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.

There is an interesting word they use here. It is planchar which translates "to iron." You planchar your shirt, you planchar your trousers, and sometimes you planchar missionaries. To planch a missionary means you chew him out. Our Elder Moyar from Payson, UT, who is at least as rubber-faced as Jim Carrey, asked me to planch him, which I warmly did.
