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!

Hey!

Picture 1- Missionary work is tiring, yo!

Picture 2- Haha, a funny picture. It was completely unexpected. [They must have been trying to catch themselves in mid jump with the timer! And it actually worked! That's my guess :-)]

Picture 3- The Brixton O2 Arena or whatever it's called. A band was playing inside, and we walked past and tried to take a picture of all the people outside, but it was too dark.

This week was a pretty good week. We got to watch General Conference, so that was cool. It was a bit weird though, I'll explain. We watched the Saturday Morning session live at 5 PM on Saturday. Then on Sunday we watched the Priesthood session at 10 AM, then the Saturday afternoon session at 1, then the Sunday Morning session live at 5 PM. We didn't really get to watch the Sunday Afternoon session, it would have been from 9-11 PM. But it was a really good conference experience. The saturday morning session and priesthood sessions were my favorites. There were some really good talks about missionary work, and patience, and pridefulness. I just wish I could remember exactly what they said, but I don't because it was too dark to take notes. So I'll just have to exercise my patience and wait for the Ensign. :)

Other than conference, this week was alright. We didn't meet with people as often this week, because everyone seems to be busy or going through something big in their lives. I guess that's how it goes sometimes. So this week we're going to try and find new people since the ones we have been meeting with are too busy or lazy to meet with us. :) So hopefully we will find some good people who actually want us to teach them and help them. I'm feeling better about this week than I have been. I think it will be a good week. Sorry, I don't really remember a lot that happened this last week so this email will end at about here. Thanks for the support and emails and stuff! I love you guys, and will talk to you next week, bye!
