A FLEETING THOUGHT
One reason for the decline in moral values is that the world has invented a new, constantly changing, and undependable standard of moral conduct referred to as "situational ethics." Now, individuals define good and evil as being according to each situation; this is in direct contrast to the proclaimed God-given absolute standard: "Thou shalt not!
--David B. Haight (Ensign, May 1987)

LANDS OF THE BOOK OF MORMON SUPER TRIP
The Book Of Mormon came alive as we explored possible areas where the Mulekites and Jaredites lived. Discovering the local culture, food and arts opened new horizens in our understanding of our neighbors. It was wonderful to feel of the Mexican saint's warmth and spirits. They were incredibly hospitable. Our playtime in Acapulco was too fun to put into words!

Saturday - Fly into Mexico City and take a walking tour of downtown.
Sunday - Mexico City! Attend church with the local saints. Visit the National Musuem of Anthropology which houses the finest collection of Mesoamerican artifacts and culture.
