We took Eric to the MTC today.  Anxious Elders were waiting to escort him to his room and get him acquainted with his new accommodations.  As soon as we Eric's luggage out of the care it was being carried away waiting for Eirc to follow.  He was so excited!  He gave us all Hugs and he was gone just like that.  Prior to dropping him off we took a family photo at the Provo Temple by the water fountain.  Our last visual memory of Eric.  We look forward to hearing from him on preparation day.
