On 10-4-12 she wrote: Greetings from Hogwarts! Ha!  I really feel like I am at camp. I LOVE it here. The hardest part was walking from the truck to a line of sisters also waiting with their luggage. It was one of those moments where you feel REALLY alone. But, that feeling was quickly gone because guess who volunteered to host/ tour guide me? I was greeted by K Goodwin who ran over to hug me. Then I met Hermana O who is so good at talking to everyone. Heavenly Father loves me so much, he gave me 2 companions! Hermana O & Hermana H! I share a room with 5 other girls and last night during companionship prayer, you should've heard us sing: Mas Cerca, Dios, de Ti. Which I thought was "More Holiness Give Me... but, now I can't remember??  Last night I kept trying to dream in Espanol! It was crazy.  I get the top bunk-Yay! but, climbing down that metal latter at 6:00 am is a bit tricky.  Spanish class is going bene!  I'm grateful for the little spanish I did study in high school!  At least I know when to add a "a" at the end of a word.  Here's what I'm working on:  "Buenos dias!  Yo soy una representatnte de las Iglesia de Juso Cristo de los Santos de los Ultimos Dias." Good Morning! I am a representative of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints!! 
My name tag is WAY cool!! When the sister put it on me, she said, "Always wear it high on your shoulders so when others look at your eyes and your face, they also see the word "Christ".  I thought that was way cool & I'm happy to put upon Christ's name, for real. 
The food here is delicious! My bed is comfy and warm.  I feel a great sense of companionship wherever I am.  Please know that I am super happy and busy.  I haven't even had time to miss any of you yet :) Yesterday during a teaching experience, we were given 3 real investigators.  The invitation was to listen to the spirit. Yes, I feel a little inadequate, but I know I've aligned myself on the Lord's side: The winning team.  I know with His help, there is nothing I cannot do.  I later found out they were actors.  But, they're really good!  One of them looked just like Mr. Miagi from the Karate Kid (original 80's version).
Please tell the Chandler's that I met their nephew!! Elder Perry is in my district. 
Go read Alma 26:11 (pg 273) but, substitute my name: Hermana Workman for "Ammon" (by  the way, everyone loves my last name here) Now, GO.. read vs. 12 and feel of it's power. it is exactly how I feel. 
I KNOW that my Redeemer lives! What JOY this sweet sentence gives!
I pray for all of you to be blessed with any needs you may have.  DO NOT feel sad I'm gone, I'm part of the Lord's Army! I'm at boot camp learning how to fend off the adversary.  I love each of you with all my heart!! (I learned how to say that en espanol, but forgot.... oops :)
