We thought you might like seeing the photo of the Oaxaca Temple. It is very pretty. We left our service project items with some missionaries at the front gate. The temple Pres. was not there. We also attended sacrament meeting in the chapel next door. It was a wonderful experience to be there on fast Sunday. When the ward members arrived they came over and greeted each one of us. Sometimes the women would give us a kiss on the cheek. What was really fun was the all wanted to bear their testimony and they waited up on the stand for their turn. Even the teenage boys. It was an emotional experience for dad and me. The other photo is while we were waiting for a little train to take us to the top of the hill to go into a castle. That was fun too.
We have had so many experiences, we are writing them in our journal, because there are so many things we´ve done. We went out on a Catarmaran in Hualtuco Bay. We stopped at
a couple of lagoons to walk the beach or have lunch. It was so wonderful. Today we went on a boat ride down the Grijalva River which is the proposed River Sidon, and also the city of Sidon. We have been traveling today thru the proposed Zarahemla.
The visited a highland Mayan village (Lamanite). That was a unique experience. We went into their village cathedral. It was full of flowers everywhere, right down to flower petals on the floor. The leaders of the village sat out front doing some sort of ceremony. We couldn´`t take pictures of them our of respect for their traditions.
Tomorrow we will go to Palenque and spend several days . We will try to write again. There´ll be lots to tell you when we get home. love ya madre and padre
