I realized on (Friday I think it was) that I forgot to tell everyone that my p-day was changed. So I went to ask Elder Andersen if I he could notify my family because I forgot to tell him and he's all like, "Okay...how am I supposed to do that?" And I say, "Uhh, don't you have my mom's e-mail or number or something?" He says, "What's your mom's phone number." and he picks up the phone with me still standing there. And so I say, "I can only remember my home phone number." And I gave it to him right there. So he calls home and Katie answers and he tells her, all while I was standing awkwardly in the office with him. So yeah he's still a little bit new but he's getting better.
My p-day was changed because Tuesday is the easiest p-day to deal with when you're a district leader because it's right after when you give your district meeting on Monday and you can cool down and take care of your weekly district leader report while taking care of other p-day things right after. So they were doing it to be nice to me. I just forgot to tell you about the change is all.
I've seen [a picture of] the storage shed. I told Dad that it's cool that we have one because, "I've always wanted to be a storage shed kind of family. I have no idea what I mean by that but I'm just saying."

| Here is the shed Eric is talking about. This was my father's day present that I had to put together myself. It took Andrew, Andrew's friend Kendall, and me several hours to finish it. |

| And here is the shed with some stuff in it, including the shelves I put together. |

| Yes, the Larson family loves The Aquabats! |
Speaking of the Zions Bank building (see Salt Lake City Falcons for more info), that's where I go to cash my checks. They also have foreign currency exchange in case Andrew is still wishing to exchange that yen he's been carrying around with him since he got home from Japan. It's also a very shiny building so I can see why a newly flying falcon can get confused and fly right into it. And no I haven't seen any rescuers yet but I still see the signs everywhere that they're on patrol.
Have fun redecorating and stuff (Note: Molly and I have been doing some painting). I don't have much to talk about either because we pretty much just barely talked. I conducted and taught my first district meeting yesterday. It went well I guess, I just wish I could get my elders to participate more. If Elder Davis wasn't in my district I don't know if anyone would say anything.
And we watched a movie on 4th of July. "The Ultimate Gift" it's called. You should watch it for family home evening or something because it's pretty good.
Love,
Elder Larson
Brian's Note: Here are a couple of things Eric said in his email to me:
I told Mom what's up with the new p-day and I don't feel like retyping it because I have like no time.
You know what else is stressful about this job? Having one of the elders in your very district read your e-mail from behind your shoulder out loud telling everyone that "Elder Larson finds his job as district leader very hard and stressful!" Luckily I do realize how important it is to be compassionate so I managed to keep my cool, and tell him why that wasn't a good thing to do.
So far I've had about 5 elders come up to me and say, "Hey my mom reads your blog." And I'm always like, "It's not my blog! It's my dad's blog about me!" So yeah apparently everyone is going to find it at some point.
I don't know what else to talk to you about either.
Love,
Elder Larson
