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.

Right after the zone conference, we hustled over to the 20th of November Chapel in Poza Rica to witness the first baptism in the new Veracruz Mission. The convert sure looks happy about it all, doesn't he? There was a very cute little primary choir which sang at the baptism. As it turned out, they were practicing for the primary program and the missionaries invited them in to practice at the baptism. The missionaries are Elders Mosqueda, Hyer, and Moyar.
