Do you guys have any freaking inkling how much interaction General Authorities have with leaders, such as stake and mission presidents, around the world? General Authorites don't live in a concrete bunker underneath the granite vaults in Cottonwood Canyon.
There is continual interaction with Area Presidencies, and regular interaction with presidencies of the Seventy as well as the Twelve. I was surprised how many of the Church Hierarchy my dad knew from his time serving as Stake President in Saudi Arabia (is that far enough off the beaten path for you?).
Elder Nelson
Elder Packer
Elder Oaks
Elder Asay
Elder Ringger
Elder Neuenschwander
Elder Didier
etc.
A humble, righteous stalwart Stake President serving in Ghana isn't flying under the radar like some of you seem to think.
