Our 28th Temple

So yesterday we were blessed with the opportunity to attend our 28th Temple. (Eddie says we can't actually count it as our 28th Temple!) We got to go to the Re-dedication of the Mexico City Mexico Temple....at our Stake Center. Our ward had about 25 tickets. Some people didn't go because they thought there would be a language barrier. For a change we got to wear the headphones and only 4 of the talks were in Spanish.
Before the Re-dedication session started we got to see the different rooms in the temple while Mo Tab was singing. They weren't there, it was all pre-recorded. The temple is beautiful!

This is some of the wood working! It's just beautiful!

It was a wonderful opportunity for us. Eddie had never been to a temple dedication, so he was very excited to be there. We also had Patricia with us. She was baptized in August! She loved it! I loved the choir! It was about 17 people! They opened with, "Let the Mountains Shout for Joy!" I didn't need any translation. That's the first song I ever sang in an "adult" stake conference choir! It was fun hearing it in Spanish!

It was a great experience to be united with our Mexican brothers and sisters both in our stake center and in Mexico City. President Monson was funny! In his talk, he told us that he wished he could speak Spanish and then he shared what he remembered from 7th grade Spanish. He rattled off the months of the year! As Pres. Monson said them in Spanish the interpreter said them in English! Then much to my delight!!! He said a few lines of the song I learned in 7th grade! Alla in el rancho grande!!!! Alla donde vi via! He even remembers the same lines I do. I was grateful he didn't finish with the last line! It talks about underwear!!!! He shared stories of LeGrand Richards too. It was a great service. So glad we were able to attend!
