Missionary To Mexico
Apostle Orson F. Whitney set Pratt apart as a missionary on 4 October 1906. On 1 November, Pratt arrived by train in Mexico City and reported to the mission home. 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.

Famous quotes containing the words missionary and/or mexico:
“We crossed a deep and wide bay which makes eastward north of Kineo, leaving an island on our left, and keeping to the eastern side of the lake. This way or that led to some Tomhegan or Socatarian stream, up which the Indian had hunted, and whither I longed to go. The last name, however, had a bogus sound, too much like sectarian for me, as if a missionary had tampered with it; but I knew that the Indians were very liberal. I think I should have inclined to the Tomhegan first.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“I think New Mexico was the greatest experience from the outside world that I have ever had.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
