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.

We took lots of pictures inside the museum. You'll have to drop by and we will give you a slide show. I liked the skulls.


In the other shot we are standing beside one of the original Olmec Heads which date to the time of the Jaredites. They were found in our mission,some near the Hill Vigía which stands watch above Santiago Tuxtla. The word vigía translates watchman. The Olmecs are the oldest civilization in the Western Hemisphere, according to the anthropologists. The Olmecs did not worship these figures, but carved them from basalt to honor their leaders.
