Wow. The weeks keep rolling on by. I'm enjoying my new area. It's been a lot of stress, but it's good. I'm excited to be able to work with these missionaries. It's been a crazy week. We had a baptism this last Saturday. The first time that I met the kid was at his baptism. He was really excited about his baptism, and he's very solid. I'll try to get a picture to ya'll next week. It's not wanting to work right now. Anyway, things are looking up for us here. We set 4 new baptismal dates this last week. We've found some great people. I'm really sad that I won't be here to see them get baptized, but that's alright. I'll do whatever I can do help build up the work here.
I really don't have a whole lot to say. Things really go about the same every week here. One thing I'll say, it certainly is nice to be in a car. It was the hottest week this year, and it's supposed to be even hotter this week.
Yesterday and Saturday we had district conference (Laredo is still a district.) I was able to see recent converts from other areas, and also a couple investigators that we were working with in my last area. It was so great to see everybody again. There really is nothing like seeing recent converts still active and going to church!
This work really is the greatest blessing that we could have in our lives. How very grateful I am to be able to serve the Lord for the rest of this time, however short it may be. I am working hard, and am sprinting to the end. I love the Lord. I love this work. It truly is His work, and His glory. What a blessing we have to participate in it.
Love,
Elder John H. Meservy
