One

example

of

what

I mean. We made

a

stop

in

Joplin

Mo. for a

speaking

engagement at Ozark Bible College in t he m or

ning with a scheduled trip to Tulsa

Oklahoma

that

same evening.

Because

Vi h ad b ec om e a

little travel weary it was decided to leave her

and

th e trailer in Joplin

and

1would go to Tulsa

for t he e ve ni ng meeting

and

return to Joplin

that same night. 1 m ad e the trip to Tulsa ha d

got to th e

edge

of Tul sa the alt ernator on the

van qui t worki ng. It was la te in

th e evening,

no

garage open, the campground office closed

an d no way to let Vi know that 1 was having

problems, and not a lot of money in my

pocket.

That

is when I realized I ha d a

problem.

1 began to work it out

on

my ow n

bu t without

much

success.

I

found

a

service

station

open

and he

had

an a lt er n at or t h at

would

fit. Th e

a lterna tor on our van cannot be repaired, only

replaced, he said. But the problem was no t

i mpr ov ed b eca us e he would not accept any of

my credit cards or a check

an d

I did not have

enough cash to pay the ill Then the Lord

gave me th e answer . 1

remembered

Christ In

Youth, located in Tulsa. I began to call.

Everyone of the CIV team that I could think of

in Tulsa was gone. Finally

about

11 P.M. I

A

great

big thanks goes to all th e CIY staff an d family

wh o helped me that night. The Lord s

kingdom sure

has

fine people in

it .

This year s trip was also highlighted by two

of the children from Unit I traveling with us th e

last few months.

Jorge

until

They

were very good travelers

a nd r ep re se nt ed th e hom e and

very

well.

The

excitement they found in so many of

tivities while in the states was almost beyond

description. We were able to

spend

one

day at

Disneyland in California and

see

Mickey

Mouse. Perhaps one of the things

that they

en

joyed more than anything else was the big trees

in

the

northwest .

My

only comment

about o ur

travelers

would

be , ow I know why you

are

en

couraged

to have

children while you

are

young.

Having a four

and

five year old child

with

you

all

the

t ime is far

too much

for an old

man like me.

We will

share

with you the pictures of

Jorge and Lorena

in

our

picture section this

year because they were really the stars of the

show.

It was a good year. Thanks for sharing

with

us.

UNIT

Unit III

977

What Happened???

It is

true

the proposed

plans

for Ninos

de

Mexico included

the

opening

of Unit III in 1977. It did not happen and it appears it willnot happen in

1978.

WHY?

TWO

REASONS

Number

One -We felt we just could not begin this Unit now financially.

We have always felt

the

need of having the

money

or at least a

good

way of handling our

needs

without a constant appeal to you to Bail us

out of our

indebtedness.

This we felt could not happen now. We still

have a few building

needs

at Units I and II and

those

we want to finish.

Being

debt

free

on

our

properties

now means

we

can

finish

and

pray

for the remaining needs as we go then Unit IIIcan happen.

Number Two

- There was a need of additional staff members

to

handle

the ever

growing responsibilities of

our

program. Two

new

staff mem

bers have

been

added with

the

possibility of a third member this spring.

They will be able to relieve some of the

pressures

of

the

work load.

We

are

very excited about

the

possibility of Unit

very soon. We have

house parents in

mind

who want to come. We have children in need of

a home. We now have staff members to handle the responsibilities. Unit
