I received a great email, not to mention that it was a very
long email with lots of stories… my favorite!
Eric has not changed one little bit and has found ways to
amuse himself, so here is the story in his words…
We met and had dinner with President Lewis and his
wife. They are really loving and kind
people. The cool thing is when I leave
to come home they will leave too, so I get them my whole mission. So funny story, as we were going home I told
the “AP’s” that I had one leg and they asked me if the elders that picked us up
at the airport knew about my one leg. I told them no. We then spend about 30 minutes coming up with
a wonder plan to break it to them! Wahahaha It went a little like this. One of the elders had some old pants that
didn't fit him anymore so what we did was, we ripped off the left pant leg and
then proceeded to put catsup and pizza sauce all over my leg. :) The AP’s then
continued to carry my lifeless body into the house where they lived. The two elders who had picked me up from the airport
starting to scream so loud!!!! One ran
out of the house yelling for help and the other start to go running for ice and
to call 911. Of course before they got
to the phone I stopped my award winning performance and came back to life :) It was a Christmas miracle! After that we went
to bed because we had a full day ahead of us.
Oh Man they are in for an eventful 2 years! He is all settled and have already given
blessings and taught lessons. A daughter from a Lao family has been offered to him in marriage…. OH
NO!
He also found out that all the Lao missionaries get new
names. So he was taken to a very elderly
Lao lady and her name she came up for Eric is Somwang, which means “Perfect Hope”. He said that it is safe to say that he has
the coolest Lao name. I think that it is
very fitting.
