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.

This cute little guy was the gatekeeper to Hidalgotitlán. He was unofficial, but he had a gate and we gave him a few pesos to pass through. On the way out we did the same thing and snapped a photo. Click on the photo to zoom up. Check his clean hands and face, his calloused hands, his arthritic fingers, and the warm twinkle in his eyes.

Hidalgotitlán is a wonderful place. It is ready for missionaries. There is a good spirit there. The people were very receptive, somewhat curious about us güerros, white guys, but very congenial. Several expressed interest in talking with us if we came back. We can't go there yet. We are instructed to work from church centers. This is an appendix. We need to first establish a branch at San Cristobal and then, little by little . . . . It will be a great day when the Church can go to Hidalgotitlán.
