They should invite this Lamanite to the next GC

After all, he's a Mayan elder, he should know what's going to happen this year:

Are the Sacred Books of Chilam Balam the Mayan Book of Mormon

Shouldn't somebody compare the translations to see if Smith did it right?

...no, I guess not.

Re: They should invite this Lamanite to the next GC

I don't see how the Mayans can even be Book of Mormon people. Their calendar started almost 1,000 years before the Jaradites.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maya_calendar

According to the correlation between the Long Count and Western calendars accepted by the great majority of Maya researchers (known as the Goodman-Martinez-Thompson, or GMT, correlation), this starting-point is equivalent to August 11, 3114 BCE in the proleptic Gregorian calendar or 6 September in the Julian calendar (−3113 astronomical).

Jaradites 2200 B.C.
