WHAT EXACTLY ARE ZONE CONFERENCES???
WHAT EXACTLY ARE ZONE CONFERENCES?? Every six weeks, we host a Zone Conference for each of our missionaries. In our mission we have 8 zones and we arrange to have 2 or 3 zones come together for a day of special training. All the missionaries in the assigned zones are to arrive at one of our stake centers at 8:30 AM. We do three zone conferences each cycle in our mission, 3 days in a row. They last from 8:30-5:00PM. Missionaries from the zones arrive at a stake center by 8:30AM. Some missionaries get up very early (5:30AM) and use public transportation arrive on time. They bring their scriptures and study quietly in the chapel for 30 minutes (while an elder plays very quiet, reverent hymns). At 9:00 we begin our zone conference with a hymn, this time we sang "I Know That My Redeemer Lives". It was so inspirational! The President and I were tears by the conclusion of the song! Singing together with all our missionaries is one of my favorite thing
