He served for nearly a year under President Hyrum S. Harris, during which he presided over the Toluca conference for seven months. Then, on 25 August 1907, Harris announced that Pratt would replace him as President of the Mexican Mission. Harris set Pratt apart on 29 September and the Pratts moved to Mexico City shortly thereafter.
