At Sun Mt planting time has begun and this year we hope to have a lot
more food in the ground. Bananas have begun to come in - green ones
boiled make a solid base for dinner. And the buildings keep going up.
The engine room is almost complete which promises light for carp this
summer.

V/indows arrived for the dorms and the shower house is next.
The 5th Annual Youth Retreat for Meadowbrook was another nice success.
It was an overnight at Sun Mt for the first time and the boys truly
enjoyed "christening" Largo House. After a nice breakfast we settled
down to a whole day of prayers, songs, messages and testimonies. It
was heartwarming for the 23 teenagers-one car got lost on the way.

Right up on top of the whole world is Sun Mountain. It's green peaks just 4)eg'old

sun to shine down his glory on them. And its not many places, that, .can hide from
Wa^e^s valley. Wayne's valley is a little place tucked between two lovely green peaks.

The
banan^ grow close together and its cool there and a nice place to take a little rest.
Especially when Mom comes down, there with a tray of cold sweet drink and maybe some sweet
biscuits.
But oh there is so much more to tell you about Sun Mountain. It's really going to be a
camp for lots of boys and girls sometime and right now its a camp for not so many. That's
because V2 are building and it takes time-and money to build. But Sun Mountain is still
Now, about animals. There are three cows. There is Shalimar and her daughter Norma who
is a darling calf. Then thereiis Julie...and want to know what? She is going to have a
baby calf very soon now. Oh, the boys love to see the new baby calves, don't you? And
then there are some goats. Momma goat is called Midni^t for she is black and was born
in the night. Her little girl is called Jeanie and she is really a darling. Jesinie leaps
all over the place when the boys come 'round. Up on the hillside is a pig pen and oh
de^l there are so many pigs! Jack is the daddy and Jill is the Mommy of 4 lovely fat
children. Miss Muffet has ten children, all girls except one eind those little pigs are
cute as can be# They afe fat sind tiny enou^ to wriggle throu^ the iron gate and run
out into the sunshine sind look for roots to dig.
So when the boys go to Sun Mountain they just dash in every direction to see all of
their friends and to check the berry bushes and bsinana trees and orange trees and sour
pliim trees. Five minutes after the car stops on arrival you can't find a boy anywhere!
In a little while they come back bringing a few treasures.
When there is time for a long walk the boys go down the far hillside to the cow pasture.
On the way they pass more banana plants that sing out a very important wco'ning. It's sm
earth crevis...a wide deep dark cavern in the mountain side that is very dangerous.
Every boy knows that you must stay on the path and walk very slowly and carefully past
there. When you get to the big rock it's all right to stop and look and that's what you
always want to do. If you call out your voice will sound very hollow as it makes it's
way down down down into the damp earth. Then suddenly you get scared and decide to hurry
away on past the bananas eind the jungle like greens...on into the sunshine again where
you can skip through the cow pasture and climb the steep hill on the far side.
But the hills have been there for all of God's wonderful time and our little boys are
only new to them. Yet there is something new at Sun Mountain and that's the camp build
ings that are going up one by one. There's the old iron dinner bell ringing and that
means Mom's got a country dinner ready for hungry boys. It's in the new dining hall
that's big enough for lots more boys than our family has. And girls too. Right across
from there is the new class room building for Bible classes and hand crafts. It has a
pretty roof that rain sounds nice on. On the other side of the big dining hall is Largo
House. It is a lovely dormitory where twenty boys can sleep. Easter time was the first
time the boys slept there and they loved it. From one side you can see far away lights
from the city at night and from the other sides you can watch green lizards rim up and
down tree trunks in the days.
It just always seems that just when you are enjoying that late afternoon ball game on
the play field it's time to go home. Sim Mountain's sun is slipping away, the animals
are quiet, the car is loaded and that means home. Summer will put an end to that for
we can stay for day after day after day. And we can hope that you will come and enjoy
Sun Mountain with us.

There is no way that you can really imagine our joy and excitement this month.
After these past three years of Saturday labor, of hard work, testing of faith
blessings of gifts, and even some tears, we are ready to open our first '"sleepin" camps at Sun Mountain.
The boys have finally been able to see what they were doing.
For kids it is
hard to see ahead and realize the goals that big people set. For a time it
was only endless work. But now the joys of Sun Mountain are being realized.
Oh, it is beautifull The two new dormitories are completed and painted and beds
are all in. The dining hall is spick and span and the kitchen nicely stocked
with camp food. Before this final week is over the finishing touches should be
on and roofs all on and the lights glowing from the light plant.
But the Spiritual part is always the sweetest. One one side of a hill is a love
ly spot dedicated to the preaching of the Word. It was built by the boys and
Mommy, of rocks all laid and cemented for seats and a lovely rock pulpit. One
day when we were almost finished we sent the big boys for two trees for the
cross. And it was good to see them cut it, nail it together and raise it up
some 15 feet high behind the pulpit and stone platform. Some sixteen miles away
you can see the Kingston harbor and the open sea. It is lovely and we pray for
The second week in July was dedicated to the underprivileged children of the
camp area and it was a week of rejoicing. Fifty one boys and girls ages 9 to 15
attended. It was a day camp beginning with breakfast and ending with vespers.
Now after two more weeks of work we are ready for the sleep-in camps.
Thank you for your loving gift. It is truly appreciated for you have come to
mean much to us in the joys and sorrows of our work. Just two days ago our be

How beautiful Is the expression of God's love all about us and through
us at the Christmas season of the year!
For those big eyes over the steaming turkey and the little voice
asking, "may I have a taste?"
For a big dorm full of sleeping boys after a long day of romping
in God's wonderland, Sun Mountain. It was family fun time.
But love Is more than that in our Home.
It's sharing. For instead of gifts for each other, Jim and I bought
Bibles - lots of Bibles. Fifty went to the Sun Mt country children and
lots went to Meadowbrook.
It]s love for the church too. AHd in December our Christian Evangel
izing Ass'n gave money for a floor In the Portland church building pro
ject SOTie fifty miles frOTi Kingston. Jim married a couple there recent
ly and spent a good day encouraging this new congregation.
And the month was climaxed with a telephone call from our son Tony at
University of Tenn.
fornia to spend the holidays with his friend's parents. Tony continues
to do well In school and assures us that his Spiritual life is growing
deeper.
And love also Includes you. For without you and your love for us and
support of this work, we would not be receiving all these blessings*
