They harvested 121,000 bushels of the wheat, barley, corn, beans, peas, lentils, garbanzos, and habas. There was not a school for the children. There was a church but it was destroyed by an earthquake in 1812. The Indians had free time to play games, gambling, and other things. In the daily schedule the prayers and the 27 Christian families sat down for breakfast and drank hot chocolate and ate atole. In the evening they went to sleep at 8:00 p.m.
