One of the best parts of knowing so many people is making connections. Because Jackson is serving in Trujillo South, we were hoping he could make contact with Kathy and Kurt Marler, who are mission leaders in the North (recent division).
I mentioned this to Linda Condie at the temple and she announced that she and Kathy were college roommates. In fact, they used to double-date the Marlers. The McKays and Marlers grew up in the same ward in Escondido. Don Marler even married us in the Los Angeles Temple.
Linda and her husband served as mission leaders in the Alpine German-speaking Mission. Headquartered in Munich, it serves Switzerland, Austria, and Germany. Afterwards, they returned to Seattle, where Robert serves as a sealer.
We enjoyed a meeting in his downtown office where he showed pictures from their mission and encouraged us to serve missions. Their example has been very important to us.
The good news is that Kathy found Jackson at the MTC and even caught a picture!
