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.

Hidalgotitlán is a pueblo of about 8,000 people an hour or so west and south of the city, Minatitlán. The stake president wants us to open a mission branch there. We gathered some missionaries went to investigate. The first picture is the town square and the Palacio Municipal, City Hall. The second is a side street and the Rio Coatzacoalcos. If you look closely you will see Elders Blanco and Sierra on the right, down toward the river, contacting a couple.



Mom and I went into the Catholic Church on the town square. It was very nice, clean and tidy. We were very interested to see the tithing box. The writing translates, "Tithing--Deposit your envelope here."
