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,

Our minivan blew up. It is not burning oil but has "blow by" meaning that a ring in one of the cylinders is cracked or otherwise demolished. So, oil blows by the piston and out through the tailpipe. At least one liter of oil is required each time we gas up. The Church deals with this stuff, but this part of the Church is in Mexico City. They said to park it and rent something while they decide what to do. We contacted Hertz Rentals--I am not making this up--and told them we needed a minivan. This is what we got. We thought about parking it on the lot, but didn't want to get arrested (Ha!) for littering. To fully appreciate this Hertz Rental, click on the foto to enlarge.
