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.

When we go south for zone conferences we have to stay overnight. The hotel is called the Terranova. This view is from the restaurant and is taken very early in the morning. The picture was taken on March 30. This is the dry season so the grass is very brown. When the rain starts in June all will be brilliant green. The river is the Coatzacoalcos. The fisherman is headed downstream toward the Gulf of Mexico which is only a couple of miles away as the crow flies, but many miles as the river runs through the flat countryside. The beds in every Mexican hotel we have been in are hard as a board. But, at least in the Terranova the mosquitos are well fed--by us. Click on the foto to enlarge and see the fisherman.
