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,
Pdte. y Hna. Pete and JoElla Hansen

This one is on the blog with the permission, better stated with the strong encouragement, of the missionary. He is Elder Tryon from San Antonio. He needed a shot of an antibiotic for a serious staph infection. He went to the pharmacy and bought the antibiotic without a prescription. Advantage: Mexico. Then, he took it to a lady in the ward who is a licensed nurse. That much we demanded. We didn't want his companion injecting him. Advantage: No waiting room or HMO to get in the way. She is happily hurting him. That is the way we do it in Mexico sometimes. His companion is in the room taking the picture. Don't you love the look on his face?

Classic! This post brings back memories to my husband who had to have surgery in Honduras on his mission... what was he thinking?!
Needless to say, his mom didn't know about the surgery until after the fact!( 6 months after-Ha!)
Thanks for all the updates. We love your blog, and feeling just a little closer to what Elder Page is experiencing there. And I do "steal" from your blog, but I always copy and paste your words, so I will not misquote :).
