Part two, bio on Cyndi Cain, locutionist

Our sojourn east from San Diego was blessed. We stayed with friends
we've been priveleged to make through MIR-A-CALL Center, and God's
grace flowed through all of us. When we left Oklahoma City on May 7th,
we headed due east on I-40 toward Forth Smith, Arkansas instead of
our original itinerary of I-44 northeast through Tulsa. Why? We had
never been to Arkansas and the Ozark Mountains and wanted to experience
its grandeur and beauty. Little did we know, at the time, that it was
inspiration from the Holy Spirit which we acted on..not the wanderlust
within us.
  Our Lady told Cyndi that She would give us signs to lead us to the
spot where we were to live. On this very windy day of sailing clouds,
Cyndi was the first to see a rainbow in the sky just in view through
the windshield. It wasn't a classically formed rainbow in an arc,
but rather like a halo. This remained with us all the way east to
Shawnee, OK. Continuing on, Cyndi noted a cloud formed like a perfect
arrow and through an interior locution was told to follow the direction
of the arrow. She did, and lo and behold, there was a cloud which formed
a perfect column which rose from the horizon due east, and just where
we would have lost sight of it out of the windshield, it opened in
the form of a flower. Within the base of this flower more clouds
formed the perfect image of God the Father - as He is pictured in
famous artworks. This column remained all the way to the Arkansas
border. By now we were anxious and very tired.
  As we began our descent over Boston Mountain our oldest son Kevin
spotted two jet streams in the sky which came together to form a
perfect cross which hovered to the North...always north now. But how
far north? All the way to Carthage, Missouri? We weren't sure. Rogers,
Arkansas was next.
  There we made our way to the front of the Church. Kneeling in
prayer before the Tabernacle, Cyndi heard Our Blessed Mother say
that we were to stop for the day, rest, and she would send to us
those who would help us find a place. She added that the area from
Rogers north to Carthage had been specially chosen by her because of
the deep devotion of all the people to Her Son. Encouraged, we
planned to seek out an inexpensive motel for the night and continue
north in the morning. However, we'd heard from friends Don and Mary
Lou Geronime whom we'd known in our parish, St. John the Baptist in
Savage, Minnesota. They had recently moved to Bella Vista, Arkansas.
We called them. With great charity they invited us to spend the
night with them.
  We drove north the 15 or so miles to this small community in north-
west Arkansas. Don and Mary Lou offered us hospitality, and an eager-
ness to pray with us for Our Lady's intentions, for all the world
and our lives. Shortly afterward Cyndi received another locution
telling us that we need travel no further, that Bella Vista was a
very special place of refuge which She had selected and that before
the end of the week we would have a home. SHe would send to us those
who would help us.
  Next morning we attended rosary and then Mass at St Bernard's parish
with our friends, who afterwards introduced us to Don and JoAnn
Hiavaty along with many members of their prayer group who'd come.
One of the women, Mary Kay Sutton, who had begun the prayer group
the February past with just 3 people in attendance, offered to show
us some of the rental properties in the Bella Vista area. This was
undertaken on Thursday, May 9. The very first place was a townhome.
It was absolutely perfect, with enough room for the family plus the
space we needed for MIR-A-CALL Center and all the equipment required
for it and the publication. But could we afford it? Striving to live
the vow of poverty, we had to make every penny count. Debating over
it, we stepped out on the deck off the living room, to look out
over the beautiful grounds of one of the area's 8 golf courses.
In the distance, but still highly visible, Cyndi beheld a scene that
made her step back, grab Mike's arm, and whisper audibly, "Thats
the exact vision I had in San Diego!". It was Little Sugar Creek
and the embankment and rolling hills were exactly what Our Blessed
Mother had shown to Cyndi before we even left southern California.
We knew we were home! And by the grace of God the rent fit perfectly
into our limited budget.
  Here in this area that could easily be considered the belt-buckle
of the Bible belt, we bore witness to the power of God in our lives,
and proclaimed Our Blessed Mother to any and all we met. This
included many of other denominations who are taught to take a very
dim view of the Virgin Mother of God. Our prospective landlord was
one of them. He listened. He questioned. We shared God's love with
Him and the most beautiful Mother we all have. He rented to us, and
we moved into our new home on May 10, 1991, which happened to be our
tenth anniversary of our marriage. We had only our luggage and a
few pillows, but we were utterly happy. We were home, where God wished
us to be, to do whatever it was He asked of us, and to continue
the apostolate He had given us through His Blessed Mother. For us,
we could ask for nothing else!
  Yes, we know, it all sounds...crazy! But we're fools for Christ,
and He has promised us over and over again (and by "us" we mean
everyone who'll believe and listen) that He'll take care of all
our needs if we but trust in Him with absolute faith.
  It's been a time of great joy and peace. It's also been a time of
great trials and sufferings in this transition.  The financial
burdens of the move have been heavy. The growth of the MIR-A-CALL
Center speaks eloquently of Our Lady's guiding hand and the grace
of the Holy Spirit. Our message line now receives upwards of 5000
plus calls a month, with over 15,000 calls placed that can't get
through. The world is hungry for God, and eager to listen and receive
Our Blessed Mother's messages. Now, more than ever, Mary's messages
are needed in this troubled world. We need to keep them fresh in
the minds of those who've heard them. Another reason we've reprinted
all the locutions in this issue, we need to reach those millions
of people who have not heard them. Because they are God's words to
His children. They are the words of the most wonderful mother anyone
could ever have. They are the words to prevent and destroy fear in
a time when fear is rampant. Her words instll God into her children,
through which all evil will one day be destroyed.
