When we got to the community meeting on the evening of the induction of the new leaders, we were surprised to find a very religious setting. There were candles burning and an "altar" set up. The meeting went on as usual, with no mention of religious topics. This type of religious setting is very common here and is shared by both Catholicism and the Mayan religion.

The leaders sit up front at the long table.
The audience is generally divided into
men on the left and women on the right. |

My (Heather/Erica's) mom, Karen, was visiting
us then, so we took her along to the meeting.
There is a community meeting once a month. |
