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,

This is the Camarillo Family who live outside the pueblo Piedras Negras, which means Black Rocks. He was baptized in the Gulf. She was supposed to be baptized but changed her mind. The boys want to be baptized but are waiting for their mom. They all want to grow up and serve missions. In her interview, I mentioned that her baptism would be so wonderful because her husband could do it. She told me that she didn't want him to, that it wasn't right. I was surprised at that comment. She told me that she had a dream the night before. She was standing in water dressed in white. With her in the water were these missionaries, Elders Bradshaw and Quintanar, also in white. They were to baptize her. After the interview we talked under the tree with the family and the dogs. Bro. Camarillo said that the demon was visiting his home. We didn't understand. He said that he hadn't seen the demon for 15 years and now that he was baptized, now that his wife and boys were getting ready, that the demon was coming by. We then deduced that he was referring to the local padre. At this writing, the demon still drops by, Hna. Camarillo has not been baptized, and the boys are still waiting for her. But, they are going to church, and Bro. Camarillo is 100% active. There is hope.

That's a great story. I hope she follows through on the guidance she received.
