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,

On a Saturday morning in August, Mom and I drove to the Ojo de Agua Ward (literally Water Eye or Eye of Water, but really means "spring" as in spring of water) in Orizaba for a special interview of Noelia Rodriguez. It was a long and emotional interview for the lady whose primay concern was remaining active in the church because she works too much. We decided that her level of activity was one of personal choice. I felt to offer her a blessing. She agreed to that. The missionaries assisted. There were a few tears and a nice spirit prevailed. The second picture is of her and her son at their baptism that night. We saw her at the Orizaba Stake Conference in December sitting on the fourth row, fully active and smiling. The missionaries are Elders Castillo and Rodriguez.
