People Treasure the Message of
a More Compassionate Lifestyle
Combined report by Nicaragua
and Costa Rica News Groups (Originally in Spanish)
Nicaragua
With the help of fellow sisters from Costa Rica,
from March3, Golden Year 3 (2006) fellow practitioners distributed 16,000
flyers in three days among the cities of Jinotepe, Esteli, Condega and
Juigalpa-Chontales. The flyers were received with positive responses,
and people expressed interest in knowing where they could buy vegetarian
products. They asked about the form of preparing soy, gluten and other
vegetarian recipes, and more essentially the preparation of soy beans
for the poorest areas in the country.
In many pharmacies, health food and grocery stores,
flyers were left so that their customers had the opportunity to get
the message from the flyer. Schools were also visited for flyer distribution.
Honduras
Fellow sisters from Costa Rica continued their
trip to Honduras. Local initiates were very happy to see them. In Honduras
they have less opportunity to receive Master’s latest teachings,
so the Costa Rican team spent some time sharing information with them
and helping quench their longing souls with the News magazines and DVDs
brought for them.
Then everyone began to organize the work for
the following days. In the next three days, 16,000 flyers were distributed
throughout the cities of Comayagua, Choluteca and Danli. Worth mentioning
is the local contact person. In every bus they took, she offered flyers
to all the passengers. And in one of the cities they visited, while
the others were distributing flyers, she went to more than four radio
stations to share information about the flyer. Her love for our Master
truly gave her an incredible internal force.
El
Salvador
The Costa Rican team originally planned to stay
in a sister’s initiates house, but they suddenly received information
two days before leaving for this country, telling them that they could
stay in the sister’s house only on Saturday and Sunday.
And on Saturday night the sister's husband told
them that the following day would be presidential elections for the
country; he was not sure whether it would be a good day for the flyer
distribution work. The team told him that they didn't know, but that
they would try to go to a place where there would be a lot of people
and could distribute the flyers.
Then in fact the arrangements of God were wonderful
and amazing. It turned out that there were many people in the place
that the sister’s husband chose for the flyer distribution. With
the grace and blessing of Master, in only a few hours they had already
finished distributing the 16,000 flyers brought for that country.
Guatemala
In Guatemala there is not a Center nor initiates
who could help the Costa Rican team with their trip. On Sunday when
they were still in El Salvador buying the bus tickets to go to Guatemala,
some sisters distributed flyers to the people there. A man who received
a flyer wanted more information. In the conversation, he asked the team
where they would be staying in Guatemala, and they mentioned that they
didn't know of a place to stay. He in a very natural way told them that
they shouldn’t be worried about such a situation. As he was going
to arrive in Guatemala before the team, he would contact a friend, a
taxi driver who would take care of them and would help them get a good
hotel.
When they arrived in Guatemala the taxi driver
was waiting for them with a flyer in his hand. He took them to a hotel
and gave them very valuable information for the distribution work. He
also became their guardian, taking them to the places where they needed
to buy the return tickets and get the visas. He also took them to the
downtown area and then the next day to Antigua Guatemala, where they
distributed the last 8,000 flyers. In that way they finished distributing
the 16,000 flyers in Guatemala.
Conclusion
The love, the care, the grace and the blessings
from Master that the working team felt during their entire trip are
impossible to describe with words. It was a hard work, especially in
Guatemala because there were no local initiates to help distribute the
flyers, but when they saw how people read the flyer and then kept it
like a very valuable treasure, they really forgot their tiredness. For
example, in one city they distributed 8,000 flyers. Later they had to
go through the whole city again because they needed to take the bus,
and it was incredible for them to see that the flyers on the floor were
really very, very few; they could not even count 20 of them! This demonstrated
to them that people are prepared to change to a more loving and compassionate
diet. For this reason it is so important to continue sharing this message
with as many people as possible.
