At Zone Leadership Conference, a new mission goal was discussed and set. That every missionary companionship would baptize one person by the end of April. This is always a personal goal for each companionship. But it was set as a mission goal to help everyone baptize, to unify the mission and to really take the goal of baptism seriously.
