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.

Elder Ricks from El Dorado Hills, CA received a new companion, Elder Rodriguez from Ciudad Juarez, Chihuahua. That is a city in Mexico you have heard about where the violence is so intense. They replaced another set of missionaries in an area which had not been particularly fruitful. It is a beautiful area of Orizaba called Ojo de Agua which translates Water Eye. Within a couple of weeks they completed these two families as members of the Church at their baptisms. Five people in one day. Good work, Elders!
