Today marks one year for us here in Mexico. The time really has gone fast. It doesn't seem too long ago that we were just figuring out how to get out of the Costco Parking lot, in the pouring rain, without having our parking ticket stamped. :)
We met the first two missionaries from our mission one year ago today - both serving as assistants to the President - and now Elder Martinez has gone home and Elder Blasdell is going home in August. Russ has had 4 more assistants called since that time, Elder Cook, Elder Castaneda, Elder Lopez A, and Elder Lake.
We've had about 185 Elders and Sisters come and go in the past year. If my math is right, Russ has held over 2,000 interviews, at least 36 separate zone conferences, and who knows how many talks he has given!
Missionaries are always hungry - I think we've fed them over 1,700 individual meals, and given out over 1,000 snacks. :)
We've learned so much over the course of the past year, and look forward to learning more! It has been a wonderful and humbling experience to be with these dedicated missionaries, and try to help them be successful.

Hi Ellen & Russ, Congratulations on reaching the 1 year mark. Those
statistics on how many meals and snacks and interviews are mind boggling. Love & prayers from
