping up here and there on our travels. I will post a pick of her as it doesn't reflect the activity. She opened her heart and willingly invited us all in. The whole group. We got dropped off at the hotel today and when we got off the bus the tour guides went outside to say good bye to us. Even tho we will likely see each other at the assembly. It was my turn for a hug. She wouldn't let go. I couldn't let go. There are times in my life when I know. I know within seconds that this one is gonna be my friend for life. Please meet your sister from Estonia living in Finland working as a commuter bethelite regular pioneer and favorite tour guide of at least 160 people...

Day 3
Yes I know I missed a day. I had a big long blog with tons of stuff then I hit the button wrong and it all got erased. And do I remember any of it???!! Any hoo I'm starting new from today. Remember I can't tell you about the glorious events that make your heart weep. I can tell u the side stuff.
We went to downtown old Tallin. I really didn't think I would be impressed. Again I was fooled. So much fun and beautiful buildings from long ago still in use today. I didn't take any pics of the stupid churches which are all over but I did have a mental picture of one angel per church at armegedon.
We kept meeting local JW and delegates. We all stopped and shared info and gifts and broken language skills. Hugging was the communication of the day. They had a medeviel restaurant w players out side on bag pipes flutes drums hurty hurty. Yep real name for a windup guitar violin thingy. Really cool music. We even put in money to the tip pot. Later we found out it was a sister playing! Her job. She ended up giving us a tour of the town.
We did get on the right bus going the wrong way. Ended up at the end of the line in no where land. With a Russian driver telling us to get out! We did and must have looked pitiful. He got back in the bus turned around and took us back to close to where we needed to be. We were the only ones on. And he didn't stop. We think he did a special trip just for us.
The pictures are of the carts and how they have a office w a order window for literature ! Then the two family's who we met at the international in Indianapolis. They are going to dinner with us on Saturday. I was so happy to see them.
I also climbed a real tower that nearly killed me. Small tight huge steps of stone and 35 meters plus. Cause it went in spirals. Gabriel would be proud of me. I swear I'm gonna loose wight on this trip. Ok I'm so tired and happy. Really happy. Thank u for reading this. Love u lots

Day 2
It's day 2 but feels like day 14. We have packed a lot in since arrival. I think Im most full from talking to every delegate that is in range. Then stoping all the tour guides and locals and surprisingly we communicated pretty well. Most people at least speak some english. I feel bad this is their country and I only can say two words.
We are walking and in the lovey weather a soft breeze makes the temp perfect. The city so far is easy to navigate. We have a map from the help desk. We find the streets , just don't even try to pronounce them. I wish we had Gerald Haanpaa here. He would be talking in finish in two seconds flat. Then he would be cornered by all the delegates getting pictures of him. We still have Finland to get to and I feel bad that our Jerry isn't here. But I know you will make up for lost time in the new system. Never seen u not make a friend or be lost for conversation. Just know we are thinking of all of you. Not all at once but when little things happen. You honk to yourself oh so and so would love this.
We had a lovely event that made me cry. I was seriously at risk of a crying fit bit got it in control. The brothers asked us not to mention the activity or post picks for a while so that we don't spoil it for others. Will write more when we can.
Love u lots
Kathleen..or Katia. :-)

Estonia!!!
We are finally here! It's unbelievable! Yes I keep using exclamation points!!! Ok so we get off the plane and brothers and sisters there to hug and welcome us. Maybe 6 of them. We had other delegates from the states on our flight too. All single sisters from Texas New Mexico Nebraska. Hey there was a girl there that is part of the Karin group. She had visited our Burmese group in Indiana. Her name is breanna.
Small world.
We got flowers and cards. And they all speak english which was a blessing. Got on the taxi and to hotel no problem. Help desk ready to help! It was just like when we had ours. So nice to be on the other side of the table.
Walked in Tallin to see some of the sights and ate at a restaurant in the mall. We kept getting stopes by JW from all around earth to visit! I loved it. Cassie was a social butterfly. Her food got cold and she didn't care cause she was talking in Russian Finnish and Estonian. Haven't used any spanish yet. :-)
Ok I'll put picks up. Love u all.

Turkey!
We made it! It was a piece of cake till about 4 hours into the flight and trying to be a Gumby Pretzel and sleep. We got to sit next to each other so we abused family space big time. Hey did u know on international flights they still treat u like royalty!? First 5 min...Big chocolate truffle offered. Then few min later clean new pillow. Then blanket new in package. And tooth brush lip balm eye masks socks and slippers! Crazy comfortable! Great dinner tasty chicken and veg and all the sides of salad special cheese and all u could drink. Even alcohol! We passed on that. 10 hrs is a long time but there were personal TV for eAch and w new ear pieces. Tons of movies to pick from in english! No charge! So I now am recommending Turkish Air. Oh and a lovely breakfast too!
I will say we were less than competent on no sleep trying to get to the hotel desk at the airport. Didn't realize u had to leave to get to it. On the outside. Then they kept telling us in broken english go to Starbucks! Ughhhh there were two and in opposite directions by 20 miles of walking. !!! Oh well. Now we have had a delicious turkey dinner nothing like USA kind. I will post some picks. Thanks for reading this. Can u just note u name or something so I know if anyone is reading ? Thank u guys.

Day before departure
- Posted using BlogPress from my iPhone
So it's raining again! And fantastic thunder and lightning, what a send off. Gabriel our friend who once had to fly to Iran and other parts said for us to try to stay awake tonight to sleep on the 10 hr flight. Don't think it will be a problem.
The picture of my wallet and passport is courtesy of my Pa. He never goes anywhere with out his rubber band. Many uses. :-) thanks Dad.
I'm nervous but excited for tomorrow... Did I get everything? Did I clean everything? Ughhh we will see.
Over and out
( which by the way is only a CB term. Not official )

6 days till...
Hello dear friends and family! My stomach is in constant turmoil in anticipation for our departure. My goal of only carry on luggage has gone out the window. We will have one checked bag for all 3 of us cause we have so many gifts and everyone who went to the Korea convention has warned us we will be bringing lots of gifts back. We have nearly every hour planed. Still a few small gaps but that will let us be free to see the area and also to visit closely with new ones we meet.
Thank u for reading our posts. We will try to keep it to the point and have pictures ready. Please feel free to give this to the friends or family who may want to see. Love u all
Kathleen.
