Letter 05 Dec 2005

Excerpts from Sister Welker's letter:
I'm having such a good time and a good experience. First off I wanted to let you know what my schedule is. Monday we have our PD. We go to the temple at 8:00 and have laundry @ 11:00 and then we have personal time till 6:15 and then we go back to class. All the other days we have about 10 hours of class everyday and gym 5 days a week. The only day we are allowed to write letters is on Monday. I have so much to tell you. My companion , Sister Kim is so awesome we get along so well. She is from Buffalo, New York. She is tons of fun to be around. My roommates, Sister Eyre and Sister Wikle are so very cool. Sister Eyre is from Taylorsville and Sister Wikle is from Portland, Oregon. We laugh so much. . . . On Saturday I was very proud of myself I taught the first lesson (15-20 minutes) all by myself. It was so fun I loved it. It was so exhilarating. The spirit was so strong I loved it. The words flowed right out of my mouth. There was a teacher who was sitting in listening to me teach. At the end he said he was really impressed. He said I did an excellent job. He kept asking questions and I was able to answer each one without hesitation it was awesome. If you are wondering, I have not gained weight yet. I don't think I will either because the food is not that great. So I eat a lot of salad.
