Guatemala

In June, Jaren took a trip to Guatemala with two of his seminary teachers as guides. It was such a great trip and these are just a few of the pictures (over three thousand) that were gathered and loaded onto a CD for everyone. They are totally out of order and to be honest I'm not to sure which some of the ruins were. They started out by going to the Guatemala City Temple and doing baptisms and a service project to deliver clothes for missionaries at the MTC there. They then went to the National Museum and the Kaminaljuyu Ruins in Guatemala City.
This is actually the end of the trip, swimming in the Caribbean.
Swimming Misol Ha waterfall, I think!
Tikal Ruins, there are over 3000 buildings buried in the jungle.

Brother Adams and his wife. This was the first time she had gotten to go. Parents of 14 children.
Brother Scott Pearce, I have never seen anybody so enthusiastic. He must be a great seminary teacher, and I know the kids love him.
On the way to the Chicanna ruins.
One of the many meals, unfortunately one meal made everyone sick, except for one guy that had already been sick and wasn't eating.

Jaren heading out for a swim.
Jaren of course took a book and fell asleep.

Took a boat ride up the Usumacinta River to Yaxchilan, covered today in vines and jungle. Where they stayed in a hotel that you could hear the jungle around you.

Jaren wanted his hair cut short, so he wouldn't have to worry about it on the trip. Here he is hiking up the volcano.

These are the orange shirts for the trip, they handed them out at the SLC airport before departure. Really helped to find the group as they were all assembling. Jaren is standing next to BJ, he is Debbie Comstock's nephew.

This was great experience, even though he never says much, I could tell he had a great time. His roommate Danny turned out to live just a few blocks away and is now at BYU Idaho going to school. They had a a super time.
