Father Serra left Fathers Miguel Pieras and Buenaventura Sitjar behind to continue the building efforts, though the construction of the church proper did not actually begin until 1810. By that time, there were 178 Native Americans living at the Mission. By 1805, the number had increased to 1,300, but in 1834, after the secularization laws went into effect, the total number of Mission Indians at the Mission San Antonio was only 150. No town grew up around the Mission, as many did at other installations. In 1845, Mexican Governor Pío Pico declared all mission buildings in Alta California for sale, but no one bid for Mission San Antonio.
He has a wife of 4 years, back home and shares the farm with his mom and dad. He has only seen a Native American once in his whole life. He has a normal childhood, going to school (in his own home, his mom taught the neighborhood kids), playing with his four sister and his former brother; who died when he was two from whopping cough. This is his journal during the American revolutionary war while he was a general. January, 1782.-The huts which we now occupy were erected the last winter by some of the Massachusetts troops, a short distance from the banks of the Hudson, and called New Boston; they afford us a very convenient and comfortable accommodation.
My first visit to Mexico was the best experience I had ever had, and to this date I have never forgotten it. My parents, brother and I decided to take a trip to Mexico for many different reasons. We hadn’t seen our family members that live in Mexico ever since we came to live I the U.S. Last time we were in Mexico was about 11 years ago, so it was time to revisit it. It was also time for a vacation, because we hadn’t been out from Salinas in a very long time. To me visiting the town I was born in was the most important, because I wanted to know where I came from.
The Act gave no mention to Native Americans already living on the allocated land. For a small filing fee and agreeing to live on the land and improve it for at least five years, each filer receives 160 acres. People can also agree to pay $1.25 per acre and own the land after six months. On the vast sweep of the plains and prairies, there was room for at least half a million such farms. The law was introduced and supported highly by reformer Horace Greeley, a founder of the Liberal Republican Party.
During the forty years from the beginning to the end of the project, they also completed the construction of the great domed Tabernacle, the Assembly Hall, the Temple Annex, and a 15-foot-high wall that, a century and a half later, still sequesters Temple Square from the city that surrounds it. And one cannot neglect to mention the Latter-day Saint wives, mothers and sisters who lifted no stones, but worked in a myriad of other capacities toward the building of the temple. Many worked at home to support their families. Construction on the temple began on February 14, 1853, with Brigham Young turning the first shovelful of dirt in ground-breaking ceremonies. That April 6, the cornerstones were laid, following the pattern established for temples by Joseph Smith.
Part 1 – In a Mountain Village (pp. 1-79) A) Part one, of the book Barrio Boy by Ernesto Galarza is about a family in a village named Jalco. The book begins talking about the only street, Jalcocotán in their very small village located in the mountains of the coast range of western Mexico. This street is important because every pueblo (house) in Jalco is on this street and anything that happens is done on Jalcocotán. In Ernesto’s pueblo there are his cousin’s Jesus and Catarino, his mother, uncle’s Gustavo and Jose, Don Catarino, and aunt Esther.

A more recent story is of the mysterious "itinerant carpenter" who volunteered to build an architecturally unique spiral staircase in a convent chapel in Santa Fe, New Mexico, which is as sound today as when it was first built, and has never needed repair. According to ancient tradition, Saint Joseph watches over and protects the Church. He is considered the model of perfect Christian life. Joseph, when dying, received the loving ministry of his foster Son, Jesus, and his spouse, the Blessed Virgin Mary, so it is believed that his intercession may well obtain the mercy of God and the grace of a peaceful and holy death. The principal feast day of Saint Joseph in the Catholic Church is March 19, Saint Joseph's Day.
John Phalen GEOG 351 Project 1 March 18 2011 Porfirio Diaz, President of the republic of Mexico first from 1877-80 and second 1884-1911, was born in the southern state of Oaxaca, on the 15th of September 1830. His father was an innkeeper in the little capital of that province, and died three years after the birth of Porfirio, leaving a family of seven children. Porfirio, who had Indian and Spanish blood in his veins, was educated for the Catholic Church, a body having immense influence in the country at that time. Porfirio Diaz was a 16-year-old militia soldier during the U.S.-Mexican War, the beginning of a career of military and political service that would lead him to the presidency of Mexico. Diaz had a brief stint as a neophyte for the priesthood before joining the army to oppose the U.S. invasion of Mexico.
Sunday school was followed by an eleven o’clock service that was opened up by the same three to four deacons saying the same old prayer and humming the same hymns every Sunday. This style of worship service is what I call a stale-base model. This is a Church that was stuck in their comfort zone, comfortable with doing things the same way with the same people and getting the same results in leadership as well as from the members of the church. In all my childhood years of attending this Baptist church until now of just being a former member, this church has yet to either excel in team-base leadership nor in church growth. According to Bulley (2000), congregations where programs are non-negotiable and feel there is no need for
