For example, although the Masaya city officials had guaranteed the availability of the stadium for one of two “Kingdom Loyalty” District Conventions to be held in December 1981, just 36 hours before the convention, they reneged. The decision originated, not from the mayor’s office, but from the central government. The brothers, however, were forewarned. So the day before, they made arrangements with a generous sister to use her chicken farm as an alternative site. It was about five miles [8 km] outside Managua. In order to prepare the site, volunteers worked all through the night. Over 6,800 brothers were promptly informed of the new venue by word of mouth.
