Aztec Stadium

Today the Mexico City Temple was dedicated by President Monson and Elder Eyring. It was a beautiful ceremony. We watched from the Stake Center.

Last night as a prelude to the event, we attended a cultural extravaganza at Aztec Stadium, which holds 120,000 people. It was nearly filled to capacity.

Each stake participated in a portion of the program, which detailed the history of the Church in Mexico. Most of the youth performed dances associated with different epocas.

(This is a picture of some of the "Aztec" dancers lining up before the show. It was too dark to get photos after they began to dance)

My personal favorite - the missionaries walking in singing "Called to Serve," 2,000 in all!

And, of course, the crowd went wild when they saw President Monson. They all brought white handkerchiefs to wave at him.

A great experience!
