Letter from Hermana McGaughy Jan 8 2010

"A MISSION DIVIDED!!!!!! Wow, so this week we had an emergency conference for the whole mission. The only time they usually have a conference with the entire mission is at Christmas because the mission is huge and extends all the way to the coast...making the Elders have to travel like 6 or more hours. Right now there are no Hermana's in the coast. Anyway, with tears in his eyes, President told us that they are going to divide the mission in June of this year. Mission Quetzaltenango is one of only four missions in the world that will be divided!!! The new mission is mostly the coast and will be called Mission Retalhueu. The chances of me being sent to a new mission with the new mission President are exrememly slim. Im like 99 percent sure I wont be changing. Except for the heat it would be awesome. But, the heat would kill me for sure!!!! Basically we will have one last conference in May in the which the President will announce who goes and who stays. I really have a testimony that he receives revelation and will feel who is meant to go and who is meant to stay. In these upcoming changes there will be a record number of both Elders and Hermanas coming to our mission. All should be really exciting!"
