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.

But, even though we were officially closed for business all over Mexico, we were permitted to hold services in small groups in member's homes. All over the mission our missionaries did that. They went in and shared a brief message, sang together, shared the sacrament, visited many members that day both active and inactive. They invited investigators into homes. In spite of the adversity, we enjoyed one of our best weeks. Bishops held very small baptismal services. Converts were confirmed the following week in normal sacrament services. We met with the office elders for our own special sacrament meeting. Elder Barrio, one of the assistants is ironing a clean sheet to use for the table. In the next foto the elders (Elders Huaman, Eduardo, Barrio, Judd, Blanco, Lopez, Page) are posing, but we had a very nice and spiritual testimony meeting around the council table. Don't you love Mom's hair? I am in trouble for posting this one . . .
