Elder Eric left on Wednesday morning at 7a.m. Which meant we left our house at 5:30. It was a blast! Only mom, dad and I went to "send him off". There were 3 other elder's leaving that morning along with Eric so he felt a little better about that. It was a sad morning, just like sending off every missionary is, but it was great. My mom and I sat on the couch watching Saved By The Bell, crying, until I had to leave for school. When I got home she told me she had just gotten off the couch. Haha!
Eric's been gone a whole 5 days and already we've sent him a package, an e-mail from my mom, I sent him a long letter and the young women in our ward have too! He's going to be spoiled when it comes to letters and such.

I'm going to miss him terribly but I know he's doing the right thing. He will be the best missionary!
