The new AALC has arrived and been welcomed to Accra and into OGC. AALC stands for Assistant Area Legal Counsel and OGC stands for Office of General Counsel. Dinah Degraff-Mensah has moved over from the secretary of the Area Presidency and is now a legal coordinator for OGC.
The minute I saw Elder Jacobs, I knew I have seen and heard him speak before. I do not recollect ever talking with him, but his voice and face were recognizable. No idea where. Could be a J Reuben Clark Society meeting, or Lawyers getting together, or it could be from the temple. They both were temple workers and so were we. I am wondering if it was at the temple dedication. I still have no idea where I have seen him before.
His wife is really nice and it was fun to get together at a lunch and ask questions of Dinah and the Jacobs. Dinah has a husband and a little girl about 3 years old. We learned as the lunch went on that her mother and a niece from her side and a niece from his side live with them. I guess it is a pretty full house. The Jacobs have four children and we learned about his role as a mediator. It was fascinating listening to him talk about how he needs to look into the heart and soul of a person because the real answers are there and not necessarily in the facts. He will go back to doing that when he returns home.
