Join John Bytheway and Dave Hadlock on a Book of Mormon cruise adventure. This 10-night cruise departs out of Miami, Florida. It includes stops in the Mexico, Belize, Guatemala, Honduras, Costa Rica and of course, Panama. During the days on the ship, you’ll have the opportunity to attend Book of Mormon classes taught by John. You will love the private tours we offer in each stop. John & Dave will bring the scriptures to life as they teach onboard the ship and on site. Join us on a Book of Mormon cruise as we explore the Caribbean and traverse a portion of the Panama Canal.

John was born and raised in Salt Lake City, and he served his mission in the Philippines. Following his mission he attended the University of Utah, and later graduated from BYU. John is the co-host of the Follow Him podcast with Hank Smith. John has taught the Book of Mormon and the New Testament at Brigham Young University, and the BYU Salt Lake Center since 1996. In 2003, he earned a Master’s Degree in Religious Education. He is the author of more than two dozen books and CDs many of which, he says, are effective non-prescription sleep-aids. He loves to golf, write, read, and play the banjo and guitar. John is a founding member of the local chapter of the Andy Griffith Show Re-run Watchers Club, and does a spot-on impersonation of Deputy Sheriff Barney Fife. John has served as a bishop, and was recently released as a member of the Young Men’s General Advisory Council (formerly known as the General Board). John and Kim’s children have served missions in France, Iceland, Tahiti and West Virginia, and another son is currently serving in Uruguay.

Dave has spent more than 20 years leading tours to religious and historical sites. Before founding Bountiful Travel, he worked as a guide for several LDS tour operators, developing a reputation for thoughtful teaching, deep scriptural insight, and a relaxed, engaging style. His passion for teaching began during his time as a missionary, when—echoing the words of Alma—he felt his soul enlarge as he learned from a master teacher of the scriptures. Wanting to help others experience that same spiritual connection, Dave immersed himself in the study of the scriptures, a pursuit he has continued ever since. His academic background includes graduate work toward a Master’s degree in Ancient Near Eastern Studies, with an emphasis in Biblical Hebrew. Dave approaches scripture with a desire to uncover original intent while making its message meaningful and personal for modern learners. With training in both Ancient Near Eastern and Mesoamerican studies, he enjoys highlighting symbolism, cultural context, and unique insights that bring the scriptures to life. Known for his laid-back personality and love of people, Dave believes learning should be both meaningful and enjoyable. He has led more than 100 tour groups to Israel and other locations over the past two decades and feels blessed to have had this opportunity. His hope is that his enthusiasm for the scriptures is contagious—and that you’ll join him on one of his journeys. When he’s not teaching or traveling, Dave enjoys pickleball, cheering on his kids at soccer games, watching sports (especially anything BYU), and hanging out with his wife doing anything.
