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.

Anton Lizardo is a place we have mentioned. It is about 15-20 minutes downcoast from Veracruz and is a destination point for weekenders, a fishing town, home of the naval academy, and a great missionary area. It is not yet a formal branch, but is a group dependent on a ward. The members of the group meet in the home of recent convert Juan Sanchez and his family. About 45 people are attending each week. The missionaries are baptizing many young men between the ages of 14 and 16. Here are two of them before they entered the water standing with Bishop Torales of the Veracruz Lomas del Mar Ward. The missionaries are Elders Rodriguez Vazquez and Rojo Schultz. Yup. That is his name. Elder Christopher Kevin Rojo Schulz from Mexico City. His ancestors emigrated from Germany a couple of generations ago.



In the Gulf, Elder Rojo is instructing one of the converts on how to place his hands for convenience while the ordinance is being performed. Bro. Sanchez went out into the water to serve as one of the witnesses to the baptism and to congratulate the young men after their baptism.
