hey evryone! this weekend was probably the best weekend of my life. not kidding. no i didnt go to acapulco or veracruz. hahah but some really cool things went down this week. ill start from the begining.
friday: we had multi zone conf. prez talked to us about the temple and really motivated me. it was a good confrence. i also got to see some of my buddies from my generation. elder loser, glenn, gillespie and elmer. i also got to see my old dl elder ewell. it was good to cetch up on the good old times.
saturday: we worked up until 12 and then ate with a member. then we left for the Estadio Azteca. the biggest futbol stadium in latin america or the world i dont remember. we got there around three. i got to see almost evryone from my gen. there. i also saw my dad elder bentancourt and my brother elder alverez. also i got to see about half of the members from my first area. they were all really excited to see me but i didint have time to talk for a while so i gust shook their hands and said hi. but it was really cool to see them.
then we got into the stadium. it is huge. it is almost the same as qualcom but way bigger. it is the same shape and evrything. but we sat in zones and missions. i sat next to elder loser. it was cool to hang with him for the whole thing. so then we started to sing, evryone in the stadium hymns to wait for the prophet. it was really cool. i felt the spirit really strong as we sang almost all of the members from DF together. then the prophet came and waved to evryone it was really cool.
then we started. prayer, song, the usual. then president eyring spoke and then the Prophet spoke. they both gave short talks but they were both really good talks. then they started the dances. all of the stakes from DF danced it was cool but we were siting so low that we couldnt see well. then they told us that we were going soon and that we needed to go out of the stadium to go in from the botom onto the feild. we all (2000 missionaries from DF Puebla and Cornavaca) left our seats and headed to the ramps. we were like a herd of cows. it was crazy we all moved like one person down this really steep ramp. i couldnt stop. it was crazy. then we were about to enter the feild.
the young men from DF dressed up like missionaries and went on the feild and started to sing a missionarie song. i dont remember what it was but it was cool. then we started to walk on the feild singing "Called to Serve" it was way cool. the people whent crazy. i could feel how much the members here really support and love the missionaries. then we were all out there on the feild and the prophet was waving his hankerchif at us and then the whole stadium did it. it was awesome.
then we left the feild and the stadium. we were the last act. then we got tortas and went home. and slept
sunday: we went to the rededicaion at 12. we went to the stake center to watch it. it was soo cool i felt the Holy Ghost so strong during most of the session. it was a great experiance to see a Prophet of the Lord rededicate a Temple.
sory for the long email but this weeek a lot of things happened. we had transfers last night and we are both staying here in Mirasoles. but we got a new Zone Leader. guess who. Elder Glenn my comp from the MTC. that is way cool. he is an awsesom missionarie and has been fluent for like 3 months. crazy huh?
