This is our Mission Leadership Council (MLC). Just before we arrived, President Smith and President Reynolds worked to combine the MLC by putting Zone Leaders, Sister Training Leaders and the Assistants in companionships with one missionary from NYC North and one from NYC South, and this is the result. Aren’t they a great group? Believe me, they are even better in person!
We told them that they are like the Mighty Amazon River. The ‘Meeting of the Waters’ is the point where two of Amazon River’s largest tributaries, The Rio Negro and The Solimoes River converge and run side by side without mixing for many kilometers. 
When they do come together they form the Mighty Amazon–a river that is so powerful that when it meets the Atlantic it dilutes the salinity of the ocean for up to 100 miles!
The NYC North and NYC South missions have been working side by side for years. Now we are at the point of confluence and we are so excited to work with the combined strength of the “Mighty” NYC Mission. A big thanks to these missionaries for leading the way!
Here they are “practicing” what they preach in small group discussions and role plays.
