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.

Con amor,
Pdte. y Hna. Pete and JoElla Hansen

Two days after the burglary we received five motivated missionaries from the USA. They are Elders Butterfield, Moa (a Hawaiian who brought a box of chocolate covered macadamia nuts--I like him a lot), Thomson, Rider, and Buck.


Here they are the next day complete with their trainers and new mission ties.

You are welcome to send the Hawaiian up to Barrio Cardel anytime! Glad to see that you are safe!
