(Can you spot our missionary??? He's on the top row, 4th from the right)As most of you know, Dusty, my brother is serving a full time mission for our church in MX City. And, as most of you know, there is an outbreak of Swine Flu there. There have been 150+ confirmed deaths from it, and confirmed cases of it in CA, TX, NY, and even as north as Canada. The deadliest thing about this string is it exhibits all the same symptoms of the regular flu, so without a blood test it is impossibe to know if you have it. The scary thing is there is no vaccine just yet.
They are still working on THE hybrid of vaccines to cure this thing!
The missionaries, along with all the people of MX have been instructed to avoid contact. No shaking hands, hugging, etc. We will hear from Dusty tomorrow to see how things are!
We're anxious to hear from him on Mother's Day!
Can you believe it's been just about 11 months (on May 25th)???
Not to mention there was a 6.0 earthquake in Aculpuco...It's like the end of the World!

Yea! 1 year down, 1 to go! I'm more worried about the boys who won't be allowed back in the states to go home if it comes to closing the borders! SAD! If it gets real bad they might transfer them...
That woud be nice, just to get them out of harm's way.
