Silver Spring South and Suitland Zone Conference, September 20, 2012

This final zone conference was held on a beautiful fall day which makes checking cars easier, but sitting in meetings more difficult.

There is much to be done before zone conferences begin.

Zone leaders set the rooms for training.

Elder Hunt and Elder Watson work with their car. 

The French elders have this sign in their car to advertise the English classes they hold in the Takoma Park branch.

Evidence of a beautiful day.

These missionaries have neckties that show apartment unity for Lexington Park and Patuxent.
