Year 1985

In August of 1985 I had the opportunity to go to the "Centennial Celebration" of the Mormon Colonies in Mexico. It had been 100 years since the first mormon settlers moved to Mexico and began to colonize these colonies. I went with Marie Johnson and stayed at the home of her parents, who still live in Colonia Juarez.

All my life I had heard stories about Mexico, now I have seen it.
