  Archeologist, Richard Hansen for FHE A well-known archeologist in these parts, Richard Hansen, came to our Senior Missionary FHE, which we have most Tuesday evenings, to share some of his knowledge accumulated over more than 40 years.  In the above picture he is talking about something created by the ancient Mayans. This is an artists rendition of the huge highways they created mostly to carry farming produce to various locations. As you can see, they run through swamp-like areas from which the Mayans took very rich mud to use in their farming. Evidently, this was key to their farming success.

Guatemala City Temple Yesterday, we were able to attend the Guatemala City Temple for the first time. It was dedicated in December of 1984, so the faithful saints in this area have had a temple for a long time. We very much enjoyed our experience and the temple workers were very friendly. At least two of them remembered my Uncle Tim who served as mission president in this area many years ago. I was very grateful for the quiet time to worship and meditate. We will try to attend frequently.

Just wanted to share more photos of the beautiful city where we have lived for more than 9 months.
