MormonTimes.com: Conference calls old friends for mission reunions
The Mendezes, of Statesville, N.C., who presided over the mission from 2000 to 2003, will go on to California to see more of the missionaries they knew in the Dominican Republic.
"It's always good to meet the missionaries again and see their spouses," Patricia Mendez said.
For the more than 350 missions that have reunions planned, LDS general conference weekend means getting together at chapels and homes to renew acquaintances, share food and music, swap mission stories, and meet spouses and families.
