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.

This is the most common way to mix cement in Mexico. They shake some concrete mix out of a bag onto the street. Then add some lime and mix it in. Form a bowl. Add water and mix with a shovel. You can see evidence of this all up and down our street and almost every street in neighborhoods. I asked the worker about a cement mixer. He said that he had seen those, but they are quite expensive--6000-8,000 pesos. Shovel works just fine, he told me.

Cement can fix anything, no?
