Tuesday we had our meet and greet with President and Sister Droubay, and they're awesome!
Turns out President Droubay is a pretty big deal. He has worked for the missionary department his whole life (Elder Hinckley anyone??) ever since he returned home from his mission. He was in charge of the #LighttheWorld campaigns and most recently he was the managing director of temple visitors center operations and construction. So he oversaw the building of the Rome Italy temple and open house, he was there when the first presidency and 12 took that sweet photo in all white. Last but not least he was 1 of the 4 man team that basically wrote Preach My Gospel. He lived and worked at the MTC for 3 months and had daily meetings with members of the 12 and first presidency as he and his team composed the manual. Whata Legend.
The rest of this week was great as well. Exchanges with Louisa on the 4th of July, and exchanges with the Mandarin Elders. IDK how Jake does it, that is not a real language haha. But those were great.
MLC on Friday was fantastic as we met with the missionaries from the Chesapeake mission for the first time. And discussed with them and president what its gonna take merging our mission with whats left of theirs.
1 Nephi 1:20 "I, Nephi, will show unto you that the tender mercies of the Lord are over all those whom he hath chosen, because of their faith, to make them mighty even unto the power of deliverance."
