1000 Days in Veracruz

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,

We were running out of time. This part of the mission was going to belong to the Villahermosa Mission in just three weeks. So, we got up on a Saturday morning, our theoretical preparation day, and drove to Los Tuxtlas via Monte Pio. We had never been there but had heard from missionaries that it is beautiful. They were right. We saw some very nice iguanas, tiny fishing villages, and children playing along a beautiful coastline.
