I went to Arizona on my mission. I had about 24 baptisms, but most of them were children from inactive families, etc. I spent a lot of time eating with Church members, and since I don't talk much, I let my companions do most of the talking. I don't remember convincing any investigator that the Church is true. The most remarkable baptism I remember was a man who joined because he thought the Church "promotes excellence". I didn't convert him; he converted through his association with other Mormons. He was very intelligent, and the father of intelligent children, one of whom was also baptized.
The only other adult I remember who converted was somebody I didn't have much rapport with. He claimed that my companion did most of the converting, and I don't know exactly what it was that convinced him to join the Church.
I didn't really have any deep religious discussions with my companions, either.
Did many other people have missions where they really felt they converted people?
