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.

Okay. This is weird. In a neighborhood, a regular Veracruz neighborhood with houses and people and small children, only a few blocks from a beautiful new church house, there is this one house of some people who are members of the Church. Some people here have dogs for pets, some have a parrot, most have dogs--noisy, skinny dogs with lots of ribs poking out and fleas--but these folks have a crocodile. Yup. A real, live croc which is at least 8 feet long. They also have some cute little fat kids running around. The youngest we saw was about 18 months, probably. The croc tank has no cover. Why does one need a cover on the croc tank? The beast hasn't eaten anyone yet! The missionaries have fed live chickens to the croc. This is in Veracruz, I say, not out in the middle of nowhere. ¡Vive México!
