INTRODUCTION: The builder and developer of the Elkins Lake community in Huntsville, Texas, was a committed Baptist businessman. Out of his concern for the working staff of that growing community, he asked the pastor of the First Baptist Church of Huntsville to lead an Easter service on Easter Sunday of 1970. Though the original attendees were primarily the employees of the community, the community’s residents gradually began attending the informal services, as well. They even drove up and sat in their golf carts when the services were held outside in the spring and summer.

I met someone who lived in Wilmington at a camp in Charlotte about two years ago. We spent most of the day talking and getting to know each other, and he was an enjoyable person to talk to.

However, this summer I found out he was moving to Charlotte to live with his grandparents.

Cynthia Matos March 17, 2014 Latin I Period 4 During the repression everyone had been suffering from lack of food, water, and nutrition, everyone but the rich. They would walk past us with their fine jewels, and riches while we sit here suffering from the debt the country has put us in, but the one person everyone had despised was our great king Fernan. He was the richest of the rich, and would walk around our town with his servants feeding him, rubbing his food in our faces while we starve, but one day he will get what he deserves. I gathered the towns’ people over to the town square garden for a secret meeting in talking about the rich. I stated, “Why should we sit here and suffer while the rich are treated with luxuries and jewels, because we are poor?
