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

Elder Carter and Elder Courtright are on the blog a lot. That is because they baptize a lot of people. They had something like 18 weeks in a row. They are like many of our dedicated missionaries who believe that they can do it and then go all they can to succeed. This good man is Osbaldo. He is 36 years old and blind. He speaks quite a bit of English having traveled, undocumented, through many parts of the United States over many years until he was finally deported. He told me that God took his sight because he drank too much and used too many drugs when he was younger. He is a very happy convert to the Church.
