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,

Elders Hernandez from Mexico City and Holman, a new missionary from Tigard, Oregon work in Coatepec near Xalapa. In an interview, Elder Hernandez wept that he had never baptized or completed a family. He has been a successful missionary, but every missionary dreams of baptizing families. To complete a family means that one spouse is a member and that the other gets baptized. He asked for a blessing. He was promised that if he worked hard, was obedient, and went forward with faith that he would find a family to complete or baptize that very week. This is a picture of the family they found that week and completed in the waters of baptism.
