October 22nd we had the Zapata District Conference in the Palenque building. The District has 7 Branches in it and the members came from all 7 Branches, in combis, buses, taxis, cars and on foot. Some came from as far as 3 hours away, the Branches are in Candelaria, El Triunfo, Tenosique, Balancan, Emiliano Zapata, Palenque and Benemerito. There were 504 people in attendance, which is the largest attendance we have had in the District for a Conference. President Haws presided at the Conference and it was a wonderful meeting. There is such a feeling of strength among the members and all could feel the Spirit as the Conference messages were given. The District has two Zones of our missionaries assigned to them. It was really great to be with them and the investigators that they brought to the Conference.
