A First Presidency letter about the large number of converts "to be absorbed in the existing stake and mission organizations of the Church. Their assimilation into these organizations has come to be a matter of grave concern." This statement refers to the 21,669 convert baptisms in 1955. In 1995 there are 304,330 convert baptisms.
