About 5 pm, we went to the mission president’s apartment for dinner and to visit with the other missionaries going home and the families that came to pick them up. Afterwards, there was a testimony meeting for all the missionaries. Pres. Batt spoke first, saying that 94 people were baptized in the mission the previous week, many due to the efforts of this group of missionaries. He said he thought this was the finest group of missionaries he knew, and he believed they were the finest in the world. They were the first group of new missionaries to come out after he was made mission president.
As you can imagine, this was a very touching meeting.
