well this week was a good one!! We finally went to tikal.. We have been waiting on going because they want to charge us 150 quetz when we are citizens of Guatemala and it should be 25... we paid 75. not bad i guess. We arrived at 8 or so and started at 9.. with 4 hours to see what we had to see... Thats a good time.. I heard 5 hours but it was good to relax on pyramids.. we had some members come to church from Oregon.. they were also at tikal the same day. I got a bunch of good pictures and was RUNNING up and down ruins.. Everyone else didnt want to have that much energy, but didnt see as much either..FYI... Im really tired.. Tikal is a 1 day thing... maybe we can travel after but im beat!!.. It was fun to go see.. there are about 3 ruins that you can climb up onto and take pictures.. you can see the tips above the trees.
Anyway there are a few that are really steep.. Its a scary climb and very steep, but do able.. and the walk was tough.. then again we were VERY rushed and i was almost running. Doable.I also found a japanese couple.. I was tempted to Slaughter Head Shoulders Knees And Toes.. but i remembered how annoying it is to hear guatemalans say :Hello Mister: I didnt do it... I did tell them that dad spoke japanese but i dont know where the towns were that he served in... I did have them record about 15 seconds of japanese for dad to practice... Then the Girl asked if she could have a picture with me.. LET ME TELL YA... the other elders were like WHAT IS WOOD DOING!!!???? I felt good though. THe spoke A little english and had to talk very Slowly..
Anyway Tikal was fun! Not really many prospects for babtism..
I think thats all.. Wood
