I can't get the images to show. No matter how much I seem to mess with them they won't show. I try reloading them and nothing works, I try to open them in a new tab and I get an error message, and I even tried copying the image and pasting it in Word, it just showed up as a blank image. Sorry.
I'm really sorry to hear about the girls, in fact it kind of made me quite upset at them. Tell them I'm upset.
My new companion is Elder Hurd, from Missouri. He talks very fast, has a very thick accent, and I only understand about half of what he says. He's a district leader so he's my new district leader, he's very nice and is a huge Pokemon and Dragon Ball Z nerd like me so we get along. Elder Farrel and Elder Stringham are my other new roommates. Elder Farrel is from Idaho and is very nice too. Elder Stringham (don't know where he's from) also talks very fast, and doesn't know how to enunciate and slurs all his words together. So it feels like I'm living with a bunch of Boomhauers (from "King of the Hill") at the moment. And I just moved in with them yesterday so I haven't had any time to take pictures.
I've been feeling pretty sick lately and it's pretty miserable. My stomach always feels nauseous and I always seem to have a headache no matter what I take. The other day it felt like I was going to pass out so I asked if I could go home and lay down so I did for the next 5 hours before getting back to work. I'm not sure why as I've been eating very healthy lately. I've been eating fresh broccoli and celery (even though they're the vilest weeds) and plenty of fruit. And my fiber intake is normal as well. I haven't bought soda in a month and I've been drinking nothing but water (and milk for breakfast.) So I'm not really sure what's going on and the nurse and mission doctor aren't really helping either.
(Brian's Note: I think Eric's body is rejecting the healthy stuff. We Larsons don't know how to eat right.)
On Sunday the tabernacle was so packed for the Easter Program that I was actually sitting in the very front right corner under the balcony in front of the tv (because you can't see anything except for the drums.) I was really close to the stage though so maybe you can see me I don't know. After the broadcast Lyod Newell gets off the balcony and he crosses right in front of where I was sitting to get to the stage and I got him to shake my hand so I guess that's something.
Irish research is very, very, very, hard. Ireland's history is so messed up that it's any wonder how we have any records at all. First you have the potato famine where the majority of the population was either emigrating or dying so keeping records during that time was kind of on the least of peoples minds. And then during the Irish Civil War of 1922 the IRA (or anti-treaty forces, whatever you want to call them) occupied the Four Courts building in Dublin where most of the Irish records were kept. After a stand-off and siege lasting several months the Anti-Treaty forces were defeated, but the building was burned and many records destroyed. So yeah it doesn't help that there are so many people with Irish ancestry.
You probably already know but us Young Elders only get tickets for the Priesthood Session, and any other tickets for sessions are up to the family or other missionaries or whatever. The library will be closed on Saturday so I can watch General Conference. All theaters in Temple Square will be open so that's where we go to watch.
There's a CD player in my apartment but feel free to send me one if you want. Also did you say that you weren't going to send me an Easter package? I know I have plenty of candy but seeing everyone in my apartment get an Easter package from their families on the same day (last Friday) and nothing for me made me kind of depressed. And an when I say ab roller I mean the rolly wheel one with the handles. Those things are awesome!
I don't know if you realize but your Dear Elder letters seem to be coming to my e-mail instead of in actual letter form in the mail.
Do you know if the girls and/or Andrew are taking proper care of Viktor? Are they spraying his food with the calcium spray? Are they feeding him a variety of lettuce so he doesn't get sick? Is there always fresh water? Are they cleaning out his habitat? Are they making sure he's hydrated? Are they turning the light of at night and turning it back on in the morning?
I'm excited for Conference too I'll let you know how it is. I'm trying to write letters how but I'm always so busy. I usually use my free time to study and eat and sleep.
This is the only e-mail from the family I got so I guess I'll wait until next week to hear more.
Love, Me
