From Cindy
I got a email from one of the Mom's in my Missionary group:
In our program at church yesterday {maybe in yours, too} it said that
we can go to Mesa South Stake Center to watch the cultural celebration.
Here's what it said:
"The Mexico City Temple has recently been renovated and will be
rededicated on Sunday, November 16th, 2008. A cultural celebration
will be held in conjunction with the rededication and broadcast on
Saturday, November 15th, at 5:30 p.m. Mountain Standard Time. The
Temple dedication will be broadcast on Sunday, November 16th, at 6:00
p.m. Mountain Standard Time. Those who wish to attend the rebroadcast
of the rededication must have dedication recommends. There would be
no limitations on who may enjoy the broadcast of the cultural event on
Saturday. Tickets to view the cultural celebration broadcast are not
required. Locations for both broadcast events have been set, and our
nearest location would be the Mesa South Stake Center, 1415 East
Southern Avenue. If you wish to attend the rededication broadcast,
please contact your Bishopric today."
I thought I'd share. If you have a Spanish branch in your area you might have the same opportunity. I haven't heard anymore but will post more if I see it. What a blessing Elder Curtis has to be able to have this great opportunity! He will be a very tired missionary when this is all over.
