::Mexico, Part 3::

"Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful." ::Colossians 3:15::

One of our last days in Mexico City, we headed down to Cuernavaca to work with the church there. We split up into smaller groups, and my group headed to an orphanage. This isn't the usual kind of orphanage, because most of these kids still have parents who are unable to take care of them.

Our last day in Mexico we went to a market and ate nearby in Mexico City, then made our final stop at the Teotihuacan pyramids. This is a site with archeological and cultural significance. Many different ethnic groups lived at these pyramids, and it was a worship site with human sacrifice. There is a pyramid dedicated to the Sun and another to Moon, connected by the Avenue of the Dead. Now thousands of years later, it's a tourist site.
