That's what we call the French speaking missionaries who serve in Guadeloupe, Martinique, St Martin, and French Guiana. Elders in French Guiana attend the Suriname zone conference. The others join together in Guadeloupe every six weeks. We had a great conference with them on Friday. They are the 'fine gentlemen' of the mission who started the tradition of wearing crisp, clean long-sleeved white shirts to zone conference.
Don't they look great?

They're not being irreverent here - we do lots practice in zone conferences. Here the missionaries are planning a short doctrinal lesson to help strengthen members and bring the spirit before asking for a referral.

We use what is called the 'training model'

Sometimes explaining gets really fun - here the assistants are explaining how important it is for members to trust missionaries.

Sadly, this is the Malmrose's last zone conference. They served an incredibly effective mission on the "French side" and blessed the lives of many many people.
Happily, the Collings are here to continue the Malmrose's great work. They are an amazing couple who learned French during their previous mission in France. They are ready to get to work!
What do we do after zone conference?
Clean up
Set up
Have a little fun
et dites 'au revoir'
