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,

In a zone conference in Los Tuxtlas, the missionaries were practicing contacting people. Mom and I decided to play the part of a couple in the street. I think I told them that my name was Jose y María Miranda de Ayala Mendoza. I am not positive what Elders Bangerter from Mt Pleasant UT, Elder Rusk from Merrit Island FL, and Mom are laughing at. It might have been the part when one of the missionaries asked, "What do you do on Sundays?" I responded, "Pues, yo tomo y ella cocina para mí." "Well, I drink and she cooks for me." Or maybe it was when they asked, "Are you married?" and I answered, "Claro que sí, pero no por la ley pero por el amor." "Clearly yes, but not by the law, just by our love." What's so funny about that? That's the way it is! Well, not at our house, you understand, but that is the way it is.

Claro que si. Of course they are laughing. Look at the expression on your face! You are totally hamming it up. Looks like a fun zone conference.
