It doesn't matter, but to make you happy and others disappointed. OTOH, you would be happy if Jack the Ripper were called, "at least we got a Brit."

And I believe all or almost all of the leaders called are probably good, congenial men, capable of administrative oversight over large regions of the globe. Beyond the ward level, church service isn't much fun. Stake service sucks, so anything above that must really suck.
