Renée-Chiapas
This is my first time in Chiapas, Mexico. I am having a GREAT time! On Sunday, I got to travel to Chamula. I had my expectations but, Chamula exceeded them all. I loved the church San Juan Chamula. I grew up a Baptist Christian, so going to a Catholic church, in another country was pretty powerful. It reminded me of how the people in my church are dedicated to serving God. I can really respect that.
The first people we met when we step out of the Cambies (its a van), were the girls from Chamula. They were asking for pictures from Lou. Thats how we are allowed to take their pictures. We either pay them or do a trade. It was awsome.
The picture I chose, I took in Chamula of one of the girls after I told them that we would be back next week with more pictures. Her response reminds me of the type I would've given at that age. She cracked me up! She made my day! I will never forget her.
