No, I don't believe that our conversion rate should be the highest. There are no historical precedents from previous dispensations to justify that expectation. In fact, doesn't the fact that there have been multiple dispensations prove exactly the opposite?

See, YOU know that, and I know that, but there's an awful lot of people out there who either don't know it or don't believe it. Goodness knows I've heard a lot of LDS congratulate themselves on being the fastest growing church in the world, as though that particular feather in the cap made the calling and election of the church sure.
Members who have been paying attention, of course, will have noticed that the leaders of the church have been keeping an eye on the growth of the church for some time.
