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,

Office elders, Judd (Mesa), Huaman (Peru), and Preston (Santa Rosa, CA) are with a convert and her brother before her baptismal service in Veracruz. She was baptized after church on July 27, 2009. Her name is Grudelia Salazar Ramirez and her brother's name is Guadalupe, a man named after the famous Virgin of Guadalupe which gives you a sense of the depth of Catholicism of their parents. Grudelia is about Emma's height--but now that I think about it, she is shorter--maybe Andy's height. Elder Judd and I are about the same tall, as a point of reference. Guadalupe is planning a temple marriage in a year with his wife whom he also baptized last Saturday. He himself was baptized two weeks before that.
