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.

The day after missionaries go home we normally hold our zone leaders council. This is the council of March 26th which includes new zone leaders. In the council at the beginning of February there were only three American missionaries in leadership at this level. Now we have a few more. We don't select by race or by time in service. It is done, just like in the Church, by inspiration. The missionaries are, back row: Elders Blanco, Barrio, Ramirez, Garcia, Galvan, and Hunter (Riverton, UT). Front row: Elders Barrett (Honolulu), Gonzalez, Aranda, Carmack (Summit, NJ), Bangerter (Mt. Pleasant, UT), Rusk (Merritt Island, Florida), Alcantara, Norcross (Essex Junction, Vermont), Ficiur (Bow Island, Canada), Ling (Olympia, Washington), De la Cruz, Esquer, Lindsay (Centennial, CO), and Garza.

What a great looking group! It does make me wish we had a conference room, though.

Un abrazo.

They are very sharp looking (especially Elder Carmack, in my very prejudiced opinion). Thanks for posting, and abrazos from the Carmacks, too.
