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,

Lucky guys get to drive the equipment which picks up the sugar cane. They must be related to the bosses. Trailers haul the canes to the refineries. There the cane is chopped, boiled, the sucrose is extracted, they mix it with some chemicals of some kind, and you have white cane sugar. Mexico is 5th in the world in sugar production. Ugly labor, tough, tough life, though. But, it´s worth it to make Peeps for Easter.

That's a lot of work to get the main ingredient for Swiss Cake Rolls. . .

It's good to see the updates. I like the tough guy pose.

Cool picture! I now appreciate my sugar even more. I think I'll have a slice of birthday cake to celebrate!
