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

my way. Perhaps 1 need to mention
that much of th e h el p in finding B ri an was f ro m

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

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
