Life at montreat Though we all gather for the com- mon purpose of education, Montreat holds a special meaning that goes much deeper than that primary goal. Montreat is green mountains. It’s fresh white water over flat rocks. It’s a pool of blue sky that has no bot- tom. It’s firey color spilled across hills. It’s dogwoods fresh and bloom- ing. It’s the smell of a fireplace in the cold crisp night air. It’s snow white stillness and icy window panes. Montreat is rickety bridges that creak when walked upon. Montreat is the sound of rushing water when you’re on your knees in the prayer porch. Montreat is stone walls that ooze nostalgia and history. Montreat is the still dark waters of Lake Susan telling stories of those who gazed on it last. Montreat is trees and trees and trees. Tall, strong, fresh, trees with deep unwavering roots. Mon- treat has been here since the dawn of time hasn’t it? Montreat is community. Montreat is building lasting relationships. It’s a thousand different activities and feelings and memories packed into a small amount of time. Montreat is every emotion all jumbled together. Montreat is people. Montreat is nearer my God to thee.” Montreat is more than a place, it’s sentiment, love, giving, in one of its purest forms. Caroline Johnson, Micht-llc Thomas and Car- ol Fox have learned that Montreal offers an | environment where they caW use their job as R.A.’s to become close to eachkother. Tracy Sauls and Kevin Rupert spend some time by Lake Susan on a secluded bench, a ' place to talk and share.

I would never have thought it would be this great! Awesome is the best word to describe it!!! So, how are ya’ll? Don’t miss me too much! Just Kidding! (I’m trying not to lose my sense of humor — I’m picking up a few good jokes from a senior here, Greg Ferrell.) You would like him Dad. he tells jokes just like you do! All of the people here are extremely friendly — although right now it’s mostly freshmen. Classes haven’t started yet, but we are being tested massively for place- ment. Registration was rough and we have to stand in lines to Fill out multiple forms, but it’s a good way to meet people. Another good place to socialize is the cafeteria, which serves food just like mom’s! (still practicing) They found a good way to get me to eat salad — serving trout or chuckwagon burgers! They keep telling me to watch for the “Freshman 15”, but I haven’t got any care packages — Hint, Hint! Seriously though. I am having a great experience here so far and I’ve been so busy I haven’t had the chance to get homesick. I miss you both and I love you, but pray for me as I will be praying for God to give me strength to face this new experience. Write Back! (cobwebs forming in mailbox!) Love Always — Your favorite Montreatian FRESHMEN arms.
