Letter 26 Dec 2005
Excerpts from Sister Welker's letter:
How are you? Everything is going great here. How was Christmas? Did you guys get my package I sent you? It was a lot of fun making the tape. . . On Tuesday at out devotional, Elder Merril J. Bateman, President of the Seventy and former President of BYU came and spoke to us. It was really good. . . I am so excited to have Christine come. She is going to love it here. And Melodee comes in a week, which will be way fun. Rachel is dropping her off. . . On Wednesday we had a zone meeting. It was incredible. The spirit was so strong I could not believe how spiritual it was. We had Gene Hill come and speak to us. He is the President of all the international MTC’s. . . The focus of the conference was the atonement of Jesus Christ. We met again and had a huge testimony meeting. There was a lot of missionaries at this meeting probably around 80-90 people. I felt the spirit so strong that I had to go up and bear my testimony and I did. My testimony has grown so much since I got here. . . On Saturday I had to give the second lesson in French for about 5-10 minutes. I was really nervous because my teacher and my companion would not let me write it out they made me just make sentences in my head. I think I did pretty good though. Oh, also on Saturday, I talked to one of the French teachers from the other district who went to New Caledonia. . . She showed me her scrapbook of her mission. She told me all about it and showed me on the New Caledonia map where I will probably be serving. . . I know the Lord wanted me to go here so I just have to trust in Him and have faith. She also told me what they ate. You won’t believe this but they eat bat!!! Yup that’s right, I said bat. That is so gross. . . This weekend on Friday and Saturday we were secret Santa’s to the new missionaries. After the fireside on Saturday me and my roommates came back to our room and had a slumber party. In the morning, we opened presents. Thank you so much for all the gifts. I love the picture and we all love the CDs. . . Rachel also sent me a package. It was really nice of her. . . In the evening we had a humanitarian project where we made first aid kits. It was really fun.
