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,

We really like Chili's. We used to go the Chili's a lot and always started with an order of chips and salsa. Weird, but you can't get chips and salsa here. You can get fried flour chips, but in an area of Mexico where there are only corn tortillas, we never see chips of corn and salsa. Then we found a Chili's. It is in Xalapa and is the only one in our mission. They have real Mexican chips and salsa just like in America! We went to Xalapa on business and then took Elders Gates (Overton, NV), Collins (Centerville, UT), and Amador (Mexico) with us. We are so proud of Elder Gates. He came here and didn't think he would like the food, but he now really does and has gained a bunch of weight. He told me that he is looking forward to trying iguana and armadillo someday. They serve neither at Chili's, but the salmon was really good.
