1. Numbers should peak/plateau and then traper-off this Fall.

2. Peak number of missionaries will be around 88,000.

3. Numbers should stabilize in the high 70,000s.

4. Convert baptisms this year are about 15% above last year.

5. The 58 new missions created last year are (or should be) permanent.

6. The use of technology will increase dramatically--especially in the US, Canada, Japan and Europe, where all missionaries will be expected to purchase a mini ("a $400 expense similar to purchasing a bicycle.")

7. The brethren believe using technology righteously as missionaires will teach young people how to use it righteously forever.
