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.

This was a great July evening in Xalapa. The zone leaders organized what we call a "bauti-zona." That means that every companionship in a zone baptizes the same week or day. A bauti-zona is rare. In fact, in this one someone changed his mind about receiving baptism, so one companionship did not baptize. But, still it was a great evening. The service was very well organized, highly spiritual. They had special numbers featuring a cello and violin. The missionaries sang that Armies of Helaman Primary song. It was moving, all singing, happy, dressed in white. After the closing prayer, the second foto was projected on the screen in the stake center as the missioaries sang "Love One Another."
The missionaries are (back row) Elders Page, Gates, Vazquez, Menet, Holman, Castro, Martinez, and Zárate; (middle row) Elders Christlieb, Phipps, and Llanos, Sisters Pech and Sanchez; Elder Hernandez kneeling in the front.
