Well, transfers were this last week, and guess what I am now...

Weslaco. Still. I'm actually excited to be able to work here for
the next little while still.

Well, it sounds like things have been going well at home. That
new playset sounds like quite the toy. I'm sure the grandkids
love it. I guess I'll have to see a picture of it to get a better idea
of what it really looks like, etc.

Dad, you were asking about the drug trafficking on the border,
and if I hear much about it. I've heard bits and pieces, but
haven't been affected in any way by it. I do live in a little bit of
a ghetto, well, not my apartments as much as down the street,
but I've never felt danger. I have seen my fair share of people
smoking pot, etc. About the swine flu, I've heard a little bit here
and there about it, but haven't gotten sick.

Congratulations to both Dan and Laurie on graduating this
last week! Woohoo! I'm sure it went well. I wish I could've
been there to see it, but, I'm doing bigger and better things
right now.

That diary sounds really interesting that you got a hold of, mom.
I have actually been really interested in family history since
I've been out here on the mission. Was it Thomas Cottam
that was down in the colonies in Mexico? Anyway, I've been
interested in family history a lot more than I was, and have
spent time trying to learn more of the five generation chart.

Grandma's letter and check did arrive, and I'll be responding to
that today. So, a letter will be in the mail. Tell her thank you for
me.

Well, the work here has been good. We're working with a lady
named Leticia. She just got married a couple weeks ago to a
recent convert from Peru, he was visiting our ward, and
introduced us to Leticia. We've had a couple of lessons with
her, and she is really excited about the gospel, and knows it's
true. How wonderful that is!

I've also gotten close to a recent convert family from the
English ward. They're a funny family, and they love having
the missionaries over. We go over most Sunday nights.

Well, I'm not thinking of too much more that I'm wanting to
say, or that is new that I should talk about. Know that I love
you all, and keep you in my prayers.

May the Lord bless you and keep you.
Con amor,
Elder Meservy
