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.

In the afternoon Spence, Jane and Mason ran up an ancient Lamanite pyramid in the town of San Juan Xiutetelco. The stairs are there for convenvience to get to the Catholic shrine on top. It is actually a little prayer shrine and tiny chapel which has been locked every time we have been there.


There are at least three pyramids in San Juan. This picture was taken from the one they climbed.

INTERESTINGLY AS I WAS LOOKING FOR PICTURES OF SAN JUAN XIUTETELCO PUEBLA, I FOUND YOUR BLOG,

IT'S AMAZING! SEE, I WAS BAPTIZED AT THAT LITTLE TOWN WHEN I WAS 14 YEARS OLD AND MOVED TO LIVE AT MRS MATUS HOUSE (A VERY WELL KNOWN MORMON FAMILY IN THE TOWN) FROM THE AGE OF 5 TO 14, I LIVED WITH MY GRANDMOTHER AT THE FEET OF ONE OF THE 7 PIRAMIDS IN THE TOWN.
THE ONE NEAR LA (LA TORRE) THAT PLACE COMBINED TO THE BOOK OF MORMON KNOWLEDGE SO PROFOUNDLY AFFECTED MY INNER SOUL...
NOWADAYS I HAVE 2 CHILDREN, LIVE AT CANCUN MEXICO, AND HAVE DEDICATED MY LIFE TO THE RESEARCH OF THE MESOAMERICAN CULTURES AND THEIR RELATION WITH THE BOOK OF MORMON.
I'M SO THANKFUL WITH THOSE WHO DECIDED TO DO NOT GIVE UP, AND CONTINUED TEACHING ME THE GOSPEL, SO THANKFUL FOR THEIR FAITH AND THEIR TESTIMONIES, BECAUSE THAT CONVERTED MY HEARTH.

I ALSO GOT TO SERVE A MISSION AT TORREON MEXICO, 7 YEARS AGO, I LOVED THE TIME THERE AND MY MISSION PRESIDENTS.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR SERVICE IN VERACRUZ AND YOUR ATTENTION TO THAT LITTLE TOWN!

BEST REGARDS!
