Mexico Day 5 Wed. Feb. 1, 2012 Helaman Tour EK Balam

Lemuel Petlacalco was our tour guide. He was LDS (Stake President) of one of the Stakes in Cancun. On the drive to the ruins we read scriptures that went along with the places we would be visiting. It was so interesting to hear about it from the Book of Mormon point of view.
This is the group we traveled with. Our guide, Lemuel, Randy and Susan, Susan and Tom Hessing, and Milt and Kathy Christensen
Mayan
The ruins at Ek Balam.  102 steps to the top of the temple.  Randy went to the top and I went up half way.   Notice the baptismal font, alter.  A lot like Solomon's Temple
Lots of symbolism that matches what is in our temples today.  So amazing to see the same as we have now compared to the Book of Mormon times. Posted by Picasa
