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,

Elder Orozco came to us from Merida, Mexico. He grew up in San Diego, CA, but was deported when he was 18. He was involved in gangs and all sorts of problems. He is one of our most fun missionaries. His English is perfect Spanglish and so is his Spanish. We communicate very well. He never really knows when he is shifting Spanish to English. It is automatic. He was our materials secretary for awhile. We have 30 beds in a dorm at the mission offices. The foto is of Elder Orozco hauling a wheel barrow load of dirty sheets to the washing machine.

A 30 bed dorm - seriously?? OK, that ranks right up there with my 3ovens in the mission home!
