The ancient Mayans were very religious people.  Their entire life was focused on pleasing their gods.  From building enormous pyramids to even the games the people played, their end desire was to please their god.

Last evening we attended a cultural musical presentation.  A part of the evening was a group of men playing of the ancient ball games. They would race to the hall sacrificing bruises and scrapes on their bodies to hit the ball with their hip.  Using only their hips, they bounced the ball off of the walls of the arena and eventually through a goal. 

He had marble black eyes with hair that matched.  His beautiful tanned face held a kind smile, and his hands held a rosary. Jose’ was one of the many children we met today.  As the puppets presented the gospel message he listened intently.  After the puppet show Philip and Bobby shared the gospel message with Jose’ and his friends.  
 
While the other children ran to claim trinkets and candy, Jose’ stayed to look at the evangelism cube and ask questions. Philip and Bobby gave Jose’ the cube if he promise to share the message with others.  Even as he left, Jose’ was telling his friends the story of Jesus.
