World's largest rotating restaurant

THOUGHT:  "If we can find forgiveness in our hearts for those who have caused us hurt and injury, we will rise to a higher level of self-esteem and well-being. ... Let us remember that we need to forgive to be forgiven."      Pres. Faust

Sat March 12
I had my monthly meeting with the doctors that help at the temple clinic.  They are dedicated servants of Heavenly Father and sacrifice a lot to make sure the missionaries in Mexico city (7 missions) are cared for and healthy.  When I got home we hopped a bus down Paseo de Palmas to the metro with the Griffins.  The metro was very crowded and we squeezed in barely.  When we got off to go to the Ciudadela a police officer noticed Sister Griffin's camera bag and told her that she needed to be very careful as the metro is full of thieves.  We walked 2 blocks to the Ciudadela, an artisan market.  We ended buying a small beaded nativity scene as did the Griffins.  We walked back to the metro and rode where we could catch a special bus called the metrobus - a very long bus that has a special lane in the middle of busy streets that is dedicated to these buses.  We were able to catch a ride to the World Trade Center building where we went up to the 45th floor to eat at the world's largest rotating restaurant.  Food was ok but the views were fantastic.  We caught an Uber home.


I caught this pic of this little boy sitting by himself in the subway
playing on a phone.  Who knows where his parents are!!


Here is a pic outside the window of the restaurant!
Sad that this is such a clear day and still the smog is bad!!

Sun Mar 13 - It took me 2 1/2 hours to do my report to Salt Lake.  We were able to walk to church since the Andersons were out of town.  Elder Salinas spoke (the area 70 that lives in our ward) and gave a very good talk on the fast.  We had dinner with the Griffins and then had to deal with a crisis at home.  All in all it was a spiritual Sunday.
