Why would Pres Eyring say that they went from being missionary farewells to just being talks because of the shear number of missionaries going out? I don't think that was the reason at all. My understanding was that they were getting so over the top that they had to back it off a little. I think most wards are looking for people to talk at sacrament, it's not like these farewells were taking valuable time from people that needed to be talking in church. I found that a little strange.
