Translation

Actually, it is not for 1000 days. It is just that 3 years times 365 days plus June 27 through June 30, 2008 equals 1098 days, and that is way too cumbersome to convert into a blog headline. Futhermore, our release date will not be determined until May or June of 2011. Therefore, 1000 Days sounded just about right, more or less. Having noted all that, we are humbled and thrilled (Pres. Uchtdorf would refer to the feeling as "joyfully overwhelmed") about having this marvelous opportunity to serve in La Mision Mexico Veracruz.

Con amor,

Next door to the mission home is a vacant lot. It has been full of weeds and other growth higher than the fence. It is certainly a breeding ground for mosquitos and lots of other bugs and rats and vermin and. . . . In the meantime, Mom has been praying, sort of, that the city (Ha!) would clean it up. Well, her "sort of" prayer was answered. It took two evenings of work with big equipment but it was cleaned. Then a real estate company wrote a for sale add on the back wall and posted the big yellow sign which warned that litterers would be prosecuted. (Ha!)
