A Conference Week!

The pictures are of all the companions I've had that are still in the mission at the mission conference we had this week.
 
Picture 1- Elder Keck and me!
 
Picture 2- Elder Evans and me and Andrews and Crystal.
 
Picture 3- Elder Tomlinson and I! 
[Note from Mom: I can't decide if Eric is trying to be funny about Elder Tomlinson being the angel statue, or if he sent a different picture than he intended! But it's a cool shot either way :-)]
Hello! Well this week was really good! On Tuesday we had a mission conference which was really good, and I got to see a lot of good friends. It was a very good conference and I learned lots from it. Then of course Saturday and Sunday was General Conference which was also really good. I liked to see President Monson be really funny in his talks, and he still got the point across really powerfully. A theme I got from all the talks was Courage. Courage is just a good attribute to have and I want to work on it! So that's something I'll be thinking about.
 
Other things that happened this week was that we were dropped by a really cool lady named Maria. She had asked her husband and her family about the church after searching it up on the internet, and by doing so got a lot of misinformation. And then her husband basically forbid her to consider it anymore, and that was kind of sad. We asked her to have him call us so we could address his concerns, so hopefully that will happen. We also found a lot of cool people this week, who we should be going by with some members later this week.
 
I'm doing really well, I have set a goal to get someone to church this week who hasn't been before, so I'll see how that goes and report on that next week. :) Bye!
